I think fans want the #1 overall pick, who had a rough first year that some exposed issues......to not take his first offseason completely off of football. and while Luke is an outlier. I think Bryce's first NFL offseason given what he is.....probably makes him a bit of one too. Because I don't think his offseason, is a very common approach by those that have been in his shoes.

Luke Kuechly didn't even have a TV his first 4 years in the league. I mean, it was a bad answer by Bryce Young coming off the season he had. Not the end of the world. I think it's fair to say that wasn't a good answer given who and what he is. He didn't just say he watched a little Netflix. He said he had nothing to do with football all offseason. Hard to imagine, Cam, Luke and a host of other Panther greats...intentionally having nothing to do with football early in their career or after a bad year all offseason.

too many smart people in football these days. The old school try and stop what you know is coming approach just isn't going to work (minus having just an absurd roster where the talent levels are just out of whack). You got to be innovative on offense. NFL defenses in this era will feast on the predictable.

I'm just going off of what exists. and all the offenses he has been apart of have shared some very similar traits. Going back to Seattle. Which doesn't seem to play to Bryce Young's strength. Run the ball and then chuck it deep to the outside. That's what Canales has always been part of. And his first investment, was a WR who does that. I'm not saying Canales shouldn't do anything. I'm just saying, no one has ever described that as Bryce Young's game. That's not why we drafted him.

He had another 40+ XP against GB. Eddie the last 2 years is 51/55 under 50 yards for Carolina. That's pretty reliable FG kicker. While being 7/9 from 50+ . I mean, he isn't Justin Tucker. BUT....his FG% is also #3 all time presently behind only Tucker and Butker. It is what it is and he is trying to leverage that against the worst team in the NFL. He isn't a JAG kicker at this point in time.

Shows 3 last year. One of those was a 40+ yard XP. end of the day, he has been a solid kicker the last 2 years. K hasn’t been a weakness

I mean, assistant HC Duce was most definitely a hard nosed yeller. He style was shown on Hard Knocks.

I mean, the league average is to be shotgun heavy. some teams trend toward the 70-80% range. With short yardage, goaline and kneel downs bringing them down. KC, Phiily, Ravens? A lot of the really good teams are very shotgun heavy

he tip toes and drifts deep to see over the 6'6 monsters in front of him. I mean, if you put him under C and put him at the same depth you would Joe Flacco on throws.....I don't think that is going to yield good results. Bryce despite his size, actually plays the middle of the field well. But he has to play quirky to pull it off.

he missed 1 FG under 50 all season last year. he missed 2 FG under 50 the year prior and made most of his 50+ both seasons I think Pinero is just wanting off the worst team in the NFL. Competitive teams are looking for a reliable kicker. Seems like he is just playing that card.

I just don't see how you can effectively do that with him given his size limitations. I mean, sure here and there. But Bryce Young is a shotgun QB.

fair question, is when does scheme and play calling factor into a run game being league worst. I mean, we had virtually the no threat of attacking teams downfield. Had really bad OL play. Were probably one of if not the most predictable offenses in the NFL......and our lead back was (no disrespect) Hubbard . AND we outperformed the Tampa run game.

meh, Canales talks a fair amount about an offense he didn't really show in Tampa. Run game was trash and the Carolina TEs in 2023 were more productive than Tampa's. his O was carried by the play of the outside WRs

I might could argue that's it's not the worst move if you are the kicker. Given how he is kicking right now. It's the end of his deal. Panthers don't want to give him a deal? well, cool, they also aren't going to waste a roster spot keeping him like they would a real spot so they would have to cut him. Too many teams kicking issues. Some team would sign him to a multi year deal given how he has kicked 2 years or so).....and that team probably won't stink as bad us as.

Jets picked up Cohen I saw

I mean, I think the people would rejoice if we could reach the level of the interim Wilks/PJ/Sam Carolina Panthers this season.

I still think Luvu hurts more than Burns. Luvu has either been our best or 2nd best defensive player the last 2 seasons. Burns was #3.

I'm not sure there is even a troll account that has claimed the G play wasn't bad last year. I think some don't think you can use the bad G play to explain everything away. NFL is full of bad OL play every year. And studs still generally find ways to shine more than BY did last year.

2023 offensive staff was full actual of NFL guys. So who wasn't very nice? Probably all of them. Asst HC Duce, QB Coach McCown, OC Brown, WR Jefferson, OL Campen, HC Frank, etc. All former players. NFL guys. New staff is lighter on actual NFL guys. HC didn't play. OC didn't play. QB coach didn't play. Asst HC/RB didn't play. OL didn't play. So I could see this O staff having a very different approach and not being as hard on dudes. Not saying one way yields better results than the other. But I could totally see guys that have done it being tougher verbally.

He hasn’t even made it to training camp yet. basically every coaching staff from middle school to the NFL

I mean, I was on record as team Sanders at the start of his college football venture. But Sanders has basically pulled the curtain back on himself IMO. Deion is the only one influencing me.

and they won just a whole 4 games this year. with a completely overhauled roster in a pay to play world......with what some are pimping as a game changing QB. they didn't overachieve. I think they are poorly coached. I think they have poor leadership....and both showed down the stretch. Deion is a great marketer. Always has been. What am I talking about with the QB who did them no favors? He plays with his completion % and TD/INT ratio in mind. He avoids throws and opts for completions and he flat out opts to take sacks. Hard to debate that. All those sacks aren't on the OL. They weren't great. Call them bad. But plenty of big name QBs saw more pressure or comparable pressure...... and took less sacks. But team Sanders is about team Sanders and Shaduer going into the NFL. Not Colorado.

video also says QB Bryce was horrible pre snap and post snap. That's how you make whatever your OL is......look way worse. And he wasn't good at that at Bama either per the guy in the video. He also spoke about how Bryce's size forces him too far back in the pocket. Which is going to screw up pass pro.
