Yup, Canales right hand man in Tampa.

Tepper is aggressive about canning people he hires. He's allowed the coaches and GMs to handle the player aspect...for now. I can see him start to tell Dan and Dave who to bench and who to start shortly though if things continue like this. Everyone thinks Jerry Jones meddles too much, but he's the owner and GM who actually has a football background. Tepper is an egotistical a$$ who thinks because he's made of money and successful in hedge funds that he knows how to build a winning NFL franchise.

Bryce will likely give up on himself before Tepper will, unfortunately.

I would tend to agree, but you know who the owner is right? You know how he manipulated a veteran coaching staff last year, right? We move on from Bryce when Tepper finally has enough, but that's his guy. Everyone knows it and I don't know if his ego will allow it.

The sad part is, Bryce likely gets one more season. He'll get the "new coaching staff, new system" excuse to survive another season.

Frank Reich tried defending Bryce telegraphing his wounded ducks over the middle of the field for two picks in our opening loss to the Falcons last year. Let's see if Canales will do the same.

I said last season Ewers would be the top QB in the 2025 class. That could change. I'm not sold on Sanders and Beck is surrounded by 5 star talent all around him. Same with Milroe. The one guy who has quietly gotten better every year is Jaxson Dart out of Old Miss. If he has another quality season, he could end up pushing Ewers for that top spot. There are a lot of solid BACK UP types in this coming QB class, but starters are THIN. We will need to be no lower than pick #3 to get a starter. Even then, not elite.

True. Actually the handful of rose colored glasses folks will either go silent now or completely deny they were in that camp.

Is this the offense or defense? Can't expect us to tell without the jersey numbers, for crying out loud!

The sad part is I am not an expert, but could have a assembled a better roster than the so-called experts.

We didn't give up nothing to draft Pickles and was able to move on from him easily. Plus he gave us Cam. Bryce busting has screwed this team up for at least a couple more seasons.

Who wants to trade for a #1 overall pick who is a bust? The Panthers would bite, but we would be the ones trying to make the trade. No other organization is that stupid.

Did I mention I didn't like the Mingo pick? I didn't like the Young pick for that matter either.

Me sitting back eating popcorn watching this train wreck, laughing at our most recent draft classes on display for the world to see. I wanted to go in different directions nearly every pick for years.

I said that last year, but the Huddle opted to develop Bryce over being competitive and winning some games. On the bright side, we now know Bryce is trash too. Nothing further to develop and time to cut bait. Oh boy, only 17 more weeks of Panthers misery. Hooray!!!!

The point being, the team didn't look nearly as atrocious last year in week 1 and that was Bryce's first game as a pro.

Frank Reich is having a really good chuckle right now. Good for him.

Says who? You know you are talking about a billionaire. Norms and shame don't apply to them.

Remember, we were over the cap earlier this week. The highest paid roster for the League's worst team. Let...that...sink...in. All that money and we are getting killed 30-0 at halftime. Tepper magic!!!!

Dang, sorry to here, man. I hope all ends up well

Building a fire pit area. It's been a long slow process. I need LOTS of sand, additional edging and pea gravel.

Agreed, but I need some landscaping supplies from the garden section, so that's outdoors too.

Should I go to Lowes or go to the park at halftime? I got a few minutes to make up my mind.

That sack was on Bryce. How does a QB see THREE guys lined up over and outside the LT and not change the protection??? Icky can at best block two, but not three.
