I listened to these guys on a weekly basis on my drive home from work. They're pretty fair and right on with their assessments on the team from a fan standpoint. They see a lot of the same obvious issues that fans see too.

In all honesty, no one knows if Dan really pushed for Bryce to be drafted. It's not fair to Dan to say that just because he was a part of the Fitterer regime then he was in full support of drafting Bryce. If the HC, Reich at the time really wanted Stroud but got bullied into drafting Bryce then Dan had even less say so in the matter. Dan was also saddled with giving Bryce an opportunity to compete in years 2/3 because of the cost to trade up and get him by ownership. Outside of managing the QB position, Dan has made good moves and built a decent roster. Solidified the O-line and D-line, drafted contributors, and made good trades (Mike Jackson), and free agent signings (Dowdle). I do believe that this offseason will be really important for Dan and we'll see whose side he is clearly on. Bryce has had plenty of time and opportunity to prove himself and he has failed, if Dan is a Bryce homer he'll give him another year and pick up the 5th year option. If Dan isn't a Bryce homer, he'll move on from Bryce. Either way, we'll find out this offseason.

I actually hear it all the time, the most common remarks are about how teams don’t throw it his way because he such a good corner.

In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

I would prefer to hear them say that he is playing at a pro bowl level, he's had so many INTs, etc. It's not necessarily a bad thing that they don't mention him but he was expected to have a breakout year and it seems like he is just having an average year.

Kind of weird, are we really that desperate for a CB? Also, Chau-Smith Wade has been super quiet lately, I don't think I've heard his name even be called by commentators in game. He was getting so much hype during the offseason and so far hasn't done much.

It's not the only issue. She said it was the "biggest" issue. lol

I honestly feel that his kicker bailed him out on this one. Imagine the criticism he would get if Fitzgerald missed the kick and we actually lose. He had plenty of questionable decisions and poor game management at the end. Winning covers up a lot of blemishes.

wow!!! Canales is trash management!!! Don't defend him as HC anymore!!!!

I now believe that if Canales started Rico the last 2 games, we could have won those games!!

Now we are going to see how valuable Bryce is to this franchise.

Damn, did anybody see D Brown just throw that O-line man to the side?

Seriously? It's only 2 pumps!!!

For some reason, it looks like Chuba has regressed to his rookie year

If you rewatch that play, T-Mac was on the opposite side and didn't even run a route, thats how I know that XL was the first and really only read for Bryce. The mistake is compounded by XL also falling.

Packers turf is trash, multiple missed tackles and players slipping. But I do question why Canales did not call up a play for T-Mac when is clearly the better possession receiver. It's like Canales is trying force XL to work, kind of like Chuba or Dowdle.

What the hell is this? Things are actually going the Panthers way?!?!

At least we finally have a positive point differential in the 2nd quarter?

Is that what a deep ball looks like? I've never seen that play by a Panthers before!

DAMN T-MAC!!

oh look a missed tackle by Nick Scott, what else is new?

lol, Roseboom is so trash

Penalties, adding insult to injury literally.

Reports are that Rico will start over Chuba. Let's see if Canales is actually learning how to be a HC.

I agree that Wilson isn't the answer, I'm simply just saying that there is a connection there and Canales favors his Seattle boys ala David Moore. But people want to see if Bryce is really handicapping Canales or not, then let him choose his QB who he's worked with and see how he does. Also it'll let us know how much influence Canales has over Dan Morgan.
