If the rookie season were predominantly an anomaly your point would have more weight. But Bryce Young has started the season three years in a row with let's just be honest here. Some of the worst QB play we have ever seen as a franchise. And that's saying something. I'm hoping for a miracle from him to finish the season though.

I don't see him as being anything special. At the same time. You are basically acknowledging that a QB who is a #1 pick and 42 games deep into his career is barely marginally better than a rookie 7 games into his career whose team was resoundingly mocked for selecting him where they did. Certainly we are going to need substantially better than that from our QB if we want to take the division.

I wouldn't put anything past the NBA at this point. They need a scapegoat and we know they don't give a damn about this franchise.

He's working his way back in. I say good. If we take the division from them it will be that much more enjoyable to do so while they are at full strength.

Some say people are leaving the huddle because of the dialogue. I say this is the content that keeps me coming back

Dan Quinn's Commanders shut out and blown out by the JJ McCarthy led Vikings. Nice!

I've been saying the Bucs are not the team some have anointed them to be. They can be solid they can be really good at times due to some of the talent they have taking over games but on the whole compared to past iterations of division rivals they are certainly vulnerable and Baker despite all the hype still has those wtf games. Man I really hope this team turns a corner from here and stomps a mud hole in the Saints in New Orleans. The stars are aligned. If there was ever a time to put up or shut up it's now.

https://www.espn.com/nba/game/_/gameId/401810199/hornets-raptors Kon and Salaun each had 21 points and 5 threes. Both players are only 20 years old. Pair that with the other rookies who are also showcasing early glimpses and we have a very solid young core. Going forward not only do we need to solve the LaMelo Ball conundrum we also need to leave no stone unturned in looking at potential head coaching upgrades. I like Charles Lee in general but I just don't know that he is the guy to shape this roster into a contender. I think we need someone with more experience who can unlock the potential of the young players.

There can be multiple truths simultaneously. Evero and the defense have undoubtedly been a reinvigorated force and it has been a collaborative improvement no doubt. However there have been instances where he had fueled criticism of his scheme and his playcalls. But that has happened with all of our former defensive coordinators even ones who are highly regarded in franchise history. And there is also the elephant in the room which is the salary cap allocation to his side of the ball which is bottom 5 in the league for the year. There's only so much you can realistically expect from any coordinator with that circumstance. And right now they are certainly overachieving which is a great sign for the culture we're trying to build here. All that being said though. Evero. Much like Canales and our starting QB. Still has to get out there and establish some sustained success more than one or two games at a time. Finishing the season strong is what we need to see.

He's been like that for a few months now. He fully crashed out on me over Adam Thielen of all people. Hopefully he works through whatever is going on.

Everyone has their own way of processing. I personally would prefer to avoid spending the entire bye week recycling the same arguments about Bryce Young. I think we've got all the angles quite well covered at this point. This is a watershed moment for the team if there ever was one. Canales Bryce and the Panthers will either bring their A-game and look like a surging playoff team trending upward against the lowly Saints or they will revert to the same old same old and it will be another edition of disappointment which will certainly not bode well for the prospects of sweeping the Bucs. That result whichever one it will be will dictate the ongoing conversation and hopefully it is the former and we can all begin to rally around the team after so many years of nonsense. But. If it is indeed the latter then all involved will deserve any and all criticism because they control their own destiny at this moment moreso than they have in a long time which is a pivotal crossroads for our weary fanbase. Just win

As of this moment the Panthers are basically a seesaw. Let's win out the season and go from there.

He is certainly durable for his size I'll give him that. Whether or not he'll actually carve out a Doug Flutie kind of career remains to be seen. He has the benefit of playing in an era of the league that many former QB's would envy let's be honest. I think it really comes down to his desire to continue to overcome adversity and work on his craft. Whatever happens to conclude this season he will certainly be here next year and my hope is that he enters the upcoming offseason highly motivated to build on any progress he's made. The last thing we need is a repeat of the last 3 offseasons.

Well we can certainly attest that regardless of Bryce and Canales highs and lows the roster as a whole does have enough talent for us to compete for the division and the playoffs. And the plus side is this is a very young team. In all honesty yes the Panthers offseasons the last couple of years have been a little too much good vibes only and sunshine and rainbows. Canales has the potential to be the Panthers head coach for the next several years. We are seeing the makings of what appears to be a culture shift but unfortunately we're walking a razor thin line between that and full on catastrophe until we can string together consistent convincing wins. I sincerely hope to see it to finish the season.

The league and sports media at large has been salivating for Bryce Young to "arrive" since before he was even drafted. It's the Alabama effect.
