If we bring him back cool. If not it's not as if it's going to make or break the season.

Speaking of connecting the dots. In actuality the poo function itself used to be only merely symbolic. It was changed to reflect neg rep as a counter measure for truly egregious posts spammers and rude rival fans. But there are unfortunately a few people who use it solely for personal retribution on a fairly regular basis now. If that sounds like an unhealthy toxic personality that's because it is. Glad I could help you connect those dots.

We have that. His name is Jimmy Horn Jr.

Oh please lol. If that's enough to trigger someone they need to get off the internet for their own well being.

Man this franchise has the most random and worst timing with everything. I am glad he is okay though.

Agreed. For me if I'm the Panthers. QB is in the upcoming draft plans no matter what. We need to develop a young QB2. The position is too important for the team to continue treating it as inconsequential. Now what round that QB is drafted in will be dependent on how Bryce Young looks. If he plays his ass off throughout the season then we can swing on a mid round pick. But if Bryce is average at best or has another set of games where he plays really poorly but then has some better games down the stretch then we should heavily consider swinging on a QB early. In that situation you have simply got to bring in real competition. Let them duke it out in camp 2026.

Good for Cam. I don't have any interest in watching anything on ESPN though. In general the First Take format is incredibly stale.

To be clear I am legitimately hoping the Tepper's have actually learned something through the worst win percentage in professional sports. Anywho. Icege pooing posts over valid David Tepper criticism is peak white knighting. Never seen anyone here so delusional and that includes PFFL.

I don't think it should be contingent on turning Bryce isn't a franchise QB. I'm skeptical of some things with Canales as well but he's a coach not a miracle worker. He can't change Bryce's physical make up. Furthermore if you fire him before giving him an opportunity to identify and acquire his own QB you are not going to get quality coaching candidates the next cycle.

Guys let's not go off the deep end over Renfrow. Canales success or failure will come down to whether or not he develops these young players.

We got Hendon Hooker? I'll take it.

The issue is they were hired in the first place. And Mr. Tepper didn't just hire front office executives to handle everything. He personally hopped on a plane with his right hand man Marty Hurney and flew out to Matt Rhule's house and let Rhule woo him with meatballs and life stories. Tepper was also fully involved in the hiring of Reich and did so bypassing another candidate in Wilks. Tepper also made it abundantly clear that he was pining for Bryce Young months before the draft. To believe he was not steering the trajectory of the team in some significant capacity throughout this would be akin to believing in Santa Claus.

The man held a press conference where he did virtually all the talking after firing his third head coach in three years while relegating his front office personnel to glorified lackeys. Do you work for the Tepper's?

I like the WR pickup. 6'4 205 caught 8 passes for 147 yards in preseason.

It's crazy what can transpire in only a months time

In any profession in life you gain experience by doing. We need to know what we have in these receivers in order to move forward accordingly next offseason.

We won 2 games and had the worst passing offense in the league and probably in decades with Thielen leading the team in receptions two years ago. Some people are acting like we traded a hall of fame WR.

See that's why so many convos here get into the weeds and contentious. Folks are more than eager to groan about a lack of offensive young talent then when we do have good young talent (two first round WR's and a young Jalen Coker) they say that talent isn't good enough. You expect top tier play from the moving parts within the offense at all times but you'll accept literally anything from the signal caller and call it progress. Doesn't make sense.

Great QB's elevate those around them.

I'm intrigued by a corner named AJ Green.

I do wonder what changed and when though. Thielen went from being a big Bryce believer to lowkey talking up JJ McCarthy and calling him the future face of the league before training camp. Doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement.

It's wild this man has generational wealth for being a complete fraud.

I mean not for nothing but this is literally what we drafted him for. He was already supposed to be ahead of the curve in this area. Guy was regularly billed as a smaller Peyton Manning in terms of his football IQ before the draft.

Pick swap and a 4th round pick. I mean that's best case scenario. Now we can move on. I'm eager to see Canales develop this young WR core.
