I don't even want him as a backup. He is not playing good football at all and his answer to that has been flipping off his own fans while averaging $37.5 million per season.

If Dave Canales suggests going after Geno Smith he should be fired on the spot.

Perfectly reasonable position. Especially in the current sports media landscape where it has become intertwined with social media and that wasteland of constant grifting.

The trade is over and done with and he's gone and he isn't coming back. Turn the page. We've got bigger fish to fry.

I understand why you mention the way he talks but I see it as largely irrelevant and not a needle mover one way or another. How he prepares the team for gamedays and how he coaches and the decisions he makes on gamedays are what I am concerned about. But replacing him is an issue that opens a can of worms some of us may not want to have to look at. Beginning with first and foremost if we fire Dave Canales then there is no rational logical reasoning for keeping Scott Fitterer's former right hand man Dan Morgan around. The only one who should be spared would be Tillis. But that conversation has another layer to it. At the end of the day the justified speculative assumption is that these people are glorified yes men to David Tepper. So anyone else hired will be in the same vein and possibly an even more inferior version because realistically who will want the job as either GM or head coach? So logic dictates that the most reasonable path from here unless we play horrifically the rest of the season is to completely overhaul the QB room and give Canales and Morgan one more year. Then if it is ultimately more of the same you clean house. Now some of us may not want to hear that right now and I completely understand. But that is the reality of the situation.

He is not worse than Rhule. Please stop.

I like Steve Wilks the man. I was not completely against him as the head coach but at the time I saw it as a lateral move at best given that he was and is realistically another version of Ron Rivera. And there was not another Cam Newton walking through the door. I leaned toward us finally hiring an offensive minded head coach again and directing more resources to that side of the ball. We know Reich didn't work and honestly Tepper played a significant role in that. Canales has been better but he just does not command a locker room. All the talk for the cameras is just that. It's a fugazi. He to me does not appear to be the head coach to create a strong culture for the next decade. He's too timid and indecisive. There is a chance he could still work out if we actually overhaul the QB room but I think our best chance would be to go the route the Seahawks did. They hired a DC from the Ravens and let him create his own staff. In less than 2 full years he's put his stamp on that team. Can we say Dave Canales has put his stamp on this team? What's our identity? Exactly. Bueller???? That's the problem.

There are two truths currently. We need a new QB room beginning with QB1 and we need to take a long hard look at the available head coaching candidates after the season concludes. Both will happen if we are a serious franchise.

Well. I think I'm done with the offensive minded head coach experiment. Let's get a hard nosed defensive minded head coach in here and let him hire his own offensive coordinator.

The very first comment on the video is someone simping for Bryce Young Mr. Magoo could see he is not a franchise quarterback.

We're talking about a #1 overall pick 40+ games into his career on his second coaching staff. There's a reason everyone in the local media walks on egg shells with any remote level of Bryce Young criticism. David Tepper would probably see to it their press credentials with the team were revoked if not.

Hate to hear that. Awful we wasted such an effort from him.

Not even remotely embarrassed to be a Panthers fan. That ship sailed a lonnnnnnnnnng ass time ago. When we find new ways to sink lower I just laugh and keep it pushing.

I must have completely missed this. The Panthers in general are aloof AF.

Correct.

QB. Round 1.

With the way the team tries so hard to tightly control the narrative around Bryce Young even 41 games into his career where he has looked either mediocre or awful through the bulk of it at this point I think the Panthers would probably try to revoke the credentials of any reporter who attempted to ask questions like that.

Dan Morgan has spent most of his time even when he was assistant GM with his nose up David Tepper's ass. He is a sycophant. Hard truth.

Been saying it all along. People who believe Morgan was opposed to drafting Bryce Young are living a lie.

Few garbage time yards for the road. Got a long flight back home.

Another pick. Must be Dave Canales fault.

Oh look suddenly we have weapons again when the QB actually pushes the ball downfield when the defense has been daring him to.

I don't honestly care if we fire Canales I have no attachment to the youth pastor. Doesn't change the fact that we have the overwhelming bulk of 40 games of Bryce Young telling us he is a limp noodle as a passer.

Oh they will be fully on a milk carton.
