Not what I was looking for there. You, I believe, would advocate forcing the issue and getting Canales out if possible. I am looking at if I am Canales oholding a 6 year contract with 4 years left and just won the division and almost an upset in the playoffs, and has that stadium rocking… And you want me to give up my autonomy and likely demote or terminate my right hand guy… I would likely dig in my heels. You would have to push it hard. Too hard. You will have big time upset Apple cart. For me, I can’t see how Idzik is any better at it. We looked at that in preseason and IIRC people were bitching. But someone bitches about every single thing that is done or not done so who knows….

I don’t see how it is supposed to work when Canales has his mini me as OC by title, but is de facto OC. How do you inject a play caller from the outside into that situation?

I don’t know what Caldwell does, for one thing, but if he had anything to do with drafting Bryce he can gtfo now.

Exactly how I feel about it. It is wasted time.

I don’t know what he is. I feel like he the driving force behind the team being where it is the last few years with the QB obsession and that trade up at the root of it.

I don’t remember the game but I could swear we saw that earlier in the year. Same fold. The 5th to last pass Young made was absolutely a big time throw. That last bit, turn in your clutch card.

BTP, you get a half point if you get within 3 yards before the ball is thrown.

Yep. And Kris Jenkins. It was good. Great times for a fan of defensive football.

Sorry I flashed on all the 4 man rushes that defeated us. As far as our D take me back to a 4-3 and the guys from 2003 era. 4 could do it. I know under Tepper we are doomed to rot with this 3-4.

Talking in flattering terms about our OL should be banned until they can stonewall 4 guys. Any OL. I mean, 5 on 4 and plus a TE and a back, you still leak like a sieve, you aren’t getting it done. Should be embarrassed.

Seems the coaches go as their QBs go in the NFL.

That would continue the pattern. He is pretty good at getting value from what he trades away when trading down, which gives some ammo for a trade up.

Technically we most likely would not have won on that drive just tied. But I am in agreement about that last 38. Nothing. Folded. Bring Canales in if you need to, but don’t leave Bryce out. Ball was in his hands 4 times. And we got zip.

I only really vaguely remember watching him with SF, seems like it was all WCO.

I have a feeling we were doing that at least in part because Rico is not as good a pass blocker as Chuba. IMO. He did not feel as valued as he needs to feel. I think. If that is it, I get that. At the same time, think he is overrating himself wanting that bell cow role, because he wore down very noticeably from the cumulative effects. And even towards the end of the games where he did wear the bell. Cramping, needed a blow, when it got late. PS we played 18 games this year. There is a breaking point. You gotta have two backs that can carry the run game alone, and use them in concert, to excel. IMO, again.

As I recall, not much of an arm.

I didn’t post on here nearly 9 months because of the bullshit, but am too addicted to Panthers watching and fanning to hold out any longer. I have been ‘up to here’ with the constant back and forth since I came back and have abstained from making comments many times. And engage in plenty of other aspects of things- players on the Panthers roster and the season and the games but I only get treated poorly by the pro Bryce fans. (The extreme ones, and I feel like the more immature ones).

Yeah the carries were really meager a lot of times. 30 to 35 split relatively evenly gets him enough to get going. I think he sees himself as the bell cow, and is looking for 25 of the 35.

I completely understand that. And if they put the weak room in place we are never gonna have anyone but him. Oh boy. Here is the obligatory yes I know he has had some good games and made some good plays. I don’t believe though.

I sure have. I wonder why you troll this place so hard too. I wonder about a lot of poo.

I mean, he is primarily a pocket passer type. So you’d want to have a good pocket for him. I don’t really follow them but they seem to suffer the opposite issue we do. They let their offense suffer to bolster the defense. We do the opposite.

Just as long as every year for the last three.

I think the tell on that is how they construct the QB room in a few months. If they don’t change anything they are hypnotized.

I didn’t get any kind of vibe off of Rico that he wanted to come back and play for Idzik and Canales and split time like he did this year.
