He probably has a thought or two about that too. OTOH, DJ Johnson was his bonus baby so his hands weren't totally off the yoke when the trouble started.

All I can say is the wins are too expensive. I'm happy for getting guys back on defense. I wonder what the return of Thielen does to/for the WR/QB dynamic. Brooks. That is what I am focusing on.

You might be right. If I bought in on Young, I'd be feeling better. He is starting to ascend from horrendous to mediocre but the limitations are still there. I have given him credit for trying and standing in there and stepping into a throw under pressure. I mean, yeah he needs to do that for sure and had been afraid to. It is part of the job. He figured out poo was serious and if wants to play that's what it takes. Kudos. Unfortunately man, most of what I see from those wins is we dropped way down our draft position and more people are buying into a player that has almost reached his ceiling. It is purgatory. Quicksand. And keeps us in this poo state another year. Or worse, they do what the NYG did with Jones and then we are really trapped. We were trapped into two years, but are so close to not being trapped anymore. Almost there - unless this is good enough for people. And it is for so many out there, apparently. it is like a sentence to me. The rest of the players are supported by me and I can discuss them in a more optimistic tone, and do. I can't lie about Bryce Young to keep you in that bubble.

They'll do a number on a shark. -
Those 50 point people are not thinking of the two TDs Young will get in the 4th qtr. So, 36 point loss?
-
Man there are some great players on that list that probably don't get in.

I like the cats vs snake videos I see on youtube. Wonder if panthers are that quick. As far as the ass kicking, we have seen this all before. I actually will be pleased if Bryce Young goes ahead and emphatically writes his final chapter in his Panthers tale, then we can all start looking to get out of this mess. -

First find a team named after amphibians or reptiles. And dolphins, they are bad asses what they feed of fish schools. They work in pods, like a school. Multiple dolphins and it is orchestrated, coordinated. I was fishing a school of seatrout in a kayak and here they come, right in on my school. I definitely had to leave they could have knocked me off that yak pretty quick. 6 or 8 of them. -
Don't care that much about him but he is better than Young. Incentives could make a contract work for both sides. I look at two things, his 2022 season and the time removed from the November 2023 torn ACL and think a case could be made that he'll be right and well healed by 2025. If the role is strictly defined as mentoring, or up to a half year of being the bridge bridge, I go with Dalton again; if it offers a chance to compete for real I go with a younger reclamation guy. This offseason will be Canales' chance to do something, we'll see what he chooses to do.

What franchises are in worse shape than the Panthers

I'll believe the Saints are cap fuged when they burn it all the way down and face a couple of seasons of vet minimums and castoffs to get their cap free again. That has supposedly been coming for ten years. -
Carolina may not "be sold" on young (per athletic)
strato replied to Champagnepapi704's topic in Carolina Panthers
I saw Dalton have a bad day and a not too good day but feel like his floor is not as low as Young's and his ceiling is higher by a good bit. I expect on any given day against any level of defense the offense will just look much better with him running it. -
And the guy that ran it is mentoring Evero. Which is a kind of a strange but true thing. I agree that if a change is in order this is the time. Before we add players to the little we have. Once you do you have taken steps down a path so you need to be sure that you won’t want to do the opposite next year.

Well, this is the original sin basically, with Tepper's regime. Making us Pittsburgh, that 3-4. Will he allow a change? Because if you do this you can't change back in a year.

When she saw that locker room video of him with his cartel tats, it was all over. -
Woody is Teppering.

DeVito will put butts in the seats for one thing. He is a local boy made good. Where are they playing? If at home I would start there. He did okay last year and they may want to see what he looks like, as well as Lock who may yet get some play. Who knows....

Worse shape is pretty tough. Jaguars maybe, maybe Titans. Maybe Jets because they have an owner meddling issue a little bit. Pats are better off at QB and that weights it to being better off because you can upgrade the rest a lot easier. Jags are about to be keeping up with us on coaching flips and fails. Titans, I did not not understand Vrabel being evicted it seemed the opposite of how to proceed. They aren't right that's for sure. New Orleans is on the precipice that's for sure but their QB situation is better. Ouch, btw, to be worse. Loomis does poo that won't come home to roost until he has been dead for 20 years. Giants have done some expensive and dumb poo, I guess they are in the running. Dolphins could plummet if their QB gets hit in the head even one more time but no. When I look at Tepper and Bryce Young and us still paying for him with our second round pick this year, I don't know who I'd pick besides the Panthers in the present time. Getting Bryce out and a better QB in, and a good draft could change my tune. -
More like time to give it up. He can't do that. To me his future has been displayed. In college.

Bye week trivia- Without looking it up, Who leads the Panthers in...
strato replied to Basbear's topic in Carolina Panthers
I haven't looked but knew A'Shawn was in the conversation. With this QB and what's been going on with the WRs all year Chuba would be a great guess. That I didn't think of. Last time I did look we were somewhere around 160 points behind the 8 ball but then we won twice and I am so interested this year I forgot the scores already. -

The menu will be Pop tarts and a juice box. -
I don't follow the NYG but looked into his history there. Jones was Gettleman's baby but Gman retired. I see no sufficient upside in Bryce worthy of more investment of time or resources, and am not restricted by fandom in my thinking regarding options. There will be a few of them and Jones could be one. They turned down the 5th year option and he had the 2022 season and no more. BUT, he played well and they went to the playoffs. And won a game. He set a record adding 70 yards rushing to his pass totals of 300+ yards and 2TDs (sounds like a record that Cam would have held). They sucked it up and paid him and only got like 4-5 games from him and eventually it was torn ACL halfway through the season. Those can be two year injuries as far as getting all the way back, and he is just now about a year removed. I'd keep an eye on him at least, he was showing enough to get a new deal. Wherever he goes it will be prove it, and his last prove it worked out pretty well.
