Gamble was unsung for sure.

I am fond of the “this HOF QB had a crappy rookie year” argument. So did a lot of guys that washed out of the league. So you know that Young is like the HOF guys and not the washouts... It’s like politicians talking....

That's where that analytics division starts giving back. I hate to hear the is huckstering that bad. They think there is no limit.

Well I was figuring his footwork and the little ease on back thing he has going, and that tippy toe hopping, are just too far afield of anything good that that just is what it is. It is next to impossible to change that stuff at this level. Tiger Woods broke his stuff down... never the same. It is not easy. Then I considered that maybe he has not done enough under center work to have that bad form drilled in and could possibly be taught correctly in that discipline.

People came here when the Charlotte.com board closed down I think. I remember a few people. There were some people here that knew football (not me) and the other 90%. 1st page o two a thread might be pretty good, then someone insinuates that a Panther player is an All Pro or JAG and it’s over. 10 pages of two guys having a pissing match. This place has always been a cesspool. Always. Go figure, a 2-15 team owned by David Tepper inspires negativity.

Young really needed lower body stuff, will be checking out his figure. Also I remember I think the CB we drafted measured almost right at 5’10” 185 and I was thinking to keep my eye out for them standing next to each other for the hell of it.

Wait for the pads and the hitting and the pressure.

I think Prescott is overrated as well. He is a lot better than anything we have. But it is so much money, I’d just steer clear. I go withg what Frankw was saying, we need to keep plucking guys with potential from the draft board and cut down lists and one will hit.

It seems as though he likes and is in some sort of synch with Canales. It’s been a lot of years since we have had that I am good with giving then two unquestioned years.

Could have been a bit worse for the skins if they hadn’t had Cousins. For a 4th. Uhhh Commanders lol.

I prefer the manager delegating that to his coordinators. You could work up a system that took as much as possible off of the head coach’s plate to allow him to call an offense. It has been done (we may even be doing it). I prefer not confusing things with too many responsibilities.

It’s so obvious. How do we know that no QB stood a chance last year? We really only had the one and he was handed the job. I have rewatched games. Guys were open during the season and the QB was provided good enough protection to do something with. Every play? No. But there are so many that want to portray it as never did he have any chance of success, like... ever. Well, that is not never. You make lemonade where you can .. according to your ability. Football really NEEDS at least a flag football developmental league to teach guys how to play in the league. And to find out who can.

I hear you. I think this year for Canales is, or should be, evaluate. And expend significant energy into that, prioritizing it over being HC. Grow into your role as you go. And Evero was a critical piece to secure in order to allow Canales to focus. He and Morgan being on the same page is humongous. It could produce with time.

I so badly want them to make the culture all about competition. At every position. They coddle the QB starter right now and that should not be the culture. Handing people jobs. Just beat someone out. Anybody. Plummer has no chance. Just a body. So I guess he is ‘anybody’. That sucks. Bring in players to push the people in front of them.

There was somebody saying something like this: if the Panthers don’t believe the guy has a great future even though he may be able to help in the short term, like he is better than what they have right now, they are passing on the position to get an overall better player. Someone with better long term prospects. That could be a philosophical shift. I don’t enough to judge if it is an improvement to run things that way but I understand the thinking.

We made it to now if he leaves there is compensation. But if Tepper is smart he will match any HC offer and revolutionize the coachihg structure of the NFL.

That should just happen, any time you have a chance to grab real potential. We need to have people who aren’t afraid of being challenged, they enjoy the challenge.

I think it probably would have if he would just get out of his own way. Stuff like bringing in not just a good one, but the top analytics guy, that could be very helpful down the road. Whatever he must be paying Evero probably is on the positive side of what having too much money can help with. I don’t think he’d have necessarily been back without some massaging.

forgot to include the quote: best play in panther history Pretty great. X Clown also. I was always real fond of Jake’s 1st play vs Jacksonville simply for his entrance into the huddle which completely woke people up. That and what they went on to do in that game was a major turning point for the franchise.IMO. Kris Jenkins’ kick xp block vs TB is a big one for me.

I bet one would. But I hear you and hope he can control himself.

Yeah that is the old school way, have your young QB sit. Which I guess got less popular when they had to pay the top draftees so much.

We are going to have to hope Tepper keeps his poo together and lets things breathe a while because Canales was hired ‘early’ for HC and they hope he will adapt and grow. His first test with this QB is a tall order. Hopefully Tepper gets that by now. The real reason he is here seems to be the helping QBs rep that he has, plus I guess he handled his first OC job without any big hiccups. His general background also including WRs.. he should be a passing game guy. That understands the power of the run game. I think OP was looking for someone to say yes the enthusiasm is back and all that stuff, okay. I think he has much more energy than the last two guys, and seems real smart too, knows what he wants, etc. I’m hopeful for the long run, at this very early stage.

Honestly he creeps me out some. Can’t verbalize the entire feeling but TV evangelist vibe is an element, there is also a high school cheerleader facade. So far I like him in his job and think he projects to be good hire, possibly, but there isn’t much to go on yet. I’ll just hope he isn’t too twisted.

Big game and you need this. Your QB misses a wide open target 20 yards downfield or the RB drifted out and has green grass in front of him, and QB hits him in the side of his foot. Plus, loss of down.

I don’t see a path to anything unless they completely build their plan on his strengths. And will add, he must fix his deep ball. Legette is the rX for that from the team. Young has to be a lot better at that. Period. in my case: Or else.
