I don’t think Canales and Morgan are as sold as they.need to say they are bryce has to improve massively this year if he doesn’t, they will find another solution in 2027 the stats on QBs of his stature over time aren’t great…we shall see

Number 9 Carolina Panthers Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research. FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat. Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team. Week 1 starter: Bryce Young https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-10-worst-qb-rooms-in-nfl-starting-week-1-predictions/?fbclid=IwZnRzaARnWVNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xNzM4NDc2NDI2NzAzNzAAAR4I6-l7Gqrm0vzn3U7a_trcR4tcOJs0LSdal4B7l20pQeRwKTxD8w17l1lTRA_aem_RsfzhcPGr6Hmr56BjCd3hw

A lot can happen personnel wise between now and opening day if there is a linebacker available at a reasonable price who fits Evero’s scheme and is better than Wallace , Dan will upgrade

Canales seems different this year in the press conferences and interviews I can’t quite put my finger on it he doesn’t seem so ‘Sammy sunshine’ as he has in the past ..almost a tad detached maybe he was just deferring to Dan as the draft is Dan’s show

Good job

Cold brilliant but cold. lol

What I loved and sorta felt sorry for at the same time were the players going to either the Jets or Browns lol you could,see and hear their disappointment

I believe they are happy with the TE room cant fix everything in the draft or in one draft and the panthers have had little talent since 2016 they simply stuck to the best premier positions of need to what was available to them In the world of draft position, cap and contract management, dealing with aging and/or injured players, whose true status we do not know, they filled gaps and looked ahead to what that means for the money to pay a qb. after qb, the next premier position is OT and they have a lot of questions there that they hopefully now have a mitigation plan to handle..with o true depth behind either, they did what they had to do. Had Freeling not been there, different pick. they filled the void of DT with the departure of Robinson they got a speed guy who hopefully ,can take the top off a d/or play slot a lot better than.XL…and also fills a void if they can’t pay Coker next year will it wall workout, who knows but they had a plan and pivoted I know some of it is disappointing but football is built by the lines and that is what the best teams do

I read on Thursday that he may need another surgery ..I forget the site it was on

Rd 2 51. Rd 5 159 to Vikings rd 2 49 Rd 6 196 to panthers

Did what they had to do

Never know

Sometimes…a team not getting what a team wants is a blessing i like JR….not enough to trade up for him bpa

Freeling from the Beast A young, ascending prospect with real work to do, but the future looks bright. Strengths Broad build, with long arms and developed bulk Pushed himself to fill out his frame, adding 75 pounds over the past five years Outstanding quickness and body control out of his stance to mirror up the arc Smoothly redirects and doesn’t get crossed up vs. counters Uses both of his big, strong hands to thud and control pass rushers Power rushers can dent the pocket but gradually sinks and catches his balance to grind down bull rushers Stays alert to stunts; has grown to become a willing helper, if uncovered Generates drive power in run game to displace defenders Efficient timing and contact balance on combos/climbs Weaknesses Upright in pass sets and through engagement Rushers will out-leverage him when they reach his chest Can be beaten by late movement once he settles his feet Guilty of overextending himself in run game, zapping his balance transfer Inconsistent out in space adjusting to movement Missed most of Kentucky game (Oct. 2025) after his left ankle got rolled up on and didn’t start following week; played through shoulder injury late in 2024 season (gave up three sacks against Notre Dame) and underwent offseason shoulder surgery (Jan. 2025), which limited him for 2025 spring practices Only one full season as a starter Overview Hometown: Charleston, SC Birthday: July 25, 2004 Age: 21.7 Jersey: No. 57 High School: Oceanside Year: Third-year junior A starter for one-and-a-half years at Georgia, Freeling settled in at left tackle in offensive coordinator Mike Bobo’s balanced gap/zone scheme. After coming off the bench at both left and right tackle, he became a starter over the second half of the 2024 season and showed gradual improvements each game in 2025. He earned All-SEC honors as a junior, allowing just nine pressures; he committed only one holding penalty in 18 career starts. An ascending prospect, Freeling passes the eye test with his frame, length and movements off the ball. He is quick out of his stance, regardless of what the action requires, and uses his hands to latch and control defenders. Mixing up his pass sets, redirecting vs. skilled counters and using improved leverage in the run game will be the next steps in becoming a more complete player. Dane’s takeaway Freeling is still very young in several areas, but the future looks bright — his athletic toolbox and technical confidence continue to develop with each rep (he’s similar in ways to Kolton Miller as a prospect). Although bumps in the road should be expected, Freeling can secure a starting job as an NFL rookie.

I think he hasn’t played that many games at the position as opposed to the guy from Clemson, with 54
