the team has gotten better every year that Canales has been here. The thought that he might be fired is just social media gibberish.

Correction, meant to say Seattle had a limited passing attack in the SB. Darnold did do enough to win.

Over the last couple of years, the league has tended towards dominant defensive teams winning the SB, with both winning teams shutting out the other team in the first half. So I am ok with building a dominant defense. For all the talk about Darnold, Seattle essentially had no passing attack in the SB, but it didn't matter.

Given the lack of respect for the Bleacher Report here, I would think this would be a good thing. Fwiw, we have won more games than they predicted each of the last two years, so maybe it is a good thing.

Just make throws when he needs to, and win games. That is all.

Players don't make the playoffs. Teams do.

Yeah, I understood that. I would have just said it different. Trivial thing I know but it was early in the morning when I posted that.

The news story on it this morning was a little confusing. Out indefinitely, but will likely play this season. So its not really indefinitely.

Fixed it for you.

His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so. And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble. He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.

Fwiw, our schedule was middle of the pack last year. Mainly because our division was so bad. Against teams that made the playoffs, we were 2-4. Not great, but not horrible. With a below average defense, and an offense that had the youngest group of pass catchers and pass throwers in the NFL, its probably slightly better than expected. One thing I would like to see this year is that we don't start the season in a hole. It would be nice to be at least 2-2 after the first 4 games.

I think the Eagles and maybe the Bears take a step back this year, and aren't going to be as good as forecast.

The Jags were one of the best teams in the NFL last year.

The Superbowl winning qb from this past season was horrible his third year. Significantly worse than Bryce.

The only thing I can say about Bryce is this. He has gotten a little better every year. Still not great, but better. And in his first season, he had one of the worst group of receivers in Panthers history, with Thielen being the only one that could get open and catch the ball. They might have been worse than the group that Newton had to deal with in 2017. This will be the the first year in Young's history with the team that the group of receivers he throws to hasn't gone thru major upheaval. Assuming no injuries. Because of that, I expect improvement to continue. Whether it will be enough improvement remains to be seen. Fans here say he can't throw it deep. But we have seen him do it. He doesn't have the best deep throw, but he certainly can throw it deep when he has time and an open receiver. The deep ball to Legette against Atlanta was a beautiful deep ball. You have to have receivers that can get open and catch the ball to throw it deep.
