Speaking of Chuba, we have Etienne, and we should be involving him more. Why not?

Agree with this on most everything, but one. I don't think Chuba makes a helluva difference. You're assuming that he's not fully healthy. Healthy or not, when a team can dare you to beat them with the pass, especially this team that basically only has one starting caliber receiver---including TEs---your RBs are not going to have too much success. If any opposition the rest of the way is worth it's weight in gold, they will follow the roadmap and lighted pathway that the Saints used, and the true problems behind our team will be highlighted every Sunday (and the one Monday) for the remainder of the season.

I approve this message

We're just too damned conservative now. I mean we can't just count on winning one way. We have to figure out a way to get the pass game going.

Nick Scott has gotten his share of Huddle hate, but I came across this SI article by Zach Roberts when I was researching recently released Quandre Diggs, speculated to be a better option (https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/07/breaking-titans-cut-former-three-time-pro-bowler-quandre-diggs-4-destinations-ranked/3/), but getting back to Nick Scott... Now to be fair, the observation on Scott was before the Packers game, but the stats couldn't have changed that much, and may have gotten better. "At some point during virtually every Carolina Panthers game, you have probably found yourself grumbling about Nick Scott. The much-maligned safety has seemingly been out of position a lot or has failed to make a play. The eye test has often let him down. "But that's why stats are so helpful. Sometimes, the eye test, especially for fans, is unreliable. On occasion, advanced metrics help make sense of things and lend more clarity. In the case of Scott, they make him look like a much better safety than any of us would've guessed. "In coverage, Scott has given up just 15 yards and an average of five yards per catch. That's the lowest among safeties, leading superstars like Julian Love, Talanoa Hafunga, Quandre Diggs, Kerby Joseph, Kyle Hamilton, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. "In FI%, the safety leads all his counterparts once again at 40%. Brian Branch, Camren Kinchens, and Xavier McKinney are some notable names he leads. He's been pretty excellent in pass coverage, which is crucial for the Panthers." For those wondering, "FI" means forced incompletions. Now I'm way past trying to figure out why X links aren't embedding for me like they used to, but here you go: https://x.com/dacornerman/status/1981363757608513632?t=rx_5iLjp8_y5huNcg_y1nA&s=19 Suffice it to say that Scott may not be as bad as some have led on. https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/much-maligned-panthers-db-way-better-than-think

After seeing QBs sit, switch multiple teams, and somehow start balling out, I think we should bring him in if it comesndown to that. He didn't have much experience at all upon entering the league. He'd only be 26, so maybe his best time is now. Why not give it a try?

I wonder if Dan and Dave have this same belief. We'll see what's what with Evans fairly soon. We'll see about Bryce in the off-season. What's on obvious to most Huddlers seems to escape the FO.

T-Mac is so much more than that. He really is.

Twitter, a.k.a. X, is rife with bots, trolls and idiots (for real). Twitter is confirmation that many people are just as dumb as we thought they were.

I mean, it's pretty simple. Canales is adapting based upon the limitations of his QB.

Same one, wasn't it?

New system, injury and age.

I just have to think that he was simply unfortunate to come into the league to the Jets and then be traded to the Panthers, one terrible franchise and another now shaky franchise that has been terrible as of late. Not to mention Baker, but Sam Darnold looks like a totally different QB. He's out there slinging with confidence, going through progressions, making reads, taking what the defense is giving him, and then pushing the ball down the field without fear. My goodness, someone here really screwed the pooch. I don't know where Fitterer is, but the dumpy car salesman just got an extension. I wish I knew all the other dodo heads who were in on our layers of failure pertaining to Darnold, you know the ones that are supposed to help QBs develop and those giving input on personnel, but I hope that they have other employment.

Canales left him at the 49. We'll see

Slow developing run play on 2nd and basically a wing and a prayer on 3rd that's 12 yards behind the sticks on a key possession. Sigh

It would be OK if Bryce knew how to throw a damned catchable ball.

That's yet to be determined. That's a helluva contortion job to try and catch that awkwardly placed ball.

I disagree. The ball was not in his vicinity. You would have an argument if it were. His momentum was taking him away from the badly thrown ball. He wasn't going to save anything.

The ball was nowhere near Legette. Legette had issues, but he wasn't going to catch that ball regardless.

The fuging pass was nowhere near X @kungfoodude!

That's not on X in any shape fashion or form. It's just a horrible throw. You think X can change momentum, particularly with a guy all over him?

El Oh El

Olsen just told you. Enough said.

Bryce just has to be smarter on the play. Anyone arguing otherwise just wants to argue. He should know the rules. Everyone knows them.
