The decision to put BY in timeout is the right one for a number of reasons already discussed.  I actually think it is best for the team, but also the best for BY.  However, it seems like it has become a very negative distraction for the Panthers.  You cannot listen to any sports show without the pontificators giving their opinions on how the Panthers are a terrible team and all the negative stuff around the decision.  This absolutely cannot be helping the team.  

My question is this:  Why didn't Canales just announce that BY woke up with some soreness in his shoulder and we feel it is best to sit him this week against the Raiders?  It would have avoided all of this negative PR and allowed the team to focus on the Raiders.  Reich pretty much did this last year against Seattle with the phantom ankle injury.  This would have taken the national spotlight off this and the media firestorm.  The Panthers go into LV with Andy and if he plays well, then you just stay with the 'hot-hand'.  Why make such a big 'announcement' that we are 'benching BY'?

A week won't fix the problem nor the PR hit. Who cares what the talking heads say. Have to do what's best for the team.

This 100 percent. Tepper is a terrible owner and has made terrible decisions and seats have been putrid. However I do find it funny that there are all these media outlets defending Bryce. He is not an NFL QB and would be shocked if he’s in the league 2 years from now 

They’re already setting up the narrative that the Panthers David Carr’d him

Because negative news sells. The PR that worries me the most is this idea that college QBs will not come here. That I am afraid is a story that will only be said over and over. I wonder if people like Florio realize that the purpose of the draft is to keep the NFL viable.

These media outlets don't want to admit they were wrong, don't read what defensive Coordinators say about him, and/or don't watch panthers games

This decision is not about beating the Raiders, this decision is about getting the QB room right and also about keeping the locker going in the right direction. This is a good move by our coaching staff and finally showed some competence from a team that has not displayed much know how over the past 6-7 years.

Good point.

      Mayes has a weight advantage at Center.  Christensen’s versatility is valuable but better on the outside than the interior IMO. Mays can also play multiple spots along the interior. I think we’re in the best position we’ve been in years with the OL.

      Back n 94 or 85 (We had just drafted Biakabatuka and Moose) I was at an OTA in Rock Hill and I bumped into Donnie Shell, the player personnel director, I believe.  It was just after the AFC playoff final when Harbaugh was the Colt QB and he had a pass dropped in the end zone that would have beaten Pittsburgh.  I grew up a Colt fan--so I told him how it made me sick, and he laughed--very nice guy.  I then asked him about the Hall of Fame, and he said that he appreciated the thought and he prays for it, but there are so many of his teammates from that Steeler team who deserved it more--he said that it probably makes it more difficult for him because they do not want to let in every Steeler and they could argue that I was better because of my teammates.  He was very humble.  I told him that I was only a young kid, but I remember him bringing it just as much as the others--I was so happy when he was inducted--even after he laughed at my Colts.
