I came here to make this same post. I have two, a conservative prediction for if this performance was the result of a surge in morale and the team comes back down to earth a bit and an optimistic one for if this is who Andy Dalton and the Dalton led Panthers really are:

Bengals could be tough and a hard dose of reality, but if not, and we're 2-2, this could get interesting. 

Broncos, Giants, Bears & Commies are all winnable.  We could grab a few more division games.  And then maybe an upset or two from the rest. 

Best case, 8-9/9-8, I think likely 6-11/7-10, won't be super pissed with 5-12, but after today we should be able to win more than 3 out of this schedule.

I picked 6 with Bryce lol, you don't want to know. I don't want to know.

Teams are just now rounding into shape. A few years back this would have been game 2. 

I don't know that the team knows how to not lose, to (not) snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, that usually comes after a season of being close (but mostly losing). Seems to me.

I expect the home field will be gooder than it has been, I think we'll beat some teams. I really hope to keep any losses close and know we had a chance. 

 I have looked at this week as the week to start grading stuff, and two years straight with Bryce at QB we didn't need to wait. 

This poo with Dalton, he can throw the ball. If we protect him we'll win probably 7, maybe maybe 9 if we keep these players on the field.

Who knows....

If we get to 6-2 or 7-3 this place will go nuts with things like Super Bowl talk.

    • He seems to be a well-liked, humble locker-room presence. If he's not a problem, what's the need to evict immediately? Why not let him develop under Canales without the pressure of being the figurehead. He was benched because he wasn't performing baseline NFL QB tasks. Pre-snap he was seeing ghosts and post-snap not even bothering with progressions. Even when "creating" outside the pocket, he failed to execute baseline NFL throws. The kid looked rattled. It's a combination of the actual hits, the media hits and his own personal frustration with failure. That said, the narrative  that he doesn't have the physical talent to play in the NFL is incomplete. Yes, he lacks physical talent when compared to the elite of the elite, but his size and arm strength are not reasons he can never be successful in the NFL. They just can't bail him out. The problem has been the lack of decisiveness. That's why you see him drifting backwards on his tip toes, constantly re-setting his feet rather than taking a conventional drop. You're never gonna get the velocity when constantly throwing off your back foot. The  mediocrity of his physical talent only compounds the issue. We gain very little by getting rid of him, especially in comparison to what we paid. His value will never be lower. Maybe some time out of the spotlight will help upgrade the Pentium Pro to at least a Sky Lake. Matt Cassell went for a 34th overall pick. Sam Darnold just threw 4 touchdowns in Minny for a 3-0 team. Hell, the 36 Y.O. Red Rifle has the media in a tizzy trying to learn the names of Panther's players to explain why the Raiders got molly-whopped. Maybe Canales is a QB whisperer. Maybe he can turn BY into an asset of greater value. We've already paid the cost.
    • I don't think Bryce is the type to try to divide a locker room, so I doubt its a distraction to keep him
    • What I think about it won't matter, but if he is not causing problems we have a lot tied up in him. He is a big cap charge.  The only leg the Youngs have to stand on is that the team ruined him. There is no more, crappy coaching, no talent around him, that is washed away. So, he is ruined or he just sucks. Those are the choices.  They have to go with ruined. Not a big selling point. They will understand that the only real option is to stay put and try to rehab. I would keep him the year and offseason at least just for the money. Which he gets regardless of how bad he is.
