How would you feel if...

[musicman]

Bryce plays better every game and finishes with decent stats and a few wins? Doesn't have to set records, just keep improving. 

DJ Wonnum is back to being healthy at DE and helps generates pressure and a few sacks with Clowney?

Adam comes back as the slot receiver and between him Coker and X, they start getting around 300+ yards as a group per game?

What if JT Sanders is the real deal and is developing into a top 10 TE?

What if MLB Wallace is a more than solid player in the mold of a Dan Morgan?

What happens if Brooks is a great 1-2 punch with Chuba and they average well over 100 yards per game?

What happens in Horns stays healthy and we have a true shut down corner?

What is the O-line continues it's dominance?

4 wins or 6 wins, maybe even 7, doesn't matter. The team shows improvement and plays like a team and it was injuries and a new mentality needed by the team and HC to turn this around. Would you be supportive? Still negative (same old Panthers)? 

Looks like to me we had a turn around year to be positive about and few more add ons (draft & FA) and this team could at least compete for the playoffs in 2026. Health is #1 and having a system in place for a 2nd year would be huge. No matter how the year finishes, those points are what I'm rooting for.

I mean that’s all I have ever wanted

Lot of ifs in there.

I doubt anyone would be against any of the things you said, but the odds of a lot of what you said happening aren't that realistic.

Always an "if"

[LinvilleGorge]

Bryce playing just good enough to give the team enough hope to roll with him again next year is the worst possible scenario.

[Donald LaFell]

I’d love to watch a group of players put it together. 
 

it doesn’t matter how well Bryce plays for the rest of the season. It won’t make up for the glaring weaknesses he’s already demonstrated. 
 

I remember way back in 2005 when the Jags had those monster DTs in the middle and the patriots methodically game planned around them to beat them in the playoffs. you couldn’t do that with Bryce.

I truly think Canales mind is already made up no matter how well he plays.   He's bring someone eles in.

I think so too. I think Tepper is probably there too. When you fire a coach midseason and then next season the QB still looks the same and the new coach is telling you the same things about him as the old coach at some point reality has to sink in.

[MechaZain]

I need at least a hint of more than "decent".

Bryce showing signs of life would be the best thing for this organization. A lot of you don't like the QBs coming out this year. If Bryce shows enough to keep the from taking one, we rebuild the roster so that we are well positioned for a better QB in the next draft... that would be win win right?

[rayzor]

I'll do the same poo I've been doing for years. Complain, say I'm done, and then stick around and hope it's better than I think it will be.

I don't know. I just hope we get better.

We have a good OL. We have a good RB and another highly drafted one. We have promising young WRs. We've setup the next guy by trying to build around Bryce.

Agree, Canales sees the limitations of Bryce and even if he shows some improvements, he is too limited for long term success. And this is one of the reasons I like Canales, he seems like a no nonsense guy when it comes to the players as in the player giving us the best chance to win plays.
