hes doing what everyone wants him to do while at the same time growing this team.  Tank. Carolina is not going to the playoffs this year. 

Do you think he would have abandoned the run if Carolina had been a better team? The Bucs had one of the worst run offenses last year. I am beginning to think it wasn't because the RBs were bad but because Canales just doesn't see them as the focal point of his offense. Canales wants to pass. Problem is I think Young would be better, much better in a run first offense. I imagine the perfect offense would be like the one the Chargers have.

Definitely would have liked to mix it up more but we missed kicks, fumbled in FG range in OT...his play calls put us in position to score enough points to win and we didn't get it done. I think the ceiling for the team is high with him.

I’m not overly concerned if a rookie head coach makes some fixable time management or play-calling mistakes in his first year, especially on a team that was already destined for the bottom of the standings. Those issues are fixable, and I’ll only start worrying if they become a consistent problem in years 2 or 3.

 

What matters to me is how the team has progressed from the start of the season to now. From what I’ve seen, after being benched earlier, our undersized QB has steadily improved week by week, even managing to make games competitive despite the team’s flaws. The coaching staff, led by Dave Canales, has taken what seemed like a long-shot rookie and helped him develop into at least a serviceable quarterback, with the potential to become our long-term QB1.

 

This season, all I wanted to see was improvement and evidence that Canales has a plan that works—and so far, that’s exactly what we’re getting. The team has shown consistent progress as the season winds down, and on top of that, we’re likely securing a good draft position without needing to reach for another rookie QB.

 

Canales’ development of this team has been top-notch. That’s what I care about most, and he deserves credit for it. Now, if he uses the offseason to refine his game-day management, we’ll be in great shape moving forward.

      Ian Rapoport: "Don't expect the Panthers to Draft QB early in the draft"

      Megatron reincarnated. Pair him with Bryce and watch the touchdowns pile up.

      When a boy becomes a MAN!

      How many clutch chances did he have in this game? How many short fields? How many drives did he come up clutch? How many passes did he deliver to keep those drives alive? Clutch drives are opening drive, 2 minute drive at half, opening drive in 3Q, comeback drives in 4Q, 4 minute drive to close out a lead in 4Q, short field drives on TO, and GWD. This is why you pay a QB at the pro level. Otherwise, just get an inexpensive Sam Darnold type, stack defense and double down on the running game to carry the QB. Young tanked the opening drive (scripted). Stalled on 2 drives in the final 2 minutes of 2nd half (one was a short field TO chance). Came up empty on the opening drive of the 2nd half. Failed on another short field after a TO. A 3 and out in 4Q while trailing. A go ahead drive for a TD in 4Q with 3 minutes to go. Left too much time on the clock for a 3 point lead. 1 for 7 on clutch drive opportunities & only 2 of 26 completions that resulted in a TD drive. Is this a winning QB, nevermind a championship QB? Consistent success? We can all agree he was inconsistent in the redzone. 3 of 9 for 21 yds and 0 TDs. 1 rushing TD. 4 redzone visits. Is this your standard for a franchise QB? I can't change any goalpost when we're staring at the hard facts and not ignoring everything but the few highlights you're gripping tight to. He is the QB and needs to CONSISTENTLY step up in these moments to be considered a franchise QB. Unless that franchise wants to be a perennial losing organization. The stats and drives would tell us Young was a factor in the loss given his opportunites. Drive enders outside of Young were Hubbard, Moore, Ekwonu, and Hunt. Moore, Ekwonu and Hunt were only responsible for ending 1 drive each. 13 total drives. Young and Hubbard were responsible for killing 8 drives. 27% of drives need to be TDs to be a good team. The Panthers offense led by Young and Hubbard were at 15.4% against the Bucs. Panthers were 17.4% for TD conversion before today and that will be lowered. The Panthers offense was slightly above Giants and Browns level of offensive production against the Bucs. That is a clear perspective of where the key offensive leaders, Young and Hubbard, stand as an offense. Coker, Thielen, and J.Sanders have been successful as receivers, but there is no core leader at receiver with Johnson still being the most targeted receiver going into today's game. The offense converted TDs at a higher rate (20%. Better than the Steelers/Texans and just under the Vikings) with Dalton at QB absent Thielen. Keep that in mind too. Bryce Young highlights and moral victories mean nothing going into year 3. He has every drive to prove himself better than back up QBs in their 30s. Bring performance based numbers and splits to prove these numbers insignificant. He's not going to be ready to compete in the league at a playoff level for at least 4 more years based on his numbers and low rate of improvement. The defense will have to carry a QB on Young's sub par level to win.

      Legette is killing us

      Hubbard was seen as a jag who couldn't block and couldn't catch a cold. Now he's our offensive focal point. Now he had a killer fumble but he put in the work and now he's a viable 3 down rb. If x does the same he can have the same trajectory.  He gets open. He's a rz target. He just needs to catch the damn ball. Spend the offseason on the jugs machine and we'll go from there
