I enjoyed this game. Lots of bright spots. Let's go over them.

THE GOOD

Cam : He looks amazing out there. 422 yards 2 tds and a pick. He made a few bad throws but most of the time he was smart, accurate, and probably most importantly poised. He certainly didn't look like a rookie QB two months under a new system. Sure, we lost, but unlike last year when Pickles was under center, we saw almost nothing but positives.

He porbably won't have nearly as an impressive showing next week or maybe even the week after, but my god, we have hope, Panthers.

Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson: Did you see those two today? My god they were disruptive.Especially Hardy. Each had a sack and each did good against the run. We can have one of the best DE tandems by years end.

Smitty: Thirty-what? Lost step? Couldn't tell it. Dude was in fullon beast mode, 8 catches for 178 and both of our two passing TDs. He was fired up and when he's fire up the team's fired up. He has to be a big part of our season this year.

THE BAD

The Run game: We only had 74 rushing yards total. This is something we have to get fixed. We put a lot on Newton today and he did very well, but we have to get that going.

Also, on that note, Stewart looked a lot better than Williams (thought not much). Williams just looked like he didn't have it today.

The Oline: What the hell, guys? They just couldn't get anything going on the blitz pickups today. A lot more magic could've happened today if they just did their jobs right. Not to mention the false starts and holding calls.

THE UGLY

Penalties: 10 penalties for 74 yards. We need to play with a lot more discipline.

Blitzes: 14 points came off of big plays due to blitzing. With our CB/DB situation we can't afford to have blitzes go as wrong as they did.

Ugly - Half the ST unit running by Peterson, thinking he called for a fair catch.

Also stop blaming McDermott, our D played okay.

I had more to type but I got lazy.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
