Yea. They blew that one mainly because, like I’ve said, Bryce just ain’t it. They better not extend him. The defense did what a young but talented defense does, played inconsistently in the 4th quarter. The good thing is that I see vast improvement from the team as a whole and I think Canales is a really good coach with a bright future. They need a couple of ‘dudes’ on defense…edge rusher and a linebacker or 2 and an offensive lineman. They can do ok with Bryce until a really good qb comes available because this years draft if not qb rich.
They have a ton of draft capital due to some strategic trades that hurt them short term but set them up nicely for the future IF they draft the right guys. I think the future is not so bleak for the panthers, even with Tepper at the helm. If he’ll keep his grubby little fingers out of it and let Morgan handle personnel I think they will be good dinner tether than later. They still have the division of they can just take care of business at home with Tampa and Seattle.
Just glad no one blew out an ACL…looks like half the league blew one out yesterday. All big names too
