Have long maintained that Young cannot be a franchise QB. While I still believe that long-term, guy deserves credit for some winning plays today in less than ideal conditions. Canales is among a handful of coaches (especially Vrabel and Johnson) who've seemingly worked magic this season. Canales having done the most with the least.

These are BIG “IF’s” and not putting the cart before the horses: but “IF” the Panthers win tomorrow and next week at home against the Bucs; they will have won the division!!
Who would have thought they would be this close to that - this soon.
crazy how some things have happened for them.
finally enjoy watching them again with enthusiasm.

4th and less than half a yard. Hubbard stuffed. Young is likely the only QB in the NFL, starting or otherwise, that you cannot count on gaining <2 feet via the sneak. Panthers cannot make this guy a $50m/year QB.

The game was lost on the 4th down call. I don't care how small Bryce is that's a QB sneak all day. If you watched the replays the center and guards bulldozed the middle of the Saints line for an easy "fall forward" yard plus gain.

Straight from the horse's mouth (politely): the Panthers are handicapped wrt QB sneak.

"A lot of teams would go for a QB sneak on fourth-and-inches in enemy territory. But the Panthers have yet to try that during Young’s three-year career in Carolina.

According to Canales, the decision to not use Young on QB sneaks is about physics.

'He goes about 190 pounds,” Canales said with a shoulder shrug. “And when you have a 220, 230-pound quarterback leaning on a center, that’s an advantage. When you’re not putting a bunch of force that way, I don’t see that as an advantage.'"

Regardless if we make the playoffs or not; Evero needs to be fired.
His defense leaves 10 to 15 yards cushions.
I can’t stand it

I think the Panthers will need to beat the Bucs the last week to win the division and make the playoffs.

I believe so too.
they have been upsetting teams all season that they really should have lost to.
but, I just can’t see them beating the Seahawks.

Just think, if they could have beaten NO just ONCE they would have it wrapped up by now.
