Will be interesting to see if the Panthers opt to make any moves with him in the off-season.
This does continue a weird trend where Can doesn't have surgery for a while and then finally does end up having the surgery and maybe should have done from the get go (I believe that is what happened with his shoulder IIRC).
Might make him more appetizing to a new team if they see he did something about it.Quote:

Yup. 3-9 Falcons are just crushing right now. This game is not even competitive.Quote:

I'm not sure what's up with Kuechley this year, but he's getting burned a lot on the run. I heard speculation that the switch from 4-3 to 3-4 was supposed to free him up to be a rover, but losing Poe and another Defensive Lineman turned the D line into a sieve and he can only plug one hole. However, I've never seen him get pushed around like he has this year. Does that mean he's lost a step, or is it indicative of the people around him?Quote:

At least they'll make some coin that day for the franchise. Prolly 2 million rental for the week, and a few mill more on concessions and merch.
They waited one time on the shoulder and the other time they did it right away.Quote:

Interim coach Perry Fewell said Monday the quarterback situation will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, but that right now the team is sticking with Kyle Allen this week against the Seattle Seahawks because he give the team the best chance to win.
But is that what it's really about? Shouldn't the Panthers be finding out what they have in Grier, who hasn't taken a regular-season snap from center?

I think it is much more likely that Allen is the future of the franchise than Grier is at this point (hint, neither is the future).Quote:

i.e. Steelers current QB situation ...Quote:

Just reflecting on what the Panthers can accomplish after Tepper pleads with the fans that his billions aren’t enough to field a competitive team and ask for more tax breaks and incentives.
Well Peyton wasn't in his prime, but he still went on to win the Superbowl with the Broncos. (Over the Panthers, in a total gift of a game from the officials.)Quote:

Is it? I'm not excited about Grier at all. Might as well roll with Allen for now.Quote:
