He finished the preseason 22-of-40 passing for 187 yards, zero touchdowns, three interceptions and two fumbles. The Lions were held without a touchdown and were limited to just one field goal in 20 preseason drives with Hooker at the helm He was horrible this preseason. Add to the fact he is 27, unless DC is a true qb whisperer then this dude aint ever seeing the light of day on a nfl field. If ben johnson couldnt get him going in the right direction then I dont know what to say

yeah but he will never be a starter. at 32 he will still have really low mileage on him

Hooker starting over Dalton would solely be due to injury or potentially due to an obvious tank effort down the stretch.

See if he can be coached up on the practice squad.

I don't think most actually watch a snap of his 2024 or 2025 preseason games. There is a reason a 3rd round draft pick was jettisoned so quickly for.....Kyle Allen. He is atrocious.

There are only 3 options going into 2026 for Bryce and the panthers 1. Pick up the 5th and go from there 2.Extend him 3. Trade him and draft his replacement Year 3 is absolutely make or break for him in regards to his career with the panthers. And for the record I hope he balls out. Starting again with a rookie qb would just be a ruthless cycle and basically starting from square 1.......again

All TV media is basically that now. Idiocracy is becoming more prophetic by the day.

There is ample time during the year to dumpster dive.

Nice! We desperately need him out there. Curious if we have a tight end/RB help block the left side with Icky (presumably) out vs jacksonville

I mean, Clausen stayed but he wasn't a former top pick. Fields, Wilson, Lance, Pickett, Rosen, Haskins, etc. Not sure any top pick can really can stay once a team moves on to the next top pick. Gotta to think Bryce would be shipped off.

No way he was worse

If something happens to Bryce, we will see him before the end of the year because Dalton will run out of gas.

Or that.

DLew practiced without a red jersey today.

Bryce will be traded in that scenario.

Make one of those WRs a FB and that’s Jeff Davidson’s offense.

I saw the Panthers post some stories on instagram during training camp about a Make a Wish kid who wanted to be a quarterback. Bryce had him in the huddle with him and I legitimately had a moment where I wasn't sure who was who. Bryce really is a small person to be in the NFL.

I just don’t want some uncertain answer. Either Bryce is it or he isn’t. Nothing will be worse to go into the 2026 off-season still uncertain if he is the future. I hope the FO is smart enough to abondon ship if it looks like Bryce isn’t gonna be franchise material after this season. As I said before,”This is his last chance.”

Oh lord, I'm having flashbacks...

https://www.panthers.com/news/american-airlines-named-an-official-airline-partner-of-the-carolina-panthers-and-charlotte-fc-providing-fans-with-exclusive-travel-benefits-and-experiences I mean, the marketing writes itself to call this partnership a "Touchdown" but the Panthers don't know much about those anymore. Thank you, thank you. I'll be here sometimes.

Not if you use two tight end sets

Hooker is exactly what I thought he would be... trash lol. Dude is 28 and it's the start of his third NFL season.

I really hope we don't use the TE position as a huge tell on the coming play. Having a receiving TE and a blocking TE is good in theory but it's a huge liability if it becomes a big time tell on the upcoming play.

Thank you for keeping us informed

If we pick in the top 10 because the offense didn't perform you are right. And I would be all for it. I was advocating bringing in one this year to provide competition. Bryce is still got to show an upward projection from where he was last year. I was thrilled and shocked by his improvement but let's be real the floor after the first 2 games was the basement not even the ground floor. It had to improve. Maybe Hooker can be that guy if Bryce struggles. I Iiked him coming out of college
