No, they weren't blown coverages. They were man coverages vs a defense playing 4th and short......and Dave took big gambles and they paid off.

That is a tall order.

It rarely happens. It never happens for the Panthers. We need to get at least 4 contributors from every draft to turn this team around.

Thats a valid argument. I cant tell whet they are gonna do and they prob dont really know yet either. Ultimately they do need someone to play QB and I think the 5th gives them a little more time to figure out who that person is. If the upcoming draft class was loaded with QBs i'd prob feel different. Good news is they have a while before hey have to decide on the 5th. I think May 1st is the deadline?

That was some pure NFL crack that no other sport can reproduce, it was beautiful to watch. Gosh, that whole game was pretty beautiful to be honest. Fantastic product that just happened to have my favorite team in the thick of it and winning.

I can't wait for the Carolina Panthers YouTube video that has the crowd noise coming through in those moments.

I don’t know the density of the 2026 draft class either but this last one was a rare draft, how many teams ever get those results? If we could get three out of the next one I’d consider it a big win.

Could actually hear Keep Pounding chants through my tv yesterday, it was beautiful

None of the touchdown pasess yesterday came from blown coverages. I’m not sure you know what blown coverage is. We’re so used to seeing our WR’s create no kind of separation that we think any space they create is blown coverage.

Congratulations are extended to Derrick Broown for playing one heck of a game.

LMAO. You told people to quit lying and are billing these as great Bryce Young games? The Bryce blur in full effect. You can't sell a stat sheet when everyone here watched the game. He was not great vs the Cardinals 2024 (Hubbard was great) He was not great vs the Cardinals in 2025 (He was horrific and lost the game by half, and the Cards gave him checkdowns to bleed clock) Dolphins and Cowboys - Rico was great. All time franchise history great. He was not great vs the Rams. Two really dumb and risky plays by Dave on 4th down worked out great but everyone watching that game saw a team hid the QB for 98% of the game. I mean, credit to Bryce for making them. He did. But it was not a game where the eyeball test says that was great QB performance. Good Panther performance. He has 2 great games vs the Falcons. One pretty good one vs the Packers last year when they had people from the concessions stand playing in the secondary if memory serves.

The refs were definitely not going to call anything against the Rams yesterday. They tried hard to help them but certainly weren't going to hurt them.

That 5 yard delay of game penalty was the only one the Rams got, which was truely unbelieveable and makes one wonder.

I think our success will depend on how deep this draft is for contributors. The last draft was loaded so Dan had more to choose from. I have not looked into this draft other than the qb's. Its going to largely depend on the choices available where we pick.

Blood and Guts was miles better

Yeah, I suppose if he was at 250+, 3+ TD's and 4-0 it wouldn't make much sense to NOT pick up the 4th. I am in the camp of not really being concerned about the "WELL IF HE LEAVES HE WILL BE GREAT ELSEWHERE" scenarios. I just don't see that being the case. Hey, I am happy to be right(I was an OG Byrce stan), then to be wrong(I am completely off the Bryce bandwagon) and then find out I was right in the first place. It would be much better for him to just suddenly figure it out and be an NFL QB. I just don't think that is going to be the case. At best, he seems like he may slowly be developing into a middling #2 QB. That's not a good return on a #1 overall draft pick.

Probably not

My son said the crowd was going insane yesterday.

Yeah we are eating off of this draft. It will be a lot harder to repeat this as the roster improves. We had a lot of holes and I think that is why some of these guys are contributing. But it is exactly what we needed when we needed it.

Some of you are too infatuated with passing yards. It might be a shock to you, but you don’t need to throw for 200 yards or more to have a good game. 200 yards is not some magical cut off point - you have to look at the entire picture. He was very efficient in those games. Some would rather have Bryce throw for 330 yards and have 3 tds with 2 picks than an efficient 199 yards 3 tds, no picks and a win.

He would need to average at least 250 passing 3 tds and record 4 wins for me to want them to pick up that option. Of course I know if we don't he will somehow turn into a Brees/Mahomes combo next year and put up 5k and 40 tds lol

Anish (already standing) gushes Jake jumps around and celebrates Luke? He raises a fist, but keeps the calm, stone cold "professional assassin" demeanor we often saw him wear when he played This may be the best radio team we've ever had.

Leave the gun, take the Canales. Maybe, Coach Perv

IMO, I wouldn't ink that 5th year option unless he DOES ball out these last few games. I won't be furious if it does happen but I do think it will be a mistake when it's looked at in hindsight. I just think you have to crack the top 25 starting QB's in the NFL to even be considered for that 5th year option. Does it set up the franchise for a tough financial decision a year earlier if he balls out in 2026? Yes. But would that situation differ if it was a tough 2026 on the 4th year and a baller 2027 on the 5th? Ultimately, the body of work has conclusively and without almost any question shown he is not a franchise QB. It's generally unwise to consider massively expensive and long term commitments if that isn't the case. Otherwise you end up in the Trevor Lawrence scenario. It's going to be a very interesting last 4 games and an even more interesting offseason on the Bryce front. I really don't have a read on what direction they plan to go. I have suspicions but not an actual read.

It's December and we've still got a chance, for a change.. enjoy every minute of it, hope it keeps going..
