I think they think he can get a little better and be a mid level starter. If it was me, I would have picked up an actual backup before last season and benched Bryce for good after the first Saints game.

I wouldn't have picked up the option, to me he's that replaceable. I think the Panthers are taking a more cautious strategy, not ready to move on yet but also holding off on committing to him until the last possible time. Basically, he's a competent NFL QB. He's bottom third in the league. That's actually not a terrible thing. You can win some with a bottom third QB. If over time he takes a few steps forward he might be a median level QB. I think those are the kinds of steps that Canales is talking about. If you've truly got a median level QB, it's probably worth keeping him as opposed to roll on the dice in the draft. But just to be super clear, I don't think he is capable of taking those steps, and I think we should and will move on after the season

I mean, they're not idiots. Bryce isn't a very good QB, so of course they don't think he's a very good QB.

If we felt like Ioane could be in an elite center than I have absolutely zero problem drafting him at 19.

Unfortunately I like Pickett the least out of those three.

As much as I dislike Bryce, no. Too many needs elsewhere and it looks like this dumb team is going to ride Bryce for another year. I've been saying I would like to take a QB in a mid-round, but now I'm thinking maybe a 6 or 7th rounder plus a free agent is the right approach, then go big next year.

Like everybody else who watched the playoffs, I think Bain is a beast. He was just about unstoppable. But I didn't watch Miami much throughout the season. Just going off of stats he was somewhat quiet, just two sacks in the first eight games. I'm sure he had an impact in other ways, but did he just turn it on in the big games late in the season?

The character issue was out there and I remember Pearce and others around him saying it was completely made up and unfair. Even made me wonder. Well it obviously was true, guy has probably been a problem all along. This guy just cost every other player with alleged character issues, even if small or false, an absolute ton of money.

We've seen who he is. I hope he throws for 4k and 30td as much as anyone else. But there is zero reason to believe that will happen at this point.

Doesn't have to be a big reset, the rest of the team is getting better, just need to plug in a decent QB.

I don't know most of those players but positionally I like that. I want to take a QB somewhere rounds 3-5 and would consider one in the second though.

In order of preference, LB, OT, Edge in the first and any of those plus DT, TE, CB, Safety, IOL in the second. That enough options to not reach.

The hard reality is we have to assume Ickey is done and act accordingly. I do think there is a chance he comes back and plays at the same level but it's under 50 percent, maybe well under. So you assume he's done and if he isn't then that's a great bonus.

Cutting Dalton and bringing in one or preferably two guys to complete has to be on this list.

The sooner we make a longer term deal with him, the better it will be. He's obviously already performed better than 99% of players with similar contracts.
