Feel awful for the guy. Seems like he has a lot of talent too. We won't have a choice but to bring in another back in the offseason.

Yeah I agree. Stewart was a top 5 RB talent that fell to us. Deangelo was also a top 5 RB talent . I appreciate Chubba. He’s played his ass off. And I think his build is actually a huge reason to why he stays so healthy. But both D Will and Stew were premier RB talents on the same roster. They were clearly some of the best players in the game in their time. I can’t say the same of Chubba but he fits our identity and who we want to be .

Right but Bryce had a seasons worth of subpar play. He’s it figuring out . Where as Kyle had the advantage of being an unknown.

Kyle Allen has the reverse story though. Looked good for 3 games and then got destroyed when tape was out on him.

Fingers crossed it’s not drastic. He was a great change up to Hubbard.

Cam was a god amongst men. His physical attributes were able to cheat a lot of things wrong with the roster. Bryce is a different type of player but we have a better coach and smarter FO than Cam ever had and they will design a team around the QB this time.

He doesn’t have freak arm talent. But he has freak touch and timing with his throws. He’s also a good scrambler. He’s easily displayed the best ball a QB has shown with a Panthers jersey since Cam. He’s at least as good as Delhomme was. I will stand on business on that.

You are right on the money. This is a good team brewing.

That’s too far man. He’s overall been a good selection. A rookie season doesn’t define a career.

I think Sanders and XL will pan out. This is valuable experience they are getting . Brooks might have made a difference in the game if he didn’t get hurt. I’m hoping he didn’t tear anything but it doesn’t look good.

His WRs were wide ass open. Bryce was making high pressure tight window throws all game with multiple 3rd and 4th down conversions. You can’t ask Hurts to do the same thing. When he couldn’t run away he was stumped and took sacks.

We’re 1 fumble, 1 WR drop, and one horseshit call away from 3-0 the last three weeks and in the driver seat for the division. This team is not healthy and is asking a lot of its rookies. We’re missing the best NT in the game. The way we’re playing right now is winning football with a healthy roster. We should be super stoked for what’s to come.

Theilen definitely needs to hang around. Unfair to call Sanders and XL busts. They’re rooks man. We’re asking a lot of them right now. For rookies they’re doing pretty well.

Looks at Hurts passing stats. You’re not considering the context of who he has to work with and his 3rd and 4th down conversions. Sustained drives are a measure of success not air yards.

He was really great. Happy to see him turn the corner. Tepper deserves a little love too. He was right about the guy.

Man I’ve disagreed with your takes a lot over the years. Especially about Steve Smith when he was still here but you always had level headed takes. That said it is obvious from your commentary on the forum that you are wanting and expecting Bryce to fail. You gotta own up to the fact that he’s playing his ass off right now. And I say that as a Stroud guy. He is playing well in spite of WR and RB let downs, and the refs rigging the games with horseshit calls. So what if we had some delay of games. Canales is a first year head coach who’s learning. Had you flipped a coin the last 3 weeks we would have beated KC and Tampa. I know that being a Panthers fan sucks and is basically an acceptance of emotional abuse but it is okay to be positive about this team.

We’re a good team. Our record doesn’t show it because of the injuries we’ve sustained but Bryce is playing great ball. We just need the pieces around him to turn the corner. I count the KC and Tampa games as dubs because we outplayed them all game. Same story today, we’re outplaying teams in-spite of a lack of key talent in certain areas. Dare I say it but I think we’re actually the best team in the NFC South right now. I expect a sweep of the Falcons and a W vs the Buccaneers. This team with another decent draft and FA, combined with Derrick Browns return will be very very dangerous.

I hope part of our draft philosophy going forward is stacking our mid round picks with interior lineman.

Bryce looks really damn good. The amount of tight window throws he’s making with our back up WRs out there is crazy. Hes being asked to do a lot and he’s sustaining drives somehow some way. Our QB has arrived. The problem is our defense is depleted and we need a #1 WR. And on top of that our best weapons in Coker and Sanders aren’t playing.

He cost us the game for sure but he is a rookie. Let’s not forget that theoretically we should have Dionte Johnson out there. One more round of FA and decent draft and we are competing next year.

Bryce played his absolute ass off. That was a game winning performance. He has proven himself as the franchise at this point. Eddy P and Legette are the reason we lost today.

Did anyone see the ball hit the ground ?

Did Legette actually drop that ball? I didn’t see the ball hit the ground

That was a TD

Here comes a Hurts bullshit run
