I got poo'd like crazy for criticizing his "Cali attitude" last year lol, but yeah I agree.
-
it's poor technique because he's rattled by NFL pass rush and has zero confidence at all from all the struggles last year and now this year, it's not because he's trying to see over the line lol. Kyler is every bit as short as bryce and has never had this issue at all. he has some other issues but is generally an above average QB and not affected by his height. Baker, Brees, Wilson, other short QBs too who have not had this issue. Bryce just sucks, it's not his height. His arm strength is an absolute joke though, and in hindsight should've been a big reason to not even have him on our draft board, let alone in consideration for 1st fuging overall
-
I just flat out disagree here, I don't think his height factors in at all. Other short QBs have been significantly more successful and able to read the field while countless 6'4 QBs are just like Bryce in terms of inability to see and read the field. His height isn't the issue, it's that the super processor we were sold on is more of a UNIVAC I
-
Unpopular truth here: Bryce's struggles have NOTHING to do with his height. He can't see the field, makes terrible decisions and throws, with terrible footwork because he's a terrible NFL QB, not because he's short.
-
Yeah exactly, considering how many great players we've sold off in recent years rather than pay and with a QB on rookie contract we should be one of the few teams with $100M+ cap space. Also some more perspective. $43M in cap space. DANIEL fuging JONES is getting paid $40M/yr. Baker $33M. All of that could be gone with 1 mediocre QB in free agency, and meanwhile we still have a terrible roster all around. No we're not competing anyways so it doesn't really matter but mismanaging the cap this bad right now while we suck doesn't bode well for when we might be hoping to compete down the road. If Morgan is even still around past next year anyways, which I think is far from a guarantee with Tepper being very quick to react.
-
this has been done before and there's really nothing significant one way or the other. there is actually very little data of top 5 picks that sit for an entire year+ most are later picks. I'm personally an advocate of having QBs sit and develop like Mahomes, Rodgers, Love did for example, however I don't think that should be a blanket policy and there are so many factors it depends on. Largely, who your other QB is. Having a Smith/Favre/Rodgers bridge QB makes sitting the rook very easy. Having a Davis Mills/Case Keenum while the rook looks incredible makes it a very different decision, and obviously nobody anywhere is saying Stroud should've sat last year. Or that Cam should've sat year 1.
-
we'll see dude, but I've been optimistic like this every year under Tepper until now and it's come back to bite me every single time. I'm trying ringo, I'm trying real hard to have any amount of optimism about this team/Morgan/Canales, but in the words of Jules from Pulp Fiction, that sh*t ain't the truth.
-
What moves has he made that are objectively good so far? The guard signings seem to be fine on the field but paying that much $ to the interior OL which is quite a bit easier to get in the draft than OTs is still a questionable decision IMO. Defense is an absolute mess all around, probably the worst pass rush we've seen in team history. Our cap situation is a disaster this year and next with the roster being terrible all around. Draft was underwhelming with zero immediate contributors. Dan was a significant part of the front office that led to most of this mess and this offseason did nothing to show that we're on the path to turning it around.

Horn isn’t on IR yet
-
I’d take a conditional 7th in 2030 that becomes a 6th if he’s still in the league that year.
-
Nah he just sucks our line wasn’t even that terrible last year. Not good but not so bad that it would break an otherwise good QB
-
I don’t understand the the hate on Tepper for Bryce getting benched
t96 replied to hepcat's topic in Carolina Panthers
Tepper truly deserves all the hate he can get. He's the man in charge of this disaster of a team and unless things turn around he can be hated on for anything and everything. -
Poll: Has Bryce Played His Last Snap as a Panther?
t96 replied to Captroop's topic in Carolina Panthers
Last snap probably not. Dalton isn't exactly Mr. Durable these days. I don't think he starts another game for us though. If Dalton goes down, Bryce relieves him then a different QB starts next game(s) if an extended absence for Dalton. -
Yeah and although not at QB they've had an absurd amount of elite NFL talent come out of there.
-
This is a silly narrative. I wanted Stroud and hate Tepper as much as the next guy, and we never should've traded up at all in that draft. However, Bryce was unanimously a top prospect and by nearly all accounts if he was bigger would've been seen as a near generational prospect. This is not just a Panthers failure but a failure by pretty much all NFL scouts/media/fans/etc. that were high on him coming out of college. The biggest (only?) knock on him coming out of college was size and oddly enough that really hasn't been an issue whatsoever. I do not buy the narrative that he can't see over the line or that his issues reading the field are due to size. Kyler, Brees, Wilson, etc. have had no issues with that being similar size. The transition from college to NFL is just impossible to completely predict. He clearly isn't cut out for the NFL and it sucks but nobody was "gaslit."
-
Yes we are all rejoicing not having to watch the midget play, and yes he deserves the Eric Cartman treatment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTcGDIJPYcc But let's snap back to reality here. We were outscored by 60 (SIXTY) points in weeks 1 and 2. Average 30 point loss. Maybe Dalton helps us shave off 20 of those points, I'd consider that a huge success. Still an average 10 point loss. This team still sucks. Don't try to kill reality:
-
I don't agree it's "much better." Bryce has been absolutely god awful, but the D has also allowed the most points in the league and as bad as Bryce is there has not been a single bright spot from the offense around him. OL is yet to be seen, yes I saw the stat on pressures but it paints an incomplete picture considering Bryce panic checkdowns so quickly. I'm not sold on Canales' scheme yet either. We will know much more following Sunday's game with Dalton starting. This year's team might be better than last year, but I'm not convinced yet.
-
Maybe, we'll see. I think this would be much more likely if Dalton and Young were competing for the starting job from day 1 of the offseason (which Dalton would've won and then he could build chemistry with our new OL and receivers, of which we have many). And while I have nothing against Dalton, if we had gone into this offseason viewing Young as a guy competing for a job and not a guy being handed the job we could have a better option to go to, or start with -- a Minshew, Darnold type.
-
Hopefully somewhere else if so.
-
There was definitely a mandate from Tepper for Canales to start Young and hand him the job from day 1. I think Tepper saw enough in the first 2 games and finally said fug it do what you want. However now we're crippled because the offseason was approached with that "salvage Bryce" mandate.
-
If we could guarantee we get another team within 5 years, then yeah I’m 100% for this.
