Not a big drop off. Rest up and get healthy for next year.

FWIW, TMac needs the following to set rookie team records for a Panthers rookie WR: 9 receptions, 86 receiving yards, 3 TD's

I mean, I know we all love Coker but outslandish demands based on?

No, we still have to do our part on offense.

I think they also really do believe.

Yeah, if we are able to get to Darnold, he will 100% wilt. It's who he is. If it isn't pass rushing, it has to be forcing TO's. He is a tenth the QB that Purdy is and we were able to goad him into a ton of INT's.

The defense is the worry, both theirs and ours. Can't let their running game get going or we will be in a tough spot. Also have to take care of the ball and control the pace on offense.

I think it's a lot of yes men and group think.

He is been very, very, VERY good as a rookie. Not a complete player but he seems to have something we haven't had in a drafted WR in a long time is excellent worth ethic and drive to succeed.

I think they view Dalton as a trusted mentor at this point. It's all about building an environment arouns Bryce.

This is the ideal situation even if Bryce sticks around. At least an attempt at an overall QB room upgrade. I don't think it's fear, I think from coaching staff to owner they are genuinely true believers.

Dalton is under contract for 2026. I would prepare yourself for business as usual in that QB room.

I think it depends on if you can quietly shop him around and gauge value. If you can find another Dallas deal, move him. If not, you try to upgrade the position through free agency and/or draft and just push him down the roster for another season to potentially develop. If that doesn't happen, cut him after 2026.

Yeah, it will be viewed as a hedge and when Bryce continues to struggle it will create a tough spot in the media and stadium for him.

100% this. If he ends up reinjuring this, remember how stupid this move was. There is no reason to pretend we are a SB contender. Do the best you can do with what you have and get Hunt ready and 100% for next season.

This draft will be thick with good #2 QB's to gamble on. Drew Allar, Nussemeier, etc. This is genuinely a good draft to take a shot at a good #2. We will not, however.

Jackson has been up and down this season in limited snaps but we need guys like him to perform well. Getting solid contributions from later round picks is how you really ramp up your roster building. I have been a little miffed with him so far, he was one of my favorite draft picks.

Keep being one of the most "special" guys in here.

Yeah, if the Raiders were halfway decent, I think he probably is easily the leader for OROTY. TMac is on pace for 73 rec for 1047 yds and 8 TD's. So he would tie the rookie receptions record, set the rookie yardage record and be one behind the leader for rookie TD's for a WR in Panthers franchise history.

I mean, keep telling people XL is a bust. It's literally based almost solely on watching so many bust WR's right here in Carolina alone. TBH, to date he has been one of the worst we have ever had. Not based even on production or abilities, he just doesn't seem to know what he is doing so often in a game. Or give effort often enough. It's really unbelievable. I honestly don't see how you justify giving him a roster spot in 2026.

Could be signs of a stroke, otherwise.

I'll load them in a minute.

I mean, listen, that franchise has 20+ years of favorable calls. fug em.

All ya'll complaining about bad calls, sit your ass down. That was wild.

I mean....that MFer got mugged. WTF
