DeAngelo Beason

Yeah I think they're going to lock him down. Nothing crazy. Short term $3m/yr deal or so tops.

I think many are expecting a huge contract but he's not there yet. I'm thinking 2 years $8m, or he may (wisely) go for a 1 yr deal around $3m so he can earn a monster deal.

I don't see this roster as being flawed at all. I think this is a roster that has been built to bail out a terrible QB and it can only do so much. It's time to put an actual professional behind center. We will quickly see that this is a terrific roster ready to win big, and win now.

To whom it may concern, I'm the one who gave him the bottom vote. He's THE liability on this team. With a competent QB that has moderate physical tools we are competing for a championship. This roster, as I've said for a while, is very well assembled and ready to compete right now. It is hamstrung by the QB.

Fortunately for us we don't have many guys here that'll break the bank. Coker will get a decent little contract though.

It seems that way now but honestly who knows? It's really a non-conversation. There's no point in speculating at how good anyone will be next year.

Canales needs the opportunity to bring in his own DC. Evero is not good.

This is the problem with Bryce Young. We all see him have a very pedestrian performance and somehow think it's special. That was a very, very average game. There was absolutely nothing special about it. It is a testament to how ungodly awful he is that when he goes out and has a middle-of-the-road performance that we view it as being spectacular. The dude had 35 seconds and 3 timeouts to go 30 lousy yards and completely imploded. He's absolutely terrible.

Coker and TMac are basically equals as #1s. I like XL but he and Bryce aren't on the same page at all. The pass to the end zone Bryce threw that was flat as hell and gave XL absolutely no chance to run under is a prime example. I just don't know what it is, but every ball he throws in XL's direction is absolutely terrible.

I wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion that he misses next season. He may still be rehabbing for the first half of the season or so though.

Dude does seem like he's running on ice sometimes.

I doubt he will start. He's almost certainly there for depth right now.

Does it count if it's my wife's first home game?

I'll be there with my wife, who has never been to a sporting event of any kind, ever. Hopefully the fans can be crazy enough to make her question the mental stability of all of us who are present.

I think there are better coordinators out there, but I'd say he did enough to keep his job.

As badly as I cannot stand Bryce Young, I will always want a Panthers victory in a game as meaningful as this. If we are in the middle of a tank season then I definitely advocate for losses, but if there is meaningful football to be played, I'm pulling for wins.

Bryce Young doesn't have the ball placement to operate within McDaniel's offense.

This is the right decision for now. I still believe XL can be a very good receiver for this team, but he needs a QB with better ball placement. He doesn't have the hands to make the circus catches that are required to bail Bryce Young out.

Line Brown up on the backup every single play dammit.

Spot on.

They were just so scrappy. Before that season I was a fan of the team. After that season I was an absolute maniac and never looked back. They created an entire generation of die hard Carolina Panthers fans.

I've stood up for Dave quite a bit and believe he has potential, but if Harbaugh is open to coming here then it's a no brainer. You hire him. I think the Ravens are absolutely delusional. Harbaugh is one of the best coaches of all time in my opinion.

Sadly, it makes sense to pick the option up. That does NOT mean we shouldn't bring in competitors.

Either that, or the author is just laughably ignorant as to the gravity of the achievement of getting 1k yards with Bryce Young as your QB.

I am assuming you're agreeing with me. If you read the comment I was replying to the point I was making is that Bryce is possibly the worst "long term" QB a team has ever had. Most other garbage QBs have been canned long before they were allowed to drag a franchise down this badly.
