I really enjoy the QB School, and I'm always glad when he uploads a new Bryce video. I think he's even handed, and he actually probably more than any other person has talked me down from the "Bryce is a Bust" ledge. Because he does a very good job illustrating and articulating how impossible Bryce's situation is on every play. As someone who never played the sport at any level, it's verging on too technical for me, but he's a nice middle ground between the very superficial annotated highlight videos, and the really detailed analysis that I just frankly can't keep up with. As for the Thielen bashing, he's fair, and frankly Ickey got dogged on lot worse than Adam did in that video.

I didn't see 1 second of this game. Please tell me this isn't the monkey paw type deal I need to agree to in order for us to win.

I didn't watch. That's why we won. You're welcome

Our CB #1 is made of glass that's been soaking in dry ice. I kindly agree that Donte is at an extremely valuable intersection of performance and affordability for a rebuilding team. We can neither afford to get worse, nor more expensive in the secondary.

Decline or not, Adams is a certifiable #1. And could be for 2 to 3 more years. I have absolutely no objection for giving Bryce a genuine receiving threat. Then we can try to find or develop a new WR 1. But this whole, "Bryce has no weapons, and he's not producing, oh well, lol," plan doesn't seem sustainable.

Just goes to show how truly rare someone like Cam was. Someone who could play the way he did for as long as he did. I don't know that we'll ever see his like again. ...and we got no trophies to show for his time here.

Patently untrue

Let's win one. Then we can talk about winning out.

Wilkes is definitely the best coach we've had under Tepper's watch. But it was the right move to move on from Wilkes. He's not a regime builder. Wilkes did not have the roots in the league to pull in talented coordinators, assistants and position coaches. For the entirety of his tenure as HC, he would have been able to attract McAdoo level talent at best. We wouldn't have Evero. We wouldn't have Brown. And considering both of them are quality HC candidates for us, we owe Reich for bringing them into our organization. But if Wilkes was head coach material, he'd be a head coach now.

No one wants to read a fluff piece when the team is winless. I don't know if the account was useless, but I like sending the message to the Panthers organization that they can't spoon feed us re-heated bullshit.

The refs should be rightly ashamed for actually flagging that flop. He literally dropped to his knee, like "Dude, you okay?" Weak.

I think it's why we're doing well. Chuba, Franklin, Tremble, Mays. It's addition by subtraction

Please continue to prove me wrong. I'll eat an entire damn crow raw if this is for real. Beak feet and all

What the fug is going on?

As much as I hate to give up more draft capital... I really wouldn't hate that deal. Make it our 2026 2nd and I like it.

FTFY

I want to believe we can win this one. Because it's exactly the kind of stupid thing we would do; manage to beat a genuine world-beater team, and get my hopes up a little just to it makes it more painful when we go back to sucking. If we can establish the run, and they can't just send the house after Bryce every play, that might be just the random element that turns this into a trap game. I want to believe it, but really it reminds me of a time back in '04 when I asked my boss if the Panthers had a chance against the Eagles, and he said, "One. The Eagles don't show up."

I'd like to see us trade for some talent to surround Bryce with. Positive Spin: If he's our QB, I'd like to bolster his confidence by giving him a reliable target. Pragmatic Spin: I want to know how much his receivers not getting open/not getting separation has to do with how poorly he's performing. Again, I want to get to "bust" as fast as possible so we can move on, and consequently, I want to get out of this season with as few question marks as possible. If he's not him, we need to know so we can move on rather than sinking more into propping him up.

All this... ...but also Micah Parsons.

These cats clearly haven't seen another McDaniel presser. "What am I supposed to say in this situation?" has literally never crossed that man's mind.

Yeah, the faces in the background are the stuff of nightmares. It's like the Going Under music video back there.

Skye Moore and Tutu Atwell are likely to start tumbling down their depth charts, and both would be huge improvements to our WR corps.

Yup. Mostert owners seeing CAR on the schedule this week are like:

Bryce damn well better show out against Houston.
