Hater implies improper bias. Which isn’t the case with those critical of Bryce. They should just be called the ones who are right about Bryce.

We lose when Rico isn’t the offense and the QB isn’t largely a spectator. Simple as that. Dalton and Bryce are no different in reality

Only because early that ball went through a defenders hands and into TMacs. That route got jumped. That really should have been a INT or at worst incomplete. Stat sheet will show it as one of his best throws though

refs gave them a 5th down to do it

Trade him and he is still probably a top 10 cap hit for us next year then you got the issue of Rico looking good….and having lots of options elsewhere after this year. then your RB room is Etienne. I don’t even count Brooks at this point given the back to back ACLs

Bruh, that’s clear cut bottom of the pack. How you going to spin that as middle of the back lol

Hubbard comes w/ contract baggage. Teams would want the really good RB, with no baggage, that Canales isn't running.

not sure there is such a thing as good return for a RB. It's just too easy to find runners for teams to give up a lot.

Baker found his way to Carolina and had him playing DE in practice. Obviously a different staff. But the biggest issue in Carolina has been the brain trust trio of our owners, GM, coaches. and there is PLENTY of evidence that his current trio, is mindboggling bad at basics. I do not believe in Hooker but I won't judge him and use Canales' decision-making as a reason not to believe in him.

Name a QB as bad as Bryce who had their 5th picked up? You certainly can name better ones who didn't have it picked up.

I refuse to judge Hooker because the coach who couldn’t figure out the C position coming into the season or the Rico situation in season…..opted not to play him over a guy that shouldn’t of even been rostered coming into this season. Because that implies we have sound decision makers. Which we don’t.

He is terrible on the scale of NFL QBs…..but what about the Panther scale. And on that scale, PJ Walker likely is better than everyone rostered right now lol

Dalton is old with a messed up hand. Same injury let Bryce sneak back in after they moved on from him last year. Unlike other injured players, Dalton wasn’t on the sideline all day using the injured hand

Eyeball test never aligns with that they say about an “injured” Bryce. Find a limp or a day where he was off his feet either year. for whatever reason they shelved him for a week. Plenty of QBs this season alone have played on grade 1 sprains and looked worse than Bryce. They are good though

Dalton reportedly got injured on the opening possession vs the Bills. Thumb on throwing hand.

Dalton injured his thumb on the first series vs the Bills reportedly. Which basically means he most likely injured his throwing hand on the 3rd snap of the game/first called pass.

Why not? Our starting QB logs similar outings all the time.

high ankle sprains generally keep you out for multiple weeks. Bryce is the oddity, not JJ.

2023 and 2025 "injuries" looked like clear choices by the coaching staff simply not to play Bryce for the week under the defense of "injury". Both times Panthers have had him up on his injury the entire time he was hurt with no signs of it being anything outside of standard wear and tear. Everyone is banged up. Why? Who knows.

What the the odds they basically just take the script from the last 2 weeks and reverse it? That Rico just gets trotted out first and it's still just a committee. Because when Rico went wild the carries were 23 vs 4 and 30 vs 4. I do not believe Dave Canales is going to take essentially his offensive captain/leader in Hubbard and essentially bench him pending Rico isn't just gassed and asks to come out.

When folks predicted a 6 win season for him…..the wins were early in the schedule and exactly here we got them. So where they came doesn’t hold crazy weight describe the Panthers offense in one word to for the collective 6 games Rico Dowdle didn’t start and have anomaly production in……anything that isn’t a adjective for bad would by lying. we have gotten the doors blown off off us by every actual good team. also you can win less games one season to another and actually be getting better and vice versa. The eyeball test says Canales isn’t getting better. Technically our D is better this year but that is more a default given we were historically bad last year

Renfrow is really a 1 of 1 on the roster. He isn't a natural fit for Dave's O or Bryce (given Bryce can't stand tall in the pocket and slice up folks with quick hitters). Renfrow wanted to stay home and prove he could comeback. He did it. From a fit standpoint, Renfrow probably could be pretty dang solid somewhere....but he has zero interest in leaving the area again. He doesn't look washed at all to me. He looks like a horrible fit. But I think he just really wanted to scratch the itch in his backyard one last time.

On paper. And not just Evans. You can go to Seattle too. Him not panning out doesn’t mean the narrative and how he projected didn’t fit at draft time. I only endorsed drafting XL if we were moving on from Bryce Young soon and said at the time XL would stink until we officially moved on from Bryce. They don’t fit the same offense. If you were going to stick with Bryce, Ladd made more sense. But Ladd also doesnt fit what Dave does

XL fit the Canales tree of what you want in a WR David Tepper isn't out there making all these moves.

Yep, a washed Dalton and Bryce are the same tier QB. But yeah, Andy had a day that Bryce routinely has. 2 Rico games really distorted things for some
