Speechless I did not expect that especially after was clear that he was playing hurt he could not plant his right foot. how he was able to throw is beyond me.

I don't disagree

I know it’s dumb to even dream about the playoffs at this time but here it is Playoff chances go from 27% to just 8% with a loss against the Falcons.

Lol not happening

Agreed need a proven commodity as a bridge QB and bring in one of these young guys to compete.

I don’t know that he’s telling us anything if he’s emphasizing get the ball out within 2.7 seconds and turnovers that’s going to inherently cause play calling to be conservative. No I guess it’s possible that if he has Baker Mayfield or Josh Allen back there, it wouldn’t be so concerned about getting the ball out quickly.

Is it possible to let vertical routes develop in 2.7 seconds?

It’s a brilliant strategy that few teams have the courage to so. Imagine if we thought this way and drafted Lamar Jackson let sit behind Cam for a couple years. Coming out of 2017 there were already signs that Cam’s arm wasn’t the same.

Will Levis intrigues me

Anyone worth trading a low pick for? Trey Lance - he is young and needs reps. Looked good in preseason Justin Fields - showed flashes, maybe the QB whisperer can help him find himself as a passer

Good God that’s horrible. I would only kick the tires on Zach Wilson.

Any time Panthers are looking to draft or sign a QB, the crop is at its worst. There’s literally nobody worth drafting in the first round in 2026, and free agents are slim pickings. Maybe Russell Wilson who is officially washed up or Mac Joned who has a noodle arm. Tepper curse strikes again

There were rumors that Smitty was considering retirement after the 2010 season. It was that bad

I agree you can’t fire him right now if you’re Tepper but it’s clear to me that he’s not the long-term answer unless he starts changing how he is treating and coddling players

Come on bro don’t make me defend Bryce again. The field looked a thousand miles long with Clausen at QB

His positivity schtick is getting old, Dan should have looked for a dawg in his head coach, not a damn therapist

This isn’t even mediocrity sadly. I would have been fine with a respectable performance that allows your players to make the play. He is the weakest link on the offense.

No way we can’t have these excuses about QB play. Talent is evident no matter what. Only thing that varies is the statistics. XL is just an athlete, not a football player

I have already said I am out on Bryce so let’s not even bring him up here. I think XL sucks even if he were to have Mahomes throwing to him. This rep alone is enough to see he doesn’t have what it takes to be a regular starter in the NFL. At least try to make the catch you idiot

The part that bothers me about him isn’t even the height it is the fact that apparently he doesn’t have an arm to reliably keep a defense honest with deep passing or to put enough velocity on the ball in short to either immediate passing to so into tight windows Last year somebody did an analysis showing that Bryce‘s arm just has not been the same since his shoulder injury in 2022. I just don’t understand how a casual fan can notice something like that but pro scouts Are fooled

I would love for somebody to do an all 22 and analyze if the receivers were even attempting to run vertical routes and they’re not getting separation or that schematically Dave has abandoned the vertical passing game. It makes no sense to be a run first team and not have a threat of play action deep passes

Rivera would’ve at less dropped a few F bombs on these coddles mf’ers. He was no softie

I never thought I would miss Ron Rivera

This isn’t the flex you think it is.

Haha if @Zodand others can leave so can I
