Not if he shows he can handle it.  I trust this coaching staff to bring him along at his speed.

The rookie wage scale and fifth year option is one of the few recent developments in the NFL that is actually pretty good and makes the game better imo.  High picks get their guaranteed money while the teams that drafted them aren't hamstrung with Sam Bradford type rookie deals.

Sam Bradford wasn't even that bad, he just couldn't stay healthy.

  It's the lazy ass Jamarcus Russell types you have to avoid.

I would love for Cam to get in, but I understand if he doesnt.

I just dont want to see them start putting every QB in like Russell Wilson, Philip Rivers, etc..

Rivers will definitely get in. He was consistently a top 5 QB for a decade or more. 
 

Russell Wilson tarnished his legacy last year, if he continues to regress I don’t think he makes it

If Cam won the SB his MVP year he would easily make it. But unfortunately he didn’t play long enough to make it easier. But he undoubtedly changed the game, set records which may not be broken for a long time, etc.

I almost spit out my coffee when he said Andy Dalton is a future HOF-er.  

Marty was just incompetent but a nice guy

Gettleman was incompetent AND a piece of sh*t human being

Except that every legit financial study conducted has found that public investment into professional athletic stadium provides a terrible ROI. 

https://better-cities.org/economic-prosperity/sports-stadium-subsidies-fair-or-foul/

Probably true if you look at it from a stadium perspective only, but what’s the ROI on having the Panthers team in Charlotte and in NC?   Hypothetically speaking if Tepper moved the team to a city that is willing to subsidize a new stadium, do you really believe there wouldn’t be a substantial  economic hit to Charlotte and the Carolinas? 
 

Sorry but city will have to contribute, there is a huge economic benefit associated with the Panthers that cannot be ignored.  However, I don't think the City should contribute more than 25-30% of the cost.  

The rest should be covered by Tepper and the state of NC.

Im glad we actually picked Bryce over Stroud.

 

I been noticing on social media Stroud is a big party guy. For a guy who praises god a lot he sure does like the celebrity party scene.

 

Bryce seems more business.

I was high on Stroud but Bryce’s work ethic is impeccable, barring any injuries, kid is on his way to greatness

This was the moment I realized he was just a conman 

At about the 5 minute mark

Rhule had very quickly, in my mind anyways, become ancient history. I've really moved on.

I could care less what that bozo has to say about us or anyone or anything and I don't think anyone outside of hardcore husker fans takes anything he says seriously and even that's going to only last a season or two.

It's a new day and a new era, my friends. Live in the now and let that frumpy clown be a distant memory. It's really not that hard.

So we talking deep playoff run his rookie year or ever?

His rookie year? I'd be surprised. I do expect playoffs this year, but that has more to do with a weak division. Conference isn't particularly strong either.

I also fully expect us to win a few more games this year than last because of better coaching, better QB play, and a soft schedule. I think that's very reasonable, reachable, and, tbh, should be the expectation for any new HC/QB combo.

It just so happens that a few more wins (3-4) will put us at a 10+ win season because (and I know this will be hard to comprehend) we weren't that bad of a team to start off with. We just needed better coaching and better QB play .

Deep playoff run is what I expect year two. Year three, we're fighting for conference champions.

And yes Bryce is going to be the guy that leads this team to all of it.

And those of you who are doubting right now will either get on board and enjoy the ride by mid season or just disappear and only show up on those rare occasions that Bryce doesn't have a spectacular game.

It will be the same poo as it was when Cam got here with these same lame ass fans who are more interested in being right about Bryce being a bad pick than enjoying the ride to the playoffs and success.

Bring hopeful and feeling good about what we're doing here and about Bryce and Reich is a choice.

So is being pessimistic about it all.

And for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would choose not to take advantage of an opportunity to feel great about what is going on here, but I get it.

Feeling pessimistic is safe. Optimism is for the bold. It's just not for everyone. But don't worry...you just go ahead and stay in bed with the covers pulled over your head and your doorsocked tight and we'll come knocking when it's safe for you to come out and enjoy the sunshine of the Young/Reich era.

Just grab your folding rocking camping chair from Walmart and come out and enjoy the BBQ and beer and the fun. Whenever you allow yourself to feel good about the team, they'll be space for you out here with us.

Top post, absolutely nailed it

Haha what a douchebag

It was a bad trade just like Sam was and just like how Teddy was a waste of money. That’s what I remember posting with other folks who didn’t like the trade. It was obvious that Teddy, Sam and Baker (and even PJ who some in here wanted to give a real chance to) would never lead us to a SB win. I wanted to tank for Trevor and have wanted a stud rookie QB with true potential since day 1 after Cam. It’s a shame that it took 3 years to finally go that direction but I’m happy with Young. Just sucks that we wasted so much cap and draft picks the past few years that we could have use to make the team around him better.

If all this pain results us to Bryce leading this team to a SB, it will have been worth it

They’re not even allowed to hit in practice anymore lol

Weird thing is I can't remember how people responded to the trade at the time. Was it mostly positive,  negative, or mixed.  

I think one thing is for sure,  no one expected him to be as bad as he was for us.

I'm just glad all this QB cycling is over. All of these dudes post cam set such a low bar Bryce could be dead average and we could make a playoff run. And he's probably going to be a lot better than that.

Heck we could've went to playoffs last year arguably, if our starting CBs were healthy.

I looked back, it was mostly mixed, just hopeful that he may somehow redeem himself. Nobody expected him to be as bad as he was, worse than even Darnold.

A year ago today, the Panthers traded for Baker Mayfield.  

Really solid mini-segment, seems to be the media narrative is changing on the Panthers. I thought the comments regarding our defense carrying the team are spot on.  Panthers segment starts at the 11 minute mark.

The supporter sections for any pro soccer/futbol match blows away any other sport in terms of fan noise and pride. I'd expect nothing less from Charlotte's supporter sections.

Not just supporter section. The whole stadium has a great vibe

Charlotte sucks.

Have you been to a Charlotte FC game? It’s a party, the opposite of the Panthers games even at half the capacity.  Whoever is running the show for Charlotte FC should be handling Panthers games
