AA A month into the season and Mendoza is already climbing boards. This guy has him QB1 going to the Browns in the draft. McShay has him tied for QB3. Before the season he was nowhere near the top 5 QBs.

We could have gone 17-0, but how did that go?

What you can't rank is accuracy and dude is super accurate. Now, can he go through progressions? That remains to be seen.

No, but most of know this win is the exception rather than the rule. Yes, winning feels awesome and I know the team really needed that 'W', but if things go the way most think, that feeling will be experienced only a few times this year.

Dude is in an official Panthers video. What else is he going to say?

B-I-N-G-O! The entire team need to be near flawless to enable Bryce to play out front and with a full playbook at his disposal, leaning heavily on a grinding rushing attack. This is NOT a sustainable model. It's good enough for a handful of wins a season. After nearly a decade of futility, being slightly better than the bottom dwellers of the league is not cutting it for me. Perpetually selecting 6-10 in the draft doesn't give me tons of optimism.

My fear is Bryce plays just well enough to keep QB out of the equation in the first round. With so many underclassmen, it's difficult to predict how deep this QB class will be. There's definitely talent. It won't be as stacked as 2024 (which I advocated we wait for...sigh) but it sure as heck won't be 2025 or worse, 2022.

I'm happy for them. It's been a long time coming.

So what you are saying is we are in trouble if we face a team that plays coverage and does not send extra players regularly.

Yeah, a franchise QB that shows up a handful games a season is both encouraging and exciting!

Good morning! Very rare indeed.

Don't be so sure. This is the Panthers under David Tepper...doubling, even tripling down on dumb decisions is our calling card.

We are usually trailing, that was my point. I guess most average NFL QBs can play 'not to lose' when out front with a lead and the defense pitching a shutout.

Yup, he's a perfect game manager if we can jump out to a sizable lead early. Today proved that. In a dog fight or trailing? I don't think he's the guy to pull it out routinely.
