If the Jets and Browns are at the top of the board, expect A LOT of QBs to return to school. Yes, they have that kind of option nowadays with NIL. I think the only seniors (that potentially could be 1st rounders) are Allar, Beck and Klubnick. All the rest of the top prospects are underclassmen.

I've been on Panthers MBs since '96. Yes, I was on the first incarnation of the Huddle. This is the last one that I know of that exists which has any real traffic to speak of.

Yes, it can absolutely be broken down by round. The lower the round drafted and higher the criteria met, the more success that draft pick is.

@TheBigKat offered not to long ago and got shot down by Zod. I think he'd rather let this place die a slow death than sale it. As much as the Huddle is a shell of it's former glory, it is still his 'baby' and he probably can't stand the thought of someone else having it.

Team success as starting QB criteria: winning record seasons/playoff appearances/playoff wins Career completion percentage: >57, 58-60, 61-63, 64-66, <67 TD/Int ratio: >1:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1+

Completion percentage and TD:Int ratio should be applied across the board regardless of draft position. There shouldn't be grading on a curve of actual stats depending on round drafted. 50% completion is a$$ no matter what round a QB was taken. You could argue the inverse, that would make a bigger bust for say a first round QB.

All criteria has to be based off of personal accomplishments?

Biggest difference being those guys you mentioned left trash teams/situations that allowed them to flourish under better circumstances. Tepper doesn't realize this is one of the trash organizations that holds QBs back. If Young materializes into anything other than what he is now, it will be on a different team. I agree, if Tepper has final say on the 5th-year option, Young gets it because Dave is not willing to admit defeat on the comedy of errors that led to us drafting Bryce. Dave's ego is more important than the future of this franchise. We all know that by this point in his ownership tenure.

I know it's rare, especially for QBs, but I think Canales and Morgan know he's not the QB1 to take this team to the next level. Don't be shocked if they decline the 5th-year option. Moreover, if one or both are gone, the odds increase tremendously as a new coach and/or GM have zero emotional ties to Bryce.

I's still down for kicking the tires on Trey Lance.

So we cut him if we don't give him the option? I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

Bryce is getting a year four, whether he gets the 5th -year option or not. Don't bank on drafting a first round QB.

It could be a strong class, but most of the underclassmen are likely go back to school because with NIL the need for a quick payday by going pro is greatly reduced. Several teams picking ahead of us need QBs too.

He still has a year on his contract and as does Bryce. I have a feeling these two will still be your QB1 and QB2 going into 2026. This is why I can't get excited about this team...among many other things.

You had hope for this season? Not being the worst team in the NFL? I was hoping for that too.

Yep, Dalton sucked, but the point stands that a backup forced into the main lineup and failing pretty bad in their first substantial action of the year as fans call for their jobs is pure overreaction.

While all what you said is true, this is Bryce Young we are talking about and what little Bryce wants, little Bryce gets. He wanted his wooby back so he can feel safe and secure.

Lol at cutting the backup QB after not coming and lighting up a SB caliber team.

Dalton is washed, but I don't think he's as bad as his performance yesterday. The reason they re-signed him is because he and Bryce have a good relationship, Andy knows his role is as the backup and he's not notably better than Young. In other words, he's a mentor who's not gunning for Young's starting spot even when Bryce himself has azz games or stretches of games.

It's definition of insanity, seeing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. This is the David Tepper Panthers and until he sales the team or completely changes how he runs things, this is the product we get year after year.

The entire team sucked in all three phases. You don't need to watch the game to see that.

Our entire QB room is azz. Why single out one of them? Honestly Mike White might be the best one of them all and he was just signed off the street.

The combined record of teams we've beaten: 9-21. Some of y'all get fooled so easily.

Re-signing a bad QB because our backup up is even worse would be the stupidest rationale for giving out a new contract. Dalton gets another week to shield little man from good competition.

Operation Scapegoat was a overwhelming success! Bryce's ankle will experience a setback this week or heal slower than expected...just wait. He'll be completely healed and full go for the Saints game in Charlotte the week after.
