The irony is the vast majority of this board are long-suffering Panthers fans. It is inherent in the nature of it being a message board. We are a prehistoric relic of glory days past. The new fans are all on Reddit, discord, and all that other poo.

Again, it’s not about that single play. Me saying that defines his era is reflective of 2.5 years of work. Yes, Zavala played a big part in that failure of a play, but as the commentators mentioned, Bryce also has to get tf back as soon as he snaps it. He has always had more issues operating from under center as well. That all ties in to the fact that for over 2.5 years, he has these inexplicable plays that you never see happen anywhere else. I’ve been on this Earth four decades and watching or playing football for three of them, and I do not recall ever seeing that happen before. Have I seen someone fumble the snap on 4th? Yes. Have I seen someone try to escape pressure after getting the snap and falling over or flailing around until they were sacked? Sure. Throw a pick? Yes. Fumble after getting the snap? Yes. Lots of bad things can and have happened. Not even getting out from under the center, falling on your back, then looking like you can’t figure out how to get up until you’re touched down? Never. So even when other players are involved in the fug ups since Bryce has been the QB, the point is, it’s some intangible quality that is present with him at QB. Things happen that shouldn’t happen. Inexplicable fug ups are the norm. And again, I fully considered we had 3+ mins and the defense was playing well when I posted it. I even believed that with the way Bryce was playing outside of the 4th down flubs, that it was likely we could win… and I am ecstatic we won. But again, the point of this thread is the play was representative of a much bigger and persistent problem. Look how great we felt after getting over .500 and then had a gimme win at home against a fuging 1-8 team. Bryce comes out and doesn’t even show up while getting outplayed by several magnitudes against a 27 year old 2nd round pick in his second start. That is fuging inexplicable and should never fuging happen. Brian St. Pierre would’ve looked like fuging Joe Montana in that scenario. Dameyune Craig would’ve looked like Mahomes. But it was like Bryce didn’t even show up. That’s where this thread comes from. As good as winning today feels, do I trust him to come back out and do it again next week, or ever again? Absolutely not. And that’s the problem.

We just need him to see every team as Atlanta/Henry Winkler. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, Canales, is just that simple.

I was gonna say the same thing in the game thread. It’s ridiculous. And every team we have faced just move their #1s around and go after Mike all day.

I knew we still had time to come back when I posted it, Scot. I have no regrets. The point remains whether we win or not. He has the most embarrassing mistakes and fails I’ve ever seen by a Panthers QB. And not only for our franchise, you can watch an entire season worth of other teams’ games and not once see a QB do the inexplicably bad things Bryce does in games. Falling over in a 4th down and making no effort to make some kind of play? Throwing it away on 4th and goals. Fumbling on basic tackles where the defender didn’t even go for the ball. It happens far too often to count. And again, today, that game was way more of a nail biter than it needed to be because of the mistakes he made. Our TEAM had to overcome plays such as that 4th down. And the 4th down where they trusted Bryce to run a bootleg more than they trusted the RB to gain 1 yard and Bryce, of course, failed and slung down like a child. The defense bailed him out, because technically, he didn’t turn the ball over, but those two turnovers on 4th downs are turnovers. Thankfully, Atlanta sucks. Again, credit to Bryce for making the plays he did when he did, but those moments and games are aberrations, not the norms . But I am ecstatic we won.

Keep Pounding, brother.

2.5+ years of limpdick quarterbacking. Let’s revisit your post hoc gloating next time he has another Saints performance. Where were you last week?

Thread still stands. Props to Bryce for the plays he made when he made them today, but that game shouldn’t have even been that close. And respect for gutting it out, but:

I’ve posted for years that Tommy is a fuging ball player, he just needs the looks. He is a fuging dawg!!!

And Fitz. fuging ballers.

I don’t like going into fuging goal line and playing for the FG.

Boooooa, Rico has earned his damn check today. poo is rough.

TAWMY fuging TREMBLEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I fuging love that guy!

We’ve gotta have a tell on runs.

Again, really wish we hadn’t injured Penix.

Each team gets a possession now. Since college started doing it, a lot of teams elect to kickoff first. If you stop them and kick a FG you win:

Yeah, I was just thinking afterwards, he had some really good plays today. But it’s the bad ones… a true franchise QB would’ve had 4 TDs before that last one to Tet. The plays have been there… like you said, the number of times he just balls up and eats a sack or is completely oblivious on 4th down plays, or free plays from penalties is unreal. The number of 4th down plays he’s just threw the ball away or ate a sack, I’ve never seen so many mistakes by a single player in my life. So even in the games where he makes a few great plays, the bad ones still end up outweighing it. If he converts that 4th down instead of falling and laying there, this is a very different looking game. We could’ve milked the clock and been methodical. Instead we’re forced to do the spectacular.

Why do we have Cherelus out there still when we know with 99% certainty they are gonna pass?

Really wish we hadn’t injured Penix earlier.

Good poo. But now we need the two pt conversion wnd the defense to hold. They’re gonna go after Cherelus.

This is gonna be super disappointing.

See what I mean? Canales and Bryce are ass in the goal to go.

Yeah, but Bryce in the goal to go? Ehhhh

I don’t think you can overrule that.

If I had confidence in Bryce to score in the red zone, I would prefer for them to rule Rico out so we can eat some clock bc I don’t trust the defense to hold Cousins out of FG range.
