See I don't mind the black/black at home but I like saving it for certain games. I like the traditional Black/Silver for most. The Black/White needs to go away and never return. 

Really prefer the White/White away set. The White/Black just doesn't look right no matter how much they wear it. I actually like the White/Blue better than the White/Black. 

I've honestly never cared for the Blue uniforms at all in any combination. Although, the blue on white with white socks is way better than the blue on silver with black socks from back in the day. 

Yeah I've always found this frustrating too. 

The correct opinion

The truth is Brees made Payton look great and without him he was just an average coach. I’d be lying if I didn’t say my hate for Sean Payton is probably skewing my judgement as well. 

I think average is underselling him by a significant amount.  He’s a good coach who was elevated to great coach with a great QB.  No coach can win without a good QB.

The Saints post Brees were a lot better with Payton than they are now.  Russell Wilson looked better with Payton than he did the season before.  He’s just washed.

Bo Nix definitely has an edge because he will have a good coach.  It’s hard to say if he just lit up the PAC 12 but people said similar things about Burrow leaving Ohio state and having a one year wonder season.  I will say that even though his stats were spectacular last year.  They were also good the year prior.  Oregon threw the ball a ton last year.  He had more completions than he had attempts in most other seasons.

I’m not saying Bryce shouldn’t be last.  But the hype on Will Levis is getting out of hand.  He has the frame and a big arm, but he had 8 TDs in 9 games, where 4 of those came in 1 game.  He’s still got to put it together.

Kicker is the one position we consistently get right.  If we could find every other position like we find kickers, we'd have a dynasty.

They should bring that podium with them next time they're scouting QBs.

The owner removing himself from day to day operations is basically the only hope this franchise has. If he does not, we are sunk.

Its like that movie The Butterfly Effect where every possible action he takes results in some catastrophic future.

I'm guessing he got that from Fitterer or Frank. Fitterer had scouted the qb's for a couple of years prior. If you go back and follow the bread crumbs the past 2 years Fitterer was going to trade up all along. He sold it to Tepper and had to convince Frank to go along. From there you know the rest.

I think it was Fitterer.  He thought Bryce would be our Russell Wilson and him and Tepper sold each other on it.  The coaches were overruled.

But I thought no QB had ever been drafted to such a perfect situation people are severely overestimating what he has around him.

Well that and its still the Chicago Bears

Wasn’t Bryce praised as some vet type super player during all the camp work?   

Cam Newton struggled…until real football had to be played.  Then smashed the record books out the gate.  Ron couldn’t find the work to gift him the job over Clausen.  Think a run vs the Bengals is what Ron used as the reasoning (I mean it was good).  But Cam struggled until that week 1 game. 

You never know….

That was one of my favorite moments in Panthers history.  I expected Cam to play pretty bad but he was incredible.  It was unbelievable what he was doing and that he was our Quarterback now.  Man.

Hey when you get a ring you are allowed to let it go...Well times that by 3.

Its the Shaq offseason program.  Get fat and do nothing until the season starts.  Worked for him.

The only problem I have with it is this. Human judgements and human mistakes are what give life to sports. We all may have a more accurate game thanks to this, but I'd venture to guess we'll have a less enjoyable sport because of this.

I’d see your point if you weren’t talking about the NFL.  There’s plenty of human mistakes left to give life to the game without a chain gang.  Best believe the Chiefs are getting that PI or illegal contact call on the last drive of the game.

Did you watch the roast? No charisma at all from Brady

Its like Wayne Gretzky being a coach or Michael Jordan being an owner.  The greats usually aren't great at much else.

If Bryce put on a little more muscle, that’s good.  But he survived last year even though he took a beating.  And I don’t think doing curls is going to make anyone throw a ball better.  His velocity problems stem from his poor base, due to a combination of bad protection and bad footwork.  When he lets it rip from a proper base, the velocity is there.  He just needs to throw from that base all of the time.

Yep. Because the team will be stuck in mediocrity with an average QB - nevermind that would be 5 more wins in his sophomore season. Can't make this stuff up. 

People will be mad unless we win the Super Bowl

If we win 7 games there will not be a soul on here complaining about that.  If they do then they are troll accounts

Really?  I think people will be outraged that we didn’t get a higher draft pick but missed the playoffs.  There’s a lot of 7 win seasons to back this up lol.

Pretty sure it's just a quirky angle where his bicep is turned over...

Because when you look at his other arm in the same picture.  It's very much a standard Bryce arm. 

No he’s just put 100% of his resources into his right arm because he doesn’t throw with his left.

He’s gonna stay healthy, post a 90 overall PFF score and get a 200 million dollar contract from the Rams

I get why some want a change, but I don't think Rod is the problem.  I wish the Panthers were run as well as the Canes.

This will be the one game Burns shows up.

yeah for example the Green Bay & San Fransico model of drafting your young Qb 2 to 3 years prior to starting for the established vet has been a successful philosophy to follow in years past ... 

Montana...Young

Favre...Rodgers

maybe yeah just maybe

Cousins...Penix

makes sense...just saying

Its not a bad idea but they shouldn't have taken a guy that will be 28 by the time he plays.

NFL 2K - 2005 I think was the peak for me as well, never could get into Madden after that.  In fact, I stopped playing Madden in protest due to the monopoly 

I still play 2k5 from time to time on a Xbox emulator today.  Still fun.

i think we are basing far too much of bryce's assessment on a situation that didn't work out in his favor at all. it was probably the worst situation a rookie QB could have found himself in. the only i can think of who had it worse was David Carr, who had an even worse rookie season than Bryce by a significant margin statistically. 

i think most would realize that carr was probably a better QB than his record would show, but he was shell shocked in his first few years because they did nothing to try to help him out. 3 of his 5 years in houston he led the league in sacks. i don't think he would ever have been an elite QB, but had he been in a better situation he probably would have had a better and longer career.

I don't really buy into the David Carr was a good QB until he got drafted by Houston storyline.  So its kind of an apt comparison.  The reality is he was really slow to make decisions with the ball.  He didn't read the field well.  His line exacerbated the situation by being terrible, but he just wasn't very good.  When he came to Carolina, he didn't have that Sam Darnold panic and throw the ball disease.  That's what I would expect from someone who's "shell shocked".  Not being really slow at reading the field and making the right throws.

Some guys just don't have it at the NFL level.  Best of luck to Bryce but history is not on our side here.

When your starting QB is ranked outside of the top 32 and people say he’s overrated.  Just Panther things.
