Yep, Bryce is gonna be the starter next year like it or not. I do hope they allow a vet to push him in camp though. Whether that's Dalton or a guy like Minshew or Brissett. It's gonna be hard to install a new tougher mentality if you're treating one of your players with kid gloves.

I'd love to have him onboard in some type of role. The whole new staff is talking about instilling a tougher mentality. Who better to help with that than TD? The man literally has the scars to prove it. The ACLs, playing in the SB with his whole forearm stapled up from literally breaking his arm two weeks prior. Tougher than nails.

Yeah. We've banned plenty of folks who showed up just to rub Stroud in people's faces. Plenty of folks over the years who just showed up to talk about Cam. If you show up with a trolling, baiting username and av and come to hammer one talking point over and over again you won't last long. That's always been the case. The only difference this time is that we let it go on a lot longer than we generally do and honestly it was just out of laziness. It's like... oh wait, this is that guy with the trolling username and av. Why is he still here? Okay, bye.

More often than not it comes down to $$$. If the contracts on the table are similar them other factors like quality of the team, location, relationships with coaches, etc. comes into play. But usually players go to the team that's offering the most money just like most people searching for a job tend to take the best offer they can get.

I'm specifically talking about his username and av. We generally ban those obviously baiting types right off the bat before they get cooking. We obviously allow a variety of opinions on Bryce and our other players.

And that's fine. They can have their opinions. When we suck people bitch and moan. We've sucked for a long time now so there's a lot of bitching and moaning. We haven't really changed how we moderate this place the fanbase is just fuging pissed off and I get it.

BTW, this is exactly why we usually smoke the obviously baiting new users right out of the gate and it's why I'm pretty much the only mod that will even have these discussions. I think people deserve explanations whether they're gonna like them or not.

So why bother? This isn't reddit. We're not trying to be reddit. If reddit suits them better, great. Glad they found a place they like.

Trust me when I tell you that I don't care.

You can talk about practically anything you want in the TB. That's the whole purpose of it.

Yep. Debone it and quarter it in the field. It's four trips.

https://www.vox.com/2019/11/19/20963757/what-is-ok-boomer-meme-about-meaning-gen-z-millennials Stuff like this is fine on the Huddle. In the TB. If you want to actually discuss it do it there.

Guys like Brady and Brees are perfect examples of great QBs with actual NFL average arms. You don't necessarily have to have a cannon but those guy's arms are significantly better than Bryce's.

Not where I go. My attitude is if I see another person I failed.

Most of the "we just want positivity" folks quickly became the most toxic posters on the board after Bryce had a decent game and we beat Stroud and Houston. Just like I said they would.

There's nothing to be proud about with "picking a side". Everyone is wrong on occasion. These folks who still think Bryce's arm isn't a limitation and point to college highlights and draft evaluations to "prove" their point have picked a side. Are you proud of them? I'm proud of the folks who see new information and are willing to change their minds to fit the new information. Hell, if Bryce shows up next year slinging darts I'll be happy as hell. It wouldn't mean his arm wasn't trash his rookie season but it'll mean he put in strong work and improved it.

I honestly think he thought he'd arrived. He let the positive press go to his head. I was concerned in the preseason when he was laughing and yucking it up in sideline interviews after being treated like a speed bump on the field. The whole organization had that vibe. Oh, this doesn't matter it's just preseason. You just wait until the games actually count them we'll show 'em something. Well, we're still waiting to see it. I really hope the new crew gets on their ass and lights a fire under them. Y'all got EVERYTHING to prove. You were the worst team in the league last year. You have the worst overall combined record in the league over the last several years. The rest of the league sees you as a doormat and it's up to you to change that.

Should've just banned him immediately like we usually do. It's my bad. When folks like that show up we just smoke them right out of the gate. I honestly don't know why we didn't this time. As soon as I saw the username and av I chuckled and said "yeah, that guy's getting banned". I guess I just assumed one of the other mods would do it. That's lazy and my fault.

We've always banned folks who show up with politically overt usernames, avatars, and/or obviously driving a single posting agenda from the get go. He checked every box. The error we made was not banning him straight out of the gate. I'll take the blame for that.

All I'm saying here is that all the "Bryce can make all the NFL throws" folks have to resort to college highlights, draft analysis, and sheer denial of his rookie season while the folks who say that Bryce's arm is a significant limitation in the NFL simply point to his actual NFL play like

Imagine talking about someone else being deeply invested in being the smartest person in the room in the process of typing out that mess of try hard word salad. lol

Ah... the Huddle mythical WR1 which basically just means if you aren't arguable the best WR in the league at the time you're a #2 at best.

Believe in him all you want. Just don't try to gas light people that his arm strength isn't a serious limitation. It's delusional.

The only way we can win with Bryce is try to hide the QB position. Sucks, but it is what it is. We gotta start moving the offense more toward what Bryce might be able to work with. Quicker WRs that can get open fast and create YAC. Try to find a redzone TE weapon. Improve the OL talent. If Bryce doesn't look significantly better next year you gotta move on. With that said, I fully expect to be talking about '25 QB prospects before the leaves change in the fall.

The overall team has nothing to do with Bryce's ability to throw the football. It's subpar. His velocity is subpar. His ability to drive the ball down the field is subpar. His deep ball accuracy is straight up bad. His short to mid-range accuracy is average. You can keep saying all the stuff about being braindead blah, blah, blah but reality is reality. You are trying to ignore this year and look back at college play (while not understanding what you're watching) and pretending that talking head draft evaluations are factual instead of opinion. My opinion on Bryce was just that too - opinion. It's just that after 16 NFL games my opinion looks more valid than all those talking heads'. I'm just baffled how the Panthers got duped so hard. Honestly, we should've just banned you right out of the gate when you showed up with a political username, political av, and a single posting agenda. It was fun but I think I'll just go ahead and correct that mistake now.
