    We all have the list of FA QB's for 2025; it's not very good. We are also likely not in a position to grab a QB high in the upcoming draft and/or Canales may not think any of them are really his guy. In that case, one really needs to get the most value of what's already here. We have BY under contract for two more years. Dalton is going to be an additional cost to keep. There has to be enough about Dalton to justify keeping him around in some capacity. 

    I would not be surprised if they di not take a qb in the 2nd round in the upcoming draft if it falls like many think it will. It just depends on how desperate the teams picking at the top get. This offseason will answer a lot of questions to what the team will be forced to do in the draft.

    A lot of this is gamesmanship. Of course Canales is going to keep his opponent guessing, even though it may not matter that much.

    The Dalton comment tells me there's an open question on whether he's worth re-signing. Frankly, the best role he can serve given his age is to play within himself and not commit major mistakes. In other words, keep the seat warm until we eventually find a better guy. Even in that Raiders game, he got really lucky with some passes not being picked. Then his play was hurting us to the point in which Canales didn't immediately throw him back in last Sunday. 

    For all we know, Canales wants to see if BY could at least be good enough that we don't need Dalton back as a backup anymore. Then bring in his own guy.

    I'm leaning more to your observations. To be honest they are down to seeing if either one of them can at least be a backup next season. What they do for a starter is I would like to know.

    Yeah I know, Canales is done with young and I dont see any realistic scenario where he is our starter week one next year.  All I am saying is that without a qb that can win games on this roster it really doesnt matter how well the other players are playing because you simply cannot win consistently without a qb in the nfl

    No $hit. We've been here before. But you don't stop adding good players because you are saving up for a qb. There's not a generational qb in this draft to sell out for and this team isn't and wasn't ready to do that. But they still need to add rookie talent everywhere, including qb. They cannot afford to not go bpa in the next few drafts regardless of position. They still need to continue fighting for every win regardless of how meaningless some of the folks think they are. It may be several years before a long-term answer is found for qb.

    I want young to play probowl level or fail miserably.  I do not want him to play just good enough to make the panthers decide to ride with him for a while or even extend him.  Pretty much daniel jones is a prime example of what happens when the qb plays just good enough to think he is the solution.

    How do you propose to change that? Or should I say stop Tepper from allowing that to happen?

    In the grand scheme of things he kinda is

    That would be true if he is part of the grand scheme. What makes you think that because he's playing they think he is the future? Everyone sees what we see, including the team. The team knows that they need a long term answer and will try to improve it in the offseason.

    Honestly, I'm not a fan of paying RBs but this isn't a bad deal. I'm not sure how this fits with Brooks coming in. Maybe Dan Morgan is trying to replicate the old 'Double Trouble' days?

    It wouldn't look so bad if they didn't already have an overpaid Miles Sanders taking up $6M per on the roster.

    I don't get the outrage over what round pick we got. He is a UFA in 10 games and was squabbling with the org here. Not a value enhancement.

    I do get the irritation over us paying him to play elsewhere, that is not an isolated guy, he is added to a growing list.

    Apparently we had to pay someone to take him. That says more to me than anything else.
