Really they could pick up 2 new QBs. Draft a dude and get a veteran to replace Dalton. I'd literally keep 3 QBs on the active roster next year and let the best man win the QB competition in the off season. That's what I, ME, would do. I don't expect the Panthers to do that though, they probably feel a lot stronger about Bryce than the general fanbase does. Because they're so invested into him they desperately want him to succeed.

I understand your sentiment but I'm just trying to put myself in the minds of the Panthers organization and not the mind of a fan. They've been so starved for wins and success. Do you think they will just let him play out his 4th year with no extension and no contract if we make a playoff run? I know that isn't likely I guess, because inconsistency has been the norm. I think it's less of a debate for extending him, and more of a thought exercise about whether or not they pick up his 5th year option or not. I think that's pretty likely unless he completely falls off a cliff and finishes the season with a long losing streak and several back breaking turnovers.

There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant.

Yea man, we need to see how he does for the rest of the season. But this game was a huge statement game from him in terms of the argument to keep him. If Bryce has a couple more statement games (I count the last ATL game and this Rams game as "statement" games), let's say vs the Buccaneers once and the Seachickens once, and we win the division?? He's getting a new contract sooner rather than later. If he plays like dog poo for the rest of the year and we lose the remainder of our games?? He might not get a 5th year option exercised and you may see him just straight up play out his 4th year and a VERY hard decision will be made in 2026 The most likely path? Bryce has a few bad games , 1 or 2 more good games. We barely miss out on winning the division. He gets his 5th year option picked up, but doesn't get an extension. I think that's where we are headed.

Don't want to spoil the mood on a win, but I'm looking ahead at the rest of our schedule and have some thoughts. I see we are on a bye next weekend. And we play at New Orleans on Sunday December 14th. We've seen this team get up for huge games but lose the next game when they were smelling themselves. I think we are really going to learn if this team has turned a corner if we beat the Saints in the next game. Big wins like today are important I know, but this Saints game is underrated in importance. Winning in New Orleans in 2 weeks would put us at 8 wins, putting us only 1 more win away from guaranteeing a winning season with 9 wins. A win vs the Saints would keep us in contention for the NFC South division. And would represent only the 2nd time all season long we've won multiple games in a row ( the only other time we did that was weeks 5-8 with wins vs Dolphins, vs Cowboys, and the at the Jets). A loss would just be a repetition of the cycle. We have been going W-L-W-L-W-L since the win vs Jets and the loss to Buffalo. And I really hope they can break the whiplash cycle. If any of you watched Rico's last interview after our loss against the 49ers last week, it just about sums it up. Cleary we can see this team has greatness inside of them somewhere. I just hope it can show up more consistently down the last stretch of the season!! At the very least, we know we can beat just about any team but we can also lose to anyone lol

This is a crazy stat here

that is the real answer, both of them are solid. Jonathon Brooks was a game breaker in college but god knows what he has left now after the 2 acl injuries. Etienne has looked decent.

That's a hot take man. Rico literally sparked our season back alive again when Chubba went down. I admit he hasn't been running as well the past few games. But that's why you have 2 good RBs. You run the guy that has the hot hand, in that particular game. That's what Canales did today. Rico actually still had a solid day overall with yards from scrimmage. We had 30 something runs vs 19 passes. That made the Rams respect the run and probably played a huge roll in us being able to score enough points to win this game. Chubba got 17 carries and Rico got 16 carries. Chubba had 124 yards from scrimmage with a TD and Rico still had 74 yards from scrimage with 0 TDs. 74 yards is pretty important in a close game, that sideline catch for a 1st down was a key play he had.

this would be the one day JSN rolls his ankle and doesn't score a TD if you had my luck with player props lol. I'm praying for you dude

You guys add way too many legs and variables to your bets. Just bet one or two games on who wins or loses. Those multi leg props will fug you 99 times out of 100

Trying to use logic on betting on NFL games will get you into trouble dude. That's the one thing I've learned. The biggest bets I've won ($100 for $2,000 in 2024 and $100 for $600 today for Panthers win vs Rams), were all mostly concentrated on Panthers winning or performing well. Every bet I've tried to make logically has gone down in flames. You might as well just randomly pick some fun bets on your team when they aren't expected to win. It's more fun that way. If you put thousands on betting on the Panthers to win vs Green Bay or the Rams this year, you probably ran away with a bank heist this year Betting on favorites is boring and frustrating to be honest. It usually doesn't work well and if it does the profit margin isn't worth it unless you're betting ridiculous sums of $

One of the things about this game that really impressed me, was Canales' flexiblity with the run game. He saw Rico getting stuffed and then ADAPTED and started giving Chubba more carries. In game. That is a huge step up from his alternating drives bullshit he did earlier in the season. And he didn't give up on the run after Rico got stuffed a couple of times, he still got 18 touches and had 74 total yards from scrimmage. Chubba got 17 carries, Rico got 16 carries. We had 19 passes in this game vs 35 runs in the game. And of those 19 passes, Bryce threw 3 TDs with 0 Ints. That is literally the perfect ideal game script for the Panthers to win. Bryce playing cleanly and efficiently by us leaning hard on the run game for the most part. And we won the turnover battle 3 Rams turnovers vs 0 Panthers turnovers. This might be a game I will go and re watch multiple times in the off season. Easily our most impressive performance of the season

That was the best game I've watched in quite some time.

I almost bet 500 instead of 100 but I was scared lol. Still worth it.

What a fuging game by the Carolina Panthers. Bryce Young. Derrick Brown. Mike Jack. Jalen Coker. Chubba and Rico. Everyone gets the game Ball. Pouring Rain. Who the fug cares. What a fuging WIN. Extra bonus I won a bet I put on the Panthers at halftime lol

WE WON. COKER .

Now they are going to play conservative which makes me insanely nervous

Hell of a game by him. He had a crucial batted pass that led to an INT earlier as well

If we win this game I'm going to run outside and scream my head off

There's the turnover we needed. This should be a Panthers win if we don't do anything stupid here.

I hate this defense. Just let them score so we can get the ball back.

We are getting 0 pressure on Stafford in crunch time. That is a huge HUGE problem.

either that or get a turnover. We aren't stopping them yardage wise.

fug this defense

Someone on defense has to step up and make a huge play on this drive.
