That would have been crazy and it's hard to believe that they didn't consider it. They just liked XL that much more most likely

Some of us already knew bryces only leverage was the fact that he was a rookie and the first pick last year. Once the new crop of qbs came in he would quickly become a afterthought and all the media hype and support would disappear especially since he had a bad season. It wasn't hard to forsee. Nobody on that list has more of a uphill battle than he does and who even knows how much that's actually gonna be worth.

Everyday it becomes more painfully clearly the Panthers got bamboozled.

Agreed.

The main roster guys dealt with that all last season.

I would hope nobody ever gets injured, more specifically i dont want Bryce to get injured because that just prolongs the evaluation or just another excuse why he will be the unquestioned starter when he comes back. I want him to get an opportunity to show undeniably that he is not the guy or he is the guy so that it can be a smooth transition to move away from him when the time comes.

The guy that threw that pass is a tryout for a reason.

A Qb actually throwing a ball with a tight spiral and velocity.

Oh I agree, I'm irritated that all of sudden these media folks now want to tell the truth on bryce and Cj. I am someone thats convinced that the FO made the pick off heavy media influence. Greg Cosell just did a interview with the roar and he pretty much peeled bryce back.

A lot of these vets dont want to deal with the grind of everything a full season brings. They would rather wait and sign to a team that could really use the help.

I think he is competition for Young, the problem is THE STAFF didnt make him competition for Young. We barely saw anything from Dalton from camp threw pre season. They made Dalton the starter after the draft very briefly then all of a sudden we hear Bryce had won the job and it was very weird. The whole process last year was just off along with Tepper telling bryce all the way back to the superbowl we were gonna draft him. Bryce doesnt even visit with any other teams nor does he participate in combine and then there was the whole fiasco with the weight. It was just a lot of coasting all last year around bryce.

Not giving Bryce any competition is just really outstanding to me, for all the talk about how other players on a roster need to be pushed/jobs taken i dont see how a QB is exempt. I dont care where you are drafted. It also installs a comfortability factor in a player that's not needed. Never make a player feel like they dont need to earn anything, its not always good thing.

Crazy that rarely happened.

Such a great mentality to have.

I get screwing over other teams as win, but for me it will be a true win once the picks actually work out.

They are still going strong on Panthers twitter, although im starting to see a lot of those fans are on the younger side compared to here.

23 and 24 will always be popular numbers associated with greatness.

I think its frustrating that Bryce technically never had a good game against any team in the division.

I was on here last year before the season started saying Lawrence was overrated and i got called a troll. lol

Exactly. And outside of Cam and steve smith thats typically been panther football.

Bryce has to show a lot but as i just said in the other thread it looks like we are shaping up to be a pound the rock team so dont know how much of a positive that is in bryces evaluation. He will be ask to make plays when needed rather than carry us on offense. There is good and bad to that for me because i really want to see how much you can really put on his back right away. The elite QBs almost never have everything perfect around them so its easier to see that they are elite. All the new weapons will help bryce but can also take him out the equation.

We are definitely trying to be a pound the rock team. The flipside to that is the QB will pretty much be more of a game manager.

Exactly. THis is why i cringe when i hear people say Bryce didnt ask for this situation or people should feel sorry for him. He did everything possible to put himself in this situation. We were sold he was the guy to overcome anything.

Bryce Young was always an outlier to be a success in the NFL and this was already known..the concerns were there. So it shouldnt be surprising to some people that its talks of moving on already after this year if he struggles, the concerns cant be improved on or fixed. Bryce has to show himself he can overcome them.
