tbf, ed dickson was considered a breakout candidate for the past few seasons. there's reason to believe he was worthy of low contract. I don't think anyone in the Panthers organization thought "THIS IS IT THIS IS OUR GUY." 

 

This is more on the Observer. 

 

The Panthers did the same thing last year with a massive bust former first round pick, who people on here are imagining did way more for the team than he actually did. 

 

And as far as surrounding him with talent, they spent their first round draft pick on a receiver. Their receivers are better this year than they were last year. So....yeah. 

 

Not sure what you all are whining about here.

Bottom line is he wants to come back and we want him to be here.

There is no reason a deal should not get done.

Until a deal is done, people will wonder why a deal isn't done.   And once a deal is done, people will move on to complaining that he's not living up to his deal.  It's a no-win. 

 

Dickson was worth a try.  I don't mind that.  Could they have done more with his 'weapons'?  I don't know.  He's got two really good guys, and if guys like Dickson, Cotchery are behind that pair, great.  You need roleplayers.  That Dickson didn't do a lot with his, what, 20 targets?  That's not the problem.  The line is.

Dickson was a cheap no risk deal, why the fcuking bitachen? Ricky the great WR coach was bragging on him, he's on a min one year deal. Id like to bring him back at that, cause the panthers are going to need around 15 players and only have around 14 million in cap space. So brace yourself you cry babies the panthers are going to need about 6-10 cheap players like dickson to field a 53 man roster.

Take away complaining and the interwebz would die.....except for shopping... women be shopping...... and bitchen too

The fact that Gettleman went into this season with our OT situation the way it is was careless at best. You can't have Mike Shula in the OC box with a pathetic offensive line. Nate Chandler and Byron Bell as starters was and is inexcusable, period.

Our WR core may be a LITTLE bit better than last years but don't make it sound like it's head and shoulders better because it isn't. In fact I almost put them neck and neck. Outside of Kelvin who else has done anything? And some of kelvins numbers are the result of garbage time plays he made. Also we have the worst oline in the league. The oline is the most important unit in football and we have the absolute worst. So yes there is a logical reason for fans to bitch about the talent surrounding our qb. Name a young or old franchise caliber qb that has a worse suppourting cast than Newton. You can't.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Just to be clear: I'm not "downplaying" the talent around Bryce... I'm qualifying it. There's a big difference between saying, "we finally have building blocks that we're actually developing" and "we've done enough to say this is a finished product, NO EXCUSES!" It's possible to believe that the 2023 situation was bad and to believe that the current state, while improved, is still incomplete. That's not inconsistency; that's nuance. As for the footwork stuff, again, I've seen the same clips as others. The claim that Bryce is hopping to see over the line just isn't one I've seen corroborated by analysts or tape breakdown. "Both feet off of the ground to throw" happens a ton for QBs (ex: Mahomes, Rodgers, Purdy, etc.), especially when improvising. You're right that there were some encouraging flashes from Bryce last season, and it's nice to finally hear that after so much time was spent pretending otherwise. I'm not arguing that Bryce is elite, I'm just asking that we evaluate him using consistent, measurable criteria to determine his status as a top-10 QB... whether it's via 3rd down %, red zone efficiency, turnover-worthy plays, or yes, big-time throws (which, by the way, has been a valid part of QB evaluation across the league for years even if it wasn't used here during Kyle Allen or Teddy Bridgewater's years. For reference: Allen had 20 BTT at a 3.9% rate. Teddy had 17 BTT at 3.3%). Like you, I'm hoping to see a competent, entertaining offense this season. That's a baseline we can all root for, even if we don't have the same baseline for what makes a QB top-10 (which, to be fair, is what this conversation has been about... though I respect the attempt to reframe it).

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season.
