I was at a sh*tty bar today with all Pittsburgh fans screaming their head off every time that overpaid RB that used to play for us ran for 3 yards, so my viewing conditions were not great. Therefore I couldn't really tell who was in on each play unless they showed better angles of the plays on replays. Did Norwood play much outside of the INT play? Did he have any other targets before that? That was a horrible horrible drop that should have been a TD (thankfully Philly didn't drop that TD either, I was worried there) but I gotta give him credit for sticking with the play and running the DB down and getting the forced fumble. Still have a lot of hope for this kid. And once Funchess comes into his own and we get KB back our WR group could be very formidable with KB, Funch, Philly, Ginn and Norwood. Discuss.

Our passing game is gonna be a lot like Seattle's this year. Somebody just step and make the play when their name is called. Nobody is gonna get close to a 100 yds in a game outside of Olsen but he will doubled all season so whoever is getting it thrown their way has to make a play, that will determine offensive success.

No doubt.  They guys made the plays when they needed to.  Just made it hard to watch at times.

All our receivers are going to have to do better. Once we get to the meat of our schedule, we are not going to be able to basically cruise to victories on glorified cruise control because better teams will score more points.  Lord forbid that we are forced to play from behind because we need the pass to set up the run as better teams are going to respect our passing game less than suspect teams like the Jags and Texans.

I agree. I'm kind of disappointed in Funchess. I know he's a 2nd round rookie and they all won't be like last year's draft class, but still. 2 catches in 2 games is disappointing to me. Hopefully he'll continue to improve throughout the year. And Ginn is just way too inconsistent. But you gotta give Philly some credit. He had a solid game against a good secondary.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
