the threads there are stuff dreams are made of. From trading Drew Brees to firing Sean Payton.  And the glorious acceptance that "it's over".

 

Face facts. If we cannot beat Jameis Winston in the Dome , we stand NO CHANCE against Ryan or Newton whatsoever. It's over folks ,Let's take the early opportunity to get a jump on building this Franchise for the FutureExtend and Trade Brees to a deal agreed upon by , the Jets or Bills for draft picks or Elite Defenders.Trade Ingram to the desperate for a RB Dallas Cowboys ( Where he'll likely succeed behind that ridiculous offensive line ) for decent draft picks.Give the Helm to Luke ( So as to not harm our developing quarterback )* We will also be tanking for a Top 5 Pick.

All good things must come to an end, including the Payton/Loomis error. The question is did it happen in 2012 or 2014? Personally I think this team never really recovered from bounty-gate.

That blind optimism just jumped off a 1000 foot cliff when the Saints were humiliated by a team they were 10 point favorites AT HOME against.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
