Found it after all.  It was Person who wrote about the Webb cut being unpopular in the locker room.  Not a surprise at all...

1. They’ll roll the dice at quarterback.

The Panthers clearly think Cam Newton’s surgically repaired shoulder is healthy because they’ll open the season with just two quarterbacks for the first time since 2013. Joe Webb, the third QB/emergency WR/special teams ace, was the odd man out when the team decided initially to keep six receivers before Clay was dealt.

Webb was well liked by teammates and coaches, and this was a deal that didn’t go over well in the locker room. The Panthers also waived No. 4 QB Garrett Gilbert, and will start the season with Newton and longtime backup Derek Anderson as their only quarterbacks.

This is kind of a jaw dropper for me. I figured DA would get to ride out this season, but I really expected us to keep Webb. He seemed to be playing pretty well out there and had a lot of upsides.

The only thing I can imagine is that we really needed the roster spot and he was getting a might expensive for a QB3. I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up in Buffalo as the backup QB, which may have been in the wings before this shook out.

 

Looks like I was right.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By CRA · Posted

      in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.

      He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot.

      This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
