We about to get blown out in the first game of the playoffs so bad loll

Let's just get ready for the off-season... It's becoming embarrassing what we asked our QB to do.. But I guess it's crazy to try something else to at least try to fix the situation..

Media is speaking about how "Byrd has been a contributing factor recently on offense". You can have all the talent in the world, but if you can't stay on the field and stay healthy, you're not contributing much. Not saying it's Byrd's fault or anything. Maybe he's just too small for the NFL, either way he seems very fragile, or just has the worst luck ever. Either way....In this business, you have to be on the field....Wish him the best for the future, hope he can shake this injury bug.

If getting blown out meant that there was a chance we would clean house, I'm in favor of it happening.

Lost us WHAT game???

 

Talking about the playoffs....that is IF we lose. I have complete faith in cam he will do everything he can but this is just getting to look like a ridiculous up hill battle. Just saying we all know he is gonna get the blame from outside the fanbase.

Regarding that trade...

If the whole issue was that other guys needed more playing time, the depth chart is completely in the hands of the coach.  You wanna bench a guy, bench him.  You're allowed to do that.

Had Rivera simply chosen to bench rather than Hurney trading him, he'd still be an option for us going into the playoffs.

Is he a speed receiver?  No, but he's also a better receiver than who we have on our depth chart now.

Exactly. And the KB trade had NOTHING to do with Byrd passing Shep on the depth chart recently. That speaks to Byrd's development, not anything that Hurney did.

I was speaking more from an injury standpoint.  I don't think he's a terrible return man.

It's another example of this coaching staff trying to force a player to do something he's not good at. And we'd rather risk injury to our #8 overall draft pick going into the playoffs rather than using someone that is better at it.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
