Not seeing the logic, it's not like we backed out without cause

We're probably pissed and feel like he and/or his agent misled the hell out of us. They probably either completely withheld the injury or greatly downplayed it. I'm sure he wasn't the only CB we were considering and then by the time he finally drug his ass to Charlotte for our docs to get eyes on his trench rotted foot it was too late to make an alternate move on another quality young FA CB. Breeland fuged us and burned that bridge.

Hell, delaying his arrival in Charlotte was likely planned. They were probably hoping that since all the other quality options would be off the market by that point that we'd be desperate enough to just sign him anyway.

I thought it was weird when he didn't show to sign on Wednesday but I didn't think too much into it, but it quickly became apparent yesterday why that was. I mean, if you had a multi-million dollar contract on the table, wouldn't you be there ASAP? My ass would've been camping out outside of the Panthers' office like those idiots at Best Buy leading up to Black Friday.

Yea so not sure how this could be spun against us in any way shape or form. You can't just show up to sign a good contract with a fuged up foot that needs a skin graft and be like "oh yea that, had me a cut"..."stubbed it ya know"...."the usual 4 month stubbed foot cut recovery time".

Voth is saying the PC thing here, but I'm betting both sides have no interest in revisiting.

Breeland obviously thinks the injury is no big deal and I'm sure the Panthers feel misled by Breeland not disclosing what their doctors  (and frankly any doctor) would think. And that delay obviously cost them the opportunity to negotiate with other players that have since signed contracts.

It's an unfortunate situation, but Breeland screwed himself and only has himself to blame. 

I think he will ultimately sign a 1 year incentive laden deal and try again for FA next year

Our doctors when they saw that foot

I could have compound fractures in both legs and I assure you I'd act like it was "no big deal" if it was standing between me and a multi-million dollar contract.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
