The guy has been there for us on the field and off the field. He was a great investment, great player, great teammate and great member of the community. The guy earned his paychecks week in and week out, both the big ones and the smaller ones.

If this is it for him, then thanks CJ for the games. It has been our distinct pleasure having you with us for your career. Please stick around and keep being part of this organization!

I remember watching him during OTAs as a rookie and second year player--then, there was no tarp and the DL practiced in a corner away from the street side of the field.  You could see and hear the coaches and players interacting. CJ was a goofball---he was always getting yelled at by the coach.  One day,  CJ was not getting something right, but the coach kept yelling at him.  CJ just stood on the side of the drill, hands on hip, watching the other players do the drill.  It did not seem to bother him.  He had done nothing in the league at that point, and he was struggling through basic drills.  I thought, "There goes a bust if I have ever seen one..."  Not much of a story, but he did come a long way from a third round pick to what he was in his prime.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
