Honestly, in what qe've seen of him so far, I think this is true, and he should be the starter in TD's absence.  He has an innate ability get to the passer and just looks more explosive out there.  Mayo is solid, but to me, he is just a guy...  he is kind of like the same player as Dan Connor, Adam Seward, and other late round MLBs we've usually had in the past...  he steps in and plays, and while he isn't neccessarily a liability, he isn't standing out either.  Carter has potential to be more.  I think Andre Smith does too, and the addition of Carter and Smith likely knock guys like Jacobs off the 53.

Yes, he can get to the QB . . . but seriously, that's not something we really ask our LB's to do with any sort of regularity.  That's something a 34 OLB does.  This is why everyone expected him to go to a 34 team.

We need someone who can play the edge on the run and cover a TE / RB in the pass game.

I will give you the fact that Mayo is solid, but don't tell me that he has the upside of Carter because it already would have showed. Carter is the more gifted athlete, and though I might not start him right now, because I believe it's still obvious that he's making the transition, I can easily see the argument for him to get out there sooner rather than later.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
