I'd say his hopes of winning that collusion case are kind of dwindling.

(didn't really think he was gonna win it anyway)

I think he still has a case.  Everyone can see the Nike Kapernick deal and Nike's success made this move possible.  Before that no one in the NFL was touching him.  Whether that came from up top is what they have to prove or at least make a case that it was strongly possible.

If we hadn't lost a safety to injury, pretty likely we weren't touching him either.

The trouble with Reid not getting a contract was most likely due to his injury record not collusion and teams didn't want to take that risk bringing him in. A few teams did offer him a contract but he turned them down because he would have been a back-up and not a starter which he did not want to take a back seat and spend time on a bench instead of on the field.

Pretty sure the Seahawks were interested in him also. Must’ve seen the Panther situation as the best fit for him and he could start immediately.

The Panthers give him a better chance of being competitive than the other two teams.

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.

      Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.

      And the Rams, Seattle, Patriots, Green Bay, Jaguars and the Bills who all made the playoffs and in case you forgot, Seattle and the Patriots played in the SB. By any measure, that's pretty brutal.
