Crazy as fug that he's already 28. So weird how big of a piece he was for us for a few years then after we traded him off he pretty much did nothing. Never forget last year's pre-season game tho.

Funny story... I've got a Panthers poster in my living room with Cam, Luke..... and Benji on it. Lol. That one didn't age well.

I remember seeing that game against the Seahawks when he went up above Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman to catch a 50 yard bomb, thinking to myself that this guy was a man among boys.  I mean those are two hall of famers and he just dominated them for the ball.  

Physical tools are useless without work ethic.  A shame he let his eating get out of control and ruin his career.

He was relatively young for it to happen. I’m not saying it’s an excuse, just stating my sympathy for him. Hate to see a young man lose it all like that...

Yes but he lost his mom young and a lot of pro players don’t exactly come from the most stable home life. Plus they have to deal with social media. Not making excuses, but I can see why this happens more often to pro athletes than us common folks

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
