He’s already looked better than Kalil ever did here. Not sure he’s going to be a long term elite player by any means but man has he been a revelation for a 6th round rookie, and he’s versatile as hell. I’d say that he’s got a long future here at the very least as a core depth player.

I mean realistically at this point he looks like a starter. Sure he whiffed on a sack, but even elite tackles get beat sometimes. So far he's looked pretty outstanding overall, especially for a rookie. At this point we should drop the 6th round draft status thing because it's obvious he'll stick and outperform his draft position even if his play tails off some.

I’d pump the brakes a little bit though. OL can get figured out too. People forget because of the Super Bowl, but Remmers was amazing for the 2015 regular season at RT. Miller crushed him and then he was figured out and has been a liability since then.

If Little comes back and balls out at LT I wonder where he ends up on the line. 

I think at this point you have to say Daley has outperformed Little, don't you? Forget what round they were drafted in, strictly by on field performance, isn't it kind of hard to say you feel better with Little as your LT than Daley? And that's not a knock on Little at all, he's looked good before he got hurt. I just think at this point, how can you not say LT is Daley's job to lose?

I mean if Daley starts to get beat on a regular basis we can revisit the conversation, but I don't recall that many instances of tackles getting "figured out". IMO Remmers is not a good example of a tackle getting figured out, he's an example of a coaching staff not figuring out at any point in a Super Bowl that your tackle needs help against a generational talent pass rusher.

I'm still very iffy on the line in general.

I've said all season that our concentrating on short, quick passes makes our line look better than they really are.

The 49ers showed how we could be beaten if you had good enough secondary to cover tightly.

Kudos to them for doing what they need to do, but I'm still not ready to praise them too much.

OK, you’re right, fit the kid for his gold jacket

How you gonna turn my "I think the rookie has earned the starting LT job on an otherwise weak OL" into "He's Canton bound!" C'mon man, that's not remotely what I'm saying. I'm saying that based purely on play to date this season, the LT tackle job should be Daley's until proven otherwise.

      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.
