Yeah, I thought he handled pressure from the rush a lot better than Allen. He had good touch on his short passes, but his mid-range passes (where Allen shines) were pretty much straight trash and the more open the receiver was the worse his delivery was. His deep looked about like Allen's - consistently underthrown.

He wasn't historically bad but his play didn't inspire a lot of confidence. Granted, two of his interceptions could have been deep completions if our receivers had more muscle and he wisely chose to feed McCaffrey on half his throws. You could say he has the potential to become a serviceable backup which is what you might expect from a comp 3rd round pick while hoping for more. Can't draw a ton of conclusions from a single game but you could probably still say we saw enough to say that he's not the answer for the 2020 starting qb position (not that we expected him to be).

At least one of those throws was underthrown, giving the db a chance to make the play on the ball.

But, I was impressed with his pocket awareness and mobility for sure.

The one area where he excelled, better than Allen or even Cam, was pocket presence and movement.  He moved very well up and out of the pocket as the situation dictated.  That is pretty good when you realize just how bad our Oline plays.

Now, after the great movement, his passing is another thing altogether

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
