PJ for Pres!

I've seen every Panther game. Love this guy! Reminded me of Jake! You're like what? How did you make that throw? 2 minutes later you're like why did you make that throw? This man just got his first start! He looked way better than Teddy 2 yards to me. Minus the crazy picks, we could have won by 40. Told my grown son on that Moore pass, damn we haven't seen a pass like that since '15. That was exciting football. Told my boy at half, he's still a bit skittish, let's see how he starts the second half. He started 10-10. Homer or not, that was fantastic to watch. PJ can chunk it. Kept the D real. I for one would love to see him start the rest of the season if nothing more than to see his potential. Loved his play. It was exciting.

Those “crazy picks,” were horrible decisions in the most important part of the field. Slow your horses. PJ played good today, but not what you are suggesting...

First one yea, second seemed like complete lack of communication.  Reciever went over middle, he thought he was goin for the corner of the endzone.  This is something that comes with reps and familiarity with recievers.  Not even really agreeing with OP, pickles would have won today with how our defense played, but I am willing to see if he grows and shows more over the next few weeks

Unpopular opinion. Teddy is the better QB but I love how PJ plays the game. Way more exciting. 

Teddy's more consistent and predictable (for better or worse) for sure but yeah, agreed that a more dynamic QB is more entertaining on top of any on-the-field benefits.

I actually think this is a popular opinion. Most recognize Teddy is the best QB on the roster. But the one thing he does is get predictable with the lack of deep throws. When he is aligning it deep we look hard to defend. Then for some reason we go to 1-5 yard check down city happening after that and the other team knows they can focus on short routes. 
The best situation from this is Teddy sees what people enjoyed today about PJ and incorporates more of that going forward.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
