Seriously, it's time to give Walker an honest look

In clutch situations Teddy has been terrible. Today he shirked all responsibility for a terrible miss in the end zone on what should've been a game winning TD but instead left our best WR injured. Plain and simple - Teddy isn't the answer.

Walker almost certainly isn't either, but he showed intriguing tools against the Lions. He's more talented than Teddy. Give the guy a chance to show what he can do when actually given the opportunity to prepare as the starter. Use that late game injury Teddy suffered as the excuse if you don't want to publicly bench him.

There's nothing to gain by continuing to trot Teddy out there. You've seen all you need to see. There's nothing to lose by giving Walker a real shot.

No, let's not. So let's give him an honest chance to prepare all week as the starter. The second one was a route miscommunication. That stuff happens a lot more with QBs and WRs who haven't had a chance to work together much. On the first one I think he just didn't see that defender.

Yeah but he also was dynamic....and our 20 million dollar bum threw a redzone int today as well.  At least we scored on offense and PJ can make throwns on the run that Teddy B never will and he probably hits that bomb at the end of the 2nd as well.  We would have scored more then 13 points with Walker today...it would have been a dub.

Considering all the good he did as well let's at least give him more than one game to prove that take. Teddy's already done more than enough to prove that he is not an answer either.

Sunk cost. You have to view him as a $3M player next season. He has a $23M cap hit and $20M in dead money. I think there's a pretty decent chance he ends up playing wet nurse for most of next season anyway.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11
