CMC....I think we have forgotten just how good this guy is

I think if the question were who is our best player, he'd be the most common answer (and it'd be correct).

Favorite player is a little different though. Each person can have a separate rationale.

I was implying you'd left him out of your list of lunch-pail guys.

He just didn't pop in my head.

While it may be unpopular maybe a part of me feels like the others never quit on us the organization quit on them often after their bodies failed them.

Luke was a different story. He has all the right in the world to retire but me personally I would trade 15 years off my life to have played 1 snap in the NFL. While I don't logically have an issue with his decision maybe I have an emotional one?

Idk. I endorsed the decision from the moment it was announced and it didn't surprise me, either.

What did he have to prove? Pro Football Reference already ranks him ahead of guys like Urlacher as a Hall of Fame linebacker. What was he gonna do, sacrifice his body for two more middling-to-bad seasons for two more All-Pro nods to add to a career already more than enough for the Hall of Fame?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
