All the guy has done since entering the league is get better and better and better.  27 TD, 9 INT's, 4100 yards last year.  Almost 8 yards per attempt.  YES PLEASE.

He's relatively young, with another 5-7 years of prime football in him unless he gets abused.

Oh, and there's this:

Five game winning drives last year.  Hi there clutch QB.

Yeah, I just browsed his stats too.

I am warming up to this idea quite a bit. I don't think he is an elite QB but he might be really great in our offense.

Then pay him over TB if they can't do better than a TB quality QB. Doubt there is a huge market for him, could even see a return to NE as the main option aside from staying in IND. 

Just don't see them trading for TB.

What I am stating is that TB's contract isnt as bad as this message board portrays. There is an out prior to the 3rd year, and we would have to pay out the majority of this year's value if we traded him. So any team taking on TB is going to get a cheap 1 year rental.

He's not elite at present, but his stats man . . . can you imagine what they'd look like if he was throwing to Moore, Anderson and CMC?  He's got the arm.  He takes good care of the ball, but isn't scared to push it downfield.  Mobile.

And that clutch factor.  He had nine opportunities to win a game for his team.  He did it five times.  All I'm saying is that if our QB had that record this past season, we would have been 10-6.

Yeah, I don't watch a lot of Raiders(pretty rarely). I am trying to get an idea about how he works in their offense. I had a friend bring up him as "check down" guy. Trying to look at some advanced stats to see how he does throwing the ball deep.

Other than that. Yeah, I would be okay with Carr.

Not sure I like the idea, but here is what we know:  The Raiders are in red ink and he would be a $19m break from it..  We could swap first rounders with them and send them a third.  They get to move up into Lance area and have a third to help if they need to make another move up (Cincy or Philly) if necessary. 

They get $19m cap room, the positioning in the draft to draft another QB, and a third.  The Panthers would have the  12th overall pick, 2 NFL starting QBs. The Panthers could then trade back for a late first and late second--then picking late 1st (Tackle like Cosmi) and 2 seconds (MLB, CB) with no third. 

They ain't getting 2 first rounders for Carr.  Not happening.  Carr has 2 years left on his contract and no money is guaranteed.  I am not sold on this move even though it might appear to be robbing the Raiders.  Still, at $20m unguaranteed, we would have about $45m in cap room going toward Teddy and Derek.

Stats are great, but most Raider fans want him gone.  Mayock even said recently, (paraphrasing) "The best part about Carr's contract is that it has almost no guaranteed money."  Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

 What out? To keep him it will cost the Panthers 28M in cap space. 23 this year. 5 next.

  A team trading for him would have to pay him 17M to be on their team this year. Who is going to pay that for a backup QB who just showed his limited ability? If anything, statements like these pretending that contract isn’t a huge obstacle is something that has been falsely portrayed on here for awhile.

I dunno man, check out the Chiefs game below.  Carr took his team down to take the lead with less than two minutes to go and the Raiders couldn't hang on.  He was definitely looking downfield first the whole game.  I know, it's just one game, but it's pretty representative.

Watching Kelce and Waller makes me miss having a great TE.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
