Ben makes little to no sense for us. He is rapidly declining, he don't have a line currently that could protect him adequately and his cost doesn't make any sense whatsoever for a 1-2 year deal outside of a veteran minimum contract.

At that rate, why wouldn't he just sign cheaply somewhere that could actually bring him a title?

I’m not out here pining for Big Ben but if he is willing to buy in what we got going on. I’d pay him good money for a year or 2 but for the sake of the argument I agree it doesn’t make a lot sense for him ... but hard to say no to a SB who produced last year with 4th 5th stringers..

He isn't the future of our team, he isn't going to be here for the future. There is no sense in having an aging "bridge" QB in our current situation. 

Not to mention it doesn't make any logical sense for him as a player. He has played his entire career with the Steelers. Were he to leave, I imagine he is going somewhere to chase a title next season. That isn't us.

Agreed it is kinda Of pointless .. still would love him if he is emotionally available for a 1 or 2 .. but like you said they ain’t no reason for him to come at all. Oh well

Funny...a few years ago he created some drama by hinting he might retire.  Now he is begging for another year and may not get it.  LOL.

He wants that last 30-40 mill check!! He looked completely shot to me and I remember him showing up to TC KB fat seven years ago. He should retire like his fav center just did, Drew Brees looked better imo.

Ageeed he would be down the priority list .. but to outright say no when your current QB is teddy bridgewater is like a homeless man scuffing at someone trying to give a tiny home 

It's more like saying no to a tiny home with a leaky roof, broken windows, broken heat, inoperative plumbing, and precariously perched on a hillside that is sliding.  Sleeping under the bridge sounds pretty good.

Ben has already hung on a year or so too long.  We would be talking about bring in a broken down QB based on what he did years ago, and putting him behind an OL that could barely protect TB for 2.5 seconds a drop back.  What could possibly go wrong?

And not for nothing, but welcome to the board. 

Given the fact that your posts on this thread have been rational, I assume you are new!


thank you for that comment 

 

Ironically I’ve been a member for several years .. but years of creeping on the board. And built up tension for craving panther talk .. but the best of all I see the panthers making major grow in all departments football related ..I do believe we have a motivative and very smart owner. And the culture he is building is only going to get better and better

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
