Letting them get ahead? We played to win. It’s what every team should do.

Not when you don't have a chance. That's not a player decision, that's a GM, FO decision made for the future of the franchise and draft position. That's f'd, so is Watson and TB has absolutely no value other than a backup.

We can't bottom dwell any longer and NOT get A QB. Plenty of choices not in the top 4 who could end up being better than their peers, Kyle Trask, for instance.

A player has to play to win but they can be managed and should be.

I don't know how you look at the Washington game and see a game where we put everything into it to win.  Hell, the game was disturbingly close despite Washington trotting out one of the worst QBs in the NFL last year.  Burns and Brown played their lowest or among their lowest snap counts on defense.  On offense, Davis and Samuel had some of their lowest usage all year. This wasn't a team going all out to win the game.  But you need to let young players get SOME experience and you don't want to be obnoxiously obvious about tanking when people are fighting for their next paycheck, either.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
