Looks like Stafford not wanting to come to Carolina is the reason he wasn't traded to the Panthers.

Yep. Plus if what Mr Scott said about his wife is true, well, the decision would be even easier.

Hopefully in 5-7 years, the Panthers have their franchise QB and won't need a Prescott, Watson, or whoever. And maybe a franchise LT too.🙏

Yeah, that's obviously the ideal scenario. But it would be nice to just be one of those teams that if we wanted to make that kind of splash signing at the most important position in football, we could get an elite QB to come here because we are a contender. 

That's why I want to see. Players WANT to come here because they see an opportunity to get a ring.

I get the feeling that if Taylor Moton doesn't wind up being our left tackle of the future, our top priority for next offseason is going to be finding that guy.

I wish I could believe that.

True.

Regardless of whether it's quarterback or left tackle though, I think our top priority next offseason gets addressed via the draft, not free agency.

I wish I could believe that too.

I'd like to believe they are smart enough to draft top talent next year if the Oline proves to be an issue this year. They proved to be smart enough to take a top CB when that position has been poorly addressed for years. That gives me some hope.

We'll see if it pans out though...

I'll believe it when I see it. For better or worse, these guys have their own ideas about how they want to build this team, what is a priority and the direction they want to take.

I don't care if they don't do it the way I would have, as long as the results are what we want them to be.

Time will tell. They seem to be quick to remedy their mistakes, so we don't have to go into each offseason KNOWING that some things will never change, like the Rivera years.

Well, the rams have all the pieces (except a proven rb now that akers is out which obviously wasn't known when he signed with them) and could be a contender this year.

The Panthers are super young and were certainly a less sure bet for him.  I probably would make the same call if I were in his shoes.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its too late for that.  Time has run out.  You dont give him a ext if he plays "decent".  He played "decent" at the end of last year and look what happened.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).
