Have a tournament again so likely won’t watch this weekend anyway. I couldn’t last weekend and I didn’t bother watching it when I got back home. I honestly am at the don’t care anymore mark. We got to the hard part of our schedule with only 4 wins and we don’t have day 2 picks so not a whole lot to look forward to the rest of the year.

I know Cam is the popular "what if" right now but honestly, but we gave away Kyle Allen for what amounted to Kenny Robinson.  

Rivera is playing Heinecke because he's pulling a Rivera but by all accounts, I think Allen is better.  He would've been a completely reasonable plug starter/life time backup.  Now we're all over the place with the Teddys, Darnolds, PJ Walker, and Matt Barkleys of the world. Could have just stuck with Allen until we found an obvious upgrade.

They're smoking some serious sh*t.  His preseason was:

16/39 (41% completion), 252 yards, 1 TD

Plenty of QBs available after that last game.  They should've known to find someone else to backup Sam at that point if they REALLY thought they had a playoff team outside of the QB spot.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
