How hard is it to get a QB in here that can throw downfield? Like surely some of these college guys who went undrafted but put up crazy stats can throw the damn ball down field. At this point the Panthers should be bad, but exciting. Not bad and also horrendously boring

if you listened to the presser... doesnt sound like PJ is getting near the field Sunday. At least Wilks deflectio and tone gave you no confidence in an active PJ this weekend

Well he's in a pickle now isn't he. Guess he should have taken the time to aired it out more with PJ. Seeing as he's the only qb left at the time that knew most of the play book and a practice squad backup why not?

Wait, PJ'S now injured you say? From trying to air it out you say? Well now what will we do?  We need entertainment dammit!

Just make Eason our QB.  It's not like we do anything special anyone even needs to learn.  There's no system to acclimate into, it's just all hand offs, screen dumps, flats, and corners. 

And for some reason they're written in some insane code that takes players 2 months to memorize. It's like asking the players to run basic preseason plays but process them in the huddle in the most round about way imaginable

Its not that PJ can't because he has.   Wilks said that was the gameplan that he wanted.  The positive yardage throws will come later.

I've said this before about PJ.  He's got a active arm but couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a banjo.  His accuracy is poor.  Throwing downfield with PJ is like throwing a punt.   

Eason at least looks the part.  He did ok until his Int.  I feel bad for the guy because he really gave us a small spark until the Int.   I would ride with Eason this weekend.  He can't be any worse than PJ.

I mean, basically all 31 other teams could scheme up some basic pass plays for PJ between the 20s vs a meh team. 

I mean PJ is what he is.  What we witnessed on Sunday was something uniquely bad that is separate from PJ Walker being a weak QB.

      To all the analysts who said "Caps in 5", thank you for telling us their departure time.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
