PJ Haters. Put some respect on his name.

No, he might not be an all pro.  He might not be a pro bowler.  He might not be elite.  But he is a fuging gamer and a damn good football player.  

He struggled early, but when it mattered he fuging stepped up and killed it.  Ultimately, we arent in that game at all without PJ.  I know some are going to hate him no matter what, but right now, he's the best we have, and again, I see him in the same mold as a guy like Case Keenum or Heinicke, maybe even a Jake Delhomme in regards to his underdog origins, but only with a hell of a lot more natural talent with his arm and legs.  He might not be the guy you want, but again, he is a hell of a football player.  And when he is on, it is fuging fun to watch.  

Thank you for stepping up, PJ.  You have at least made us competitive and make a season that felt completely lost and hopeless fun to watch again.  Keep Pounding, baby!

His pick 6 cost us the game. That and a sorry kicker of course.

That throw literally could've came from Aaron Rodgers and the same thing would've happened.  It was a screen that would've gained a ton of yards.  His choices were throw it or ground it.  If he gets it over the top, it goes long.  He made the choice most any QB would've made.  Carter just made an insane fuging play, and I hate praising opponents, especially division rivals, but that was just an incredible, lucky to happen once in a career-type play.  Carter deserves all the credit for that play, and PJ deserves very little blame.

And again, regardless, once that play happened, you forget it and move on.  PJ, as we all felt also, looked crushed.  Then he came out in the second half and threw some absolute lasers.  We don't tie that game, we aren't even in that game without his play in the second half.

He played his heart out just like Delhomme used to do. Also just like Delhomme we should strive to find someone better. 
 

Not mad at PJ, he’s far exceeded expectations and maybe he even catches on with another team because of this season. 

I respect it.  I'd like to see him stick around as a backup long-term, regardless of what happens.

PJ is, and maybe has, played himself into a backup role next season for this team or another. He’s not elite, but he belongs in this league and is the best QB we have on this roster. I want to continue losing, and ultimately move on, but he’s a gamer. I enjoy watching him play.

OP probably claimed PJ was going to lead us to the playoffs after we beat the Bucs. 

He’s a backup QB who threw against a horrible defense today. Let’s give him a medal for that pick six, though. 

No, I don't believe I did.

And again, despite his mistakes and misfires, he put us in a position to win the game and stepped up when it mattered most.  I guess you miss watching our QB get his passes batted at the line 9 times a game, or maybe a Darnold-era "throw into triple coverage to no one wearing a Panthers jersey"-style QBing.  Some people just can't ever be happy.🤣

He was pure trash today. He get nothing on his name. If not for Forman we would have lost the worst defense by 21.

We have seen plenty of trash QB play in the last 25+ years. If that was trash, I'll take trash. The pick 6 sucked, was a freak play. He picked himself up and battled like hell. There are not many QBs that can make that throw to DJ.

Damn straight, brother.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
