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.

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

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
