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

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
