I bet you never thought you would be arguing that point at the beginning of the session. 

I feel like I'm in some alternate reality where I would have said that about PJ. But he literally is the best QB we have right now.  I can't believe I typed that. 

Imagine if a team had given him 4 years of chances like Sam or Baker. He's at what 5 games?

I don't know what it is but I can't help to be a PJ fan these days. The team looks invigorated with him behind center and Rhule's ass gone. PJ has at least proven he will be a good backup for this team but right now I think he is the absolute best we have and needs to continue to start to see if he can develop even further. I'm sentimental though as I love a feel good story and would enjoy seeing PJ and Steve Wilks turn the team around together and both land jobs for next year.

With the cap and draft situation next year it doesn't really make sense to blow everything up anyway. Give them both a full offseason, maybe draft a QB to sit for the start of the year, if it doesn't work out 2024 is the time to wipe the slate clean

Well to be fair he's had a few years here under Rhule and it hasn't helped him.

The truth is PJ is playing for his nfl life right now.  What he does with this opportunity will determine if he gets another shot here or somewhere else next season. Believe or not I'm rooting for him to succeed even though I doubt he will. But I like his determination.  He's easy to root for.

He's already got an NFL roster spot next year based on the last 2 games.  Someone will sign him to be a backup if we don't keep him.

Yeah the whole bringing Cam in last year was a mess all around and was a waste of PJ's opportunities. The whole Rhule era was about getting the job, and then throwing random poo at the wall hoping that something would cover up the fact that he had no clue what to do with anything relating to actual x's and o's. At least that phase is over

Pretty much the same player. Good enough to win a few games, but also remind you why they’re not a franchise QB due to inconsistency .  

PJ is a solid backup but just like first half today he will not be able to carry this team into the future.   He has limitation in seeing the field and missing wide open throws.

Well I don't believe that I've seen anyone say that he is our future. He has earned some respect though, and has proved that he should be on a roster. 

If we think about it, since being committed to, P.J. is playing his best football. Sometimes guys need time and opportunity. I believe that was only his fifth start. He can get even better more than likely.

PJ has proven he can win more than one game.   I mean he literally has won games all 3 seasons he has been a backup.  

he played well enough to win today too.  That’s football though.  

 

He was a direct cause of us losing. If Forman didn't run over ATL this game wouldn't have been close.

He doesn't have to be the guy. He just has to prove that he belongs here to sit behind the guy in case he may be needed.  We are still looking for the guy.

We have had one of the worst QB rooms in the NFL for too long now to the point some people apparently have stockholm syndrome as a result.

Sam Darnold - pick six

Baker Mayfield - pick six

PJ Walker - pick six

One might look slightly better than the other on different gamedays but none of them are starters.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
