Who would have thought that these two would have starting jobs in the NFL. Geno was carrying a clipboard for years, and P.J was bouncing between the practice squad and three deep on the depth chart.

Hopefully P.J keeps progressing and keeps his job. Would have never have guessed that these two guys would be successful.

I don't suspect you will see PJ as a long term NFL starter but I do think he may play his way into an NFL journeyman QB spot for the remainder of his career.

Which, that's a pretty good life and some damn good money.

Back up QBs regress to the mean eventually. Geno has been good all season. So I am gonna hold off on any opinion until closer to the end of the season.

Geno was really good last year filling in for Wilson too, I think he'll stick around under Pete C for a while, he's fit in well with their offense.

 

PJ is a nice story but I think he's much more likely to go the way of Kyle Allen. I hope that's not the case but I don't have any illusions.

Furthermore, a lot of you guys thought Matt Coral was the future at Qb. So I wouldn’t listen to a thing most of you have to say about team building. 

I agree with that but Geno had a few bad situations and was never put in a winning situation. His first opportunity to play with a good foundation coaching wrs and a decent running game was last year he filled in very well. This year he’s shown he can more then handle the job he’s thrived so I don’t think we can classify him as a backup only.

Wasn’t implying Geno was a backup now. Was saying Geno has been good since the first game this season, he is a starter in my book. That is subject to change. 
PJ is a backup and has had 2 good games. Most backups eventually do what Kyle Allen did. Teams get film and the backup starts struggling. 
If he continues to improve and play well, even against really good teams, then and only then will I possibly entertain the thought PJ could be our starter. 
I don’t think it will matter if Wilks isn’t hired as HC. The new coach will likely want his own QB.

Would hardly call his tenure here successful. Outside of one game and a Hail Mary his stats have been abysmal. Wishing him all the best and hope he becomes successful but 50% completion and 1 TD per game will not get the job done long term.

I think so many people want a QB so bad in this draft because we haven't drafted a 1st round QB since Cam.  They believe the rookie is going to be our savior and turn this team around.  I'm not convinced any have that "IT" factor. 

I passed judgment on PJ last year and much of this year.  What I have seen is a lot of improvement with his accuracy.  A couple of those throws he made to DJ across the middle where absolute dimes.  The one DJ couldn't come up with was also a well-placed ball.  His TD to DJ was money too.  That's pretty impressive to throw that deep and hit our receiver in stride.  Can't teach that.  What I do like is he has a winner's mentality, and I am excited to watch the Panthers each week. 

Confidence is a big factor.  This has been his first real opportunity as the #1 starter game in and game out.  I don't think anyone should anoint him a sure-fire starter but nor do I think anyone should label him as a perennial journeyman QB.  

He has the tools and who knows with more experience how good he can get.  Let's just wait and see how the season unfolds.  I am sure we'll have a better assessment after 12 games.   Worst case scenario we lose all these games (to the thrill of all the Tankers out there) but at least PJ keeps it exciting.

If you take away the hail Mary 

He was 50% completion 240 yds 0td 1 int vs Atlanta. That sucks

The week before he was 72% completion for only 177yds and 2tds. That's average.

The week before he completed 10 passes for only 60yds.

 

PJ has a long way to go to even be Kyle Allen

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
