Yep, let Tampa get assblasted by Dallas at home.

Now, the next step is to trade up with Chicago and draft Stroud or Young

"We need all of these players", also "Let's trade away everything for the chance to draft a QB who may not be any good".

Does not compute.

Not sure what else you wanted from him.

He wasn't the one who allowed the Bucs to score 30 points.

Yeah he had that one pick (which was overshadowed by 3 TD passes for his first 300+ yard passing game of the season). 

 

Anyway, he proved what some of us already knew :  He'd make one hell of a backup or Bridge QB until we can get either Corral or another young QB in there to be the Franchise. 

He'd be a nice safety valve for this team to be somewhat competitive while we continue the search.

FTR, I'm fine retaining Darnold for food backup money. Seems like a great guy in the locker room and he could be a good bridge to a rookie if need be so we're not forced to play a rookie before he's ready.

He went for 346 and 3 tds.

You sound like kriby smart last night

We are shaping up to be pick 7ish.  Bears and Cards are likely to be 2 and 3.  And Seattle's DEN pick looking like #4.

A trade up would leap Indy, Vegas, & ATL.    But could be 7 to 2 or 3.  

That's not a monster leap valuation wise.

 

Trade value doesn't come into it when talking QBs. Ask the 49ers - we'd get fleeced.

Not to mention we now have an easier schedule next year and don't have to play the Bills and Eagles.

Maybe. If we end 3rd we could play 

Rams with Staffold and Kupp back, Dolphins, Giants

Had we won the division the last three would be 
Philly, Bills and Niners

If we end 4th
Cards, Commanders and Jets/Dolphins/Patriots

This was a team loss, full stop.  If you believe that Sam was the singular cause for our loss, go ahead and pull the trigger, and trade away a boatload of draft picks for the first or second draft pick.

Kyler's contract likely means they're sticking with him despite the concerns and the injury.

I could see the Seahawks rolling with Geno. Carroll is 70+. Does he really want to develop a rookie QB? Doea he think there's a rookie in the draft who would be better now than Geno was this year?

Indy, Vegas, and ATL are all obviously QB needy teams.

With 3 turnovers and it could've easily been 4 or 5.

He's better than I ever thought he would be but he's not the long-term answer. There were very few throws he made downfield that weren't his first read. He's still the same guy. He looks great when the play works as designed and he can hit his first read. He's an extremely talented thrower of the football. But he's not a long-term answer at starting QB.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
