Andy Dalton is a Panther

Agreed.  This signing makes it LESS likely that the Panthers draft anyone other than Young or Stroud.

Dalton is a backup NOT a bridge.

You could argue that he played behind Winston and Prescott (pocket passers) and he was the bridge when they drafted Fields in Chicago--he was not really a backup there, but an unseated veteran.   So I agree--this suggests what kind of QB we are getting--fwiw, Dalton is 6-2.

Same but sam still wants to be a starter. Same with brissett. 
 

Dalton knows what he is at this point. 

Yeah Sam might beat out Lance in SF at this point. Brissett can go back to the Colts and start over whoever they draft for a year

When we have such little cap I don’t like it. The Bears wasted an off-season of Fields by declaring Dalton QB1 and taking reps away from him. Dalton shouldn’t take a single rep from Stroud. 

I was walking down the street today and realized something…Justin Fields has also walked down a street before.  Cool

I don't think that would happen because i feel that Stroud/Young will be  more advanced in their game and ready to start than Fields was.

Basically just fills the space we created by cutting Elflein

    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
    • Which would be 8-8-1. An improvement.
    • Not sure who you are talking to. Everybody maybe? Anyhow the family cat woke me up so….  Saturday, I will be in the playoff frame of mind for that game don’t worry about that. Will be living and dying on each play. Pretty sure everyone will be. That is still a few days away though.  Right now it is yes we made the playoffs. Backed into it with some convoluted 3 way tie breaking magic. It took a heroic finish - not by us, but by Atlanta. I don’t hardly know how to feel about it. I don’t feel like we won it. It is just sort of, well okay here we are, somehow. Our number came up. We were lucky. And that is what we were. Not good, lucky.  As far as here, this discussion, I think people rightly feel like, look at the offense. And it is kind of, what offense? They shut our run down and we become totally stagnant. Some people have faith that the QB can beat people with his arm but we aren’t doing it. We went into our bye off a big high. In or tied for, first place. We control our destiny. 4 games to do it. And we freaking finished 1-3. That control our destiny thing? We didn’t control poo when it comes down to it. Lost in the mix is basically a huge collapse. No one really called it out, it got lost in the excitement of the chase. But, 1-3 with the playoffs on the line - every week. Not inspiring. I mean, you don’t call that trending up, and if we hadn’t lucked into the tournament that would be our finish headed into the offseason. Not what you want. And if we don’t win Saturday? 1-4 to finish the year.  Limping out.  Okay that said I do hate going into playoffs on a winning streak because you are almost due to end the streak and that loss ends your season, so dropping One before the elimination games start is almost a comfort. But 1-3 with a 54 yard passing total in one of them? Followed by 14 points in a must win. Hmmm.   I am supposed to be optimistic? Sorry I don’t think I can be. I can hope, that’s different. It has just been a rough 8 years, and the excitement of having a winning record is in the rear view this week. About the only way we can have one is make the NFCCG I think.    Anyhow, on offense, where are the signs that we can beat people who stymie our run game? I suppose it could happen out of the blue but we haven’t really been able to pull that off.  Beating Tampa Bay was good. That was it though. Our other last little bit of glory is two plays on 4th down where they didn’t really pay attention in the back end, somehow, and we got two really nice results.  Not once, but twice back to back. Honestly it was so out of character it felt a little fluky.  And here we are, depending on that to happen Saturday. At least I guess is what we are hoping for. Good luck to us.
