It's almost like he's currently embroiled in a legal dispute and his mind his elsewhere.

If he's there in the second round you run to the podium. 

So..... what you're saying is that you want to draft a guy who is showing he can't get ready for the most important job interview of his life because he's too distracted by other things in his life.

And you want to go out and give him millions of dollars and expect him to then be able to keep his mind focused on football at that point?

Yea.... hard pass

I'd think he's a psychopath if he can go out there and perform at 100% when he's being investigated for a car crash that killed someone.

Each to their own though.

There is a huge difference between performing at 100% and being so out of shape that you literally can't finish the drills.  If he was just a bit sloppy out there and his times weren't great, sure, you could blame that on what's going on around him.

But putting on almost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, knowing what is at stake, and then being THAT out of shape, that's extreme.

I'm also someone who absolutely would fall apart mentally in his situation, so I'm not bashing him for that.  But if I was in his situation, with his NFL career on the line, I'd at least be in shape enough to finish the drills and/or be aware enough that I wouldn't be able to finish them and would come up with some other excuse as to why I couldn't work out.  Say you pulled a hamstring or twisted your ankle a few days ago in training, that's way better than not being able to finish the workout.

Y’all are crazy. Take the man in the second round, if he’s there (which he won’t be). Do you know how easy it is to put on 9 pounds when you’re that big? The man has a lot going on, and with his tape, he doesn’t need to do anything but get medically examined. 
 

Some guys are just so good they can just turn it in when they want. Jalen Carter is I don’t have to work hard good.

multiple front defense with D. Brown and Burns and you all are too good to add the best D Lineman to come out in a decade. Pffffft

    • 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.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • 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.
