Vick has more passing TDs this season than Matt Moore, and a higher QB rating than both Moore & Delhomme. The kid can still play and he will be a starter again in the NFL.

True, but that's a bit deceptive. Vick is benefitting from playing behind one of the league's best quarterbacks. It's McNabb who is doing the dirty work of getting Vick in these positions to be successful to begin with.

Again, I'm not ruling Vick out. I'm just saying I don't think we've seen enough yet to say he's back -- and even then, the questions surrounding his ability to be an effective passer still stand.

Yes, but with a free agent you've at least been able to watch the player for at least a year or more, in which they played as a full-time player. Even with a rookie, you've seen what they can do in college playing the majority of the snaps at their position.

You guys are enamored with Vick's success in the Wildcat formation, or his success running the ball. The biggest question mark surrounding Vick -- and one that hovered over him well before he went to prison -- was whether he could actually be an accurate NFL passer or not.

So I ask you Vick fans: has he shown you in his limited time on the field that he can do that? Because we've already got several players on the team that are capable of running the ball.

I don't think he's going to be Peyton manning accurate but he's far better and more accurate then all of the delhommes, fryes, moores or any other qbs we could realistically have next year not to mention he has a MUCH better deep ball (night and day) and he still had the speed as he showed on the wildcat TD.

I will go so far as to say that if he ends up on Buffalo or some other worthless team while we pass to go with someone like Frye or Moore (unless he shows dramatic improvement in the next 3 games) I will be legitimately pissed.

What's with all of the Frye talk? Are you talking about Charlie Frye? I haven't even heard talk of us pursuing him.

Unless, of course, you're talking about Greg (Keg) Frye. He's not in actuality an NFL player, no matter what his swole tucks say otherwise.

As a third string backup. Matt Moore has started 2 games. Throw in Vick's 2 rushing TDs and higher QB rating, and its no contest.

How about Moore also owns Vick in completion percentage, yards per game, and yards per attempt as well? Moore is the one that owns Vick. Im sorry that color blinds you.

You better hope Vick doesn't complete his next 3 or 4 passes or he will have you beat. Sample size much?

lol now you're mentioning sample size when you say we should sign Vick based on 1 throw and make an incorrect statment that Moore couldn't make the same throw when he's done it twice and further.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
