Yea, so since this season was a complete failure due to injuries.. lack of proper coaching and decision making in the off-season (keeping Jake, trading the upcoming 1st round draft pick for a DE who can't cut it, not acquiring any DTs worth a damn)... mixed with being out of playoff contention, and having Fox follow a fluke season with a true showing of your team's talent...

What exactly do the Panthers have left to play for? Do they play and get merked to get Fox and Jake removed (which is what they need to do desperatley)... they can't play for draft picks, due to their 1st round being squandered for a 2nd round talent at best.

So, you tell me what the season's remaining goal is exactly?...

some people are playing for jobs....whether with Carolina or other teams. they will play hard.

personally, I think to a large degree you should treat these games like preseason. Kenny Moore, Matt Moore, Dwayne Jarrett, Charly, Goodson, Martin, Brown should all get more reps. See what they got.

Jake and Moose are most likely done. I say give Moose reps in every game and then let him play the entire Saints game. I also think Jake should comeback for the Saints game. I would support Jake starting against the Saints. Jake overall has been a great QB for us....I say let him play what COULD be his last NFL game. We have nothing to play for....and he probably deserves it.

I mostly agree but Fox is coaching for his future not the teams. He will keep doing the same ole sh*t.

It's OK. Some franchises are just mediocre. So far the Carolina franchise has proven that they are no better than average. I like to see them win but they just are not equipped to do so. From the top to the bottom there are glaring issues and the franchise seems to have the same problems year in and year out.

I don't accept that injuries have been a major cause of our poor season. Our injuries are no worse than most teams, and the good teams get thru them. Our major injuries have been on defense, and it's not our defense that is the problem. Heck, look at the Colts defense, they're missing most of their starting defensive backfield. Our biggest handicaps have been predictible/conservative play calling and HORRIBLE special teams. Jake's poor mechanics (specifically, not looking off his receivers) has contributed to the play calling, no doubt. To not make corrections to those situations sooner is squarely on our HC.

I like Fox, but the time has come for him to move on, by whatever means necessary. The team and him are not responding to each other..

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
