I think the Panthers should just roll with what they have. We’re not a playoff team as currently constructed. Any acquisition will mean giving up valuable draft capital that we could probably ill-afford to lose. Trading away future assets is what’s gotten us into this mess.

For me it’s not about being a playoff team it’s about doing everything we can week to week to help make Young feel more comfortable.

Public desperation means higher asking price. And pretty much any receiver we could be looking at is going to be hesitant at best to play for this franchise. There's no in season fix here. We shouldn't be letting incompetent Scott Fitterer waste anymore resources.

We are not one player away on offense or defense. Best WR in the league doesn't fix our OG situation

Best WR in the league can help a young QB out regardless of the line situation. Look at the Bengals drafting Chase over an offensive lineman and then having immediate success and two deep playoff runs.

The only "notable WR" that could even be a realistic target for us is Higgins, anyone else and it's just internal discussions that won't go anywhere.

Adams is unhappy losing, he wouldn't be okay coming here, Jeudy isn't good enough to be a "very notable WR", I know we asked about Watson but GB isn't trading him, Hollywood will cost us too much for someone who is a FA after the season (and also isn't likely "very notable").

Unless we're talking to someone completely unexpected (like the Watson interest was) then I can't imagine this being anything more than the team internally wanting to go after someone who we either don't have the ammo to get or isn't a realistic trade target for us anyways.

This season is no longer about trying to contend, it has 1 goal and only 1 goal, to expedite Bryce's development.

I'm good with overpaying to get a WR to help with that, but it has to be someone who is young, can be kept long term, and most importantly WANTS to be here.  We can't get stuck with a diva WR who is unhappy with losing and it spreading like a cancer to the rest of the team, particularly the offense and Bryce.

I agree, but how many young WRs, assuming they are a WR1 or have WR1 potential, are really out there?

I don't know if they've talked to Detroit or Houston, but I like the thought of Jameson Williams and John Metchie with Young back together again.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
