Would anyone other than the #1 overall pick still be starting at this point?

[Captroop]

As the title says, if any other quarterback had Young's stat line after 7 games, and played the way he did against the Colts today, would he still be starting the next game?

[LinvilleGorge]

Hell, at some point we have to be honest and ask ourselves if continuing to play him is actually helping him right now. He's going backwards.

Ask Bill Belichick.

Panthers are in a tough spot

they billed themselves a plug in a QB and win team. 

we have been horrid.  So let’s say you want argue Bryce isn’t the problem….then you have to identify the problems (and they have to be big ones)….and change them. 

you basically have to at a bare minimum have to pick Bryce, GM or coaches.  I’d love for the sunshine brigade to start addressing where the change is supposed to come from.

You're giving the OL a pass huh?

[jopie87]

No, and he shouldn't be either. 

[jfra78]

If Andy starts the pass game would look significantly better, but still there will be Brycexcusers

[Paa Langfart]

lol.  Dalton should have carried on after his first start for us.

I largely put that on management of the entire operation.  If you asked Joe Burrow to run Lamar Jackson’s O and Burrow then sucks….is that Burrow sucking or the Bengals being clueless with their talent?   If we put Thielen on the outside and run go routes all game and he finished with 0 additional catches the rest of the year? Did Thielen get worse or is he be asked to do  the wrong thing.

This OL was not built nor acquired to run this offense.   They don’t fit it nor what they are asked to be each week.   

So I largely put it on coaching and management.   Even if this O is their ideal vision they don’t have the talent for it yet.  And they aren’t adjusting to that fact.  At all. 

The OL sucks. They 100% suck.  I just think you gotta acknowledge why they suck and it’s a choice the staff made.

The look on his face and in his eyes yesterday was almost sad. The realization that he isn't a nfl qb kind of sunk in for him. 

[Waldo]

He certainly isn't worth building around in the future and at this point they should flip the oline back to late last year and if he isn't good enough to play in last years easy oline scheme then it really doesn't matter.

I don't think anyone involved can afford that yet. Until the blame potato firmly lands on someone that won't really be an option.

Baker Mayfield currently has a 12/4 TD:INT ratio 

Bryce needs to get the hell out of Carolina.

Exactly. The offense looked the best with him at QB.

All of the above. Bryce is one of many problems, but he is still a problem.  His play has done nothing to suggest he would suddenly become elite with better surroundings. Just average to above average at best. Not what you are looking for in a #1 overall.
