Waiting on that controversial comment...

He was gonna 100% try to say that Conner Harrell was at least the equal to Drake Maye.

The kid flashed some talent. We didn't lose because of Harrell. We lost because Mack Brown's teams collapse down the stretch. Period. They did it with Howell. They did it with Maye. They all fall apart coming down the home stretch. It's not a player issue.

If Maye, Tez Walker, Cedric Gray play honestly we still lose. It's a late season Mack Brown game. We lose those.

My concern is that Mack couldn't achieve more than decent with teams that regressed over the course of the season with guys like Howell and Maye at QB. UNC level programs just don't have those types of QB talents back to back. It doesn't happen. Well, they're gone now. Lightning is highly unlikely to strike three times. So if we don't have an NFL caliber talent at QB what's it gonna look like? That's my concern.

Maybe Caleb Williams isn't all that special and it's actually Lincoln Riley? Everyone the guy puts on the field at QB puts up video games stats.

For the nfl I like maye slightly more then williams but you cannot deny calebs arm and athleticism.  He does however hold the ball far too long and overly tries to make big plays instead of taking whats there.  I think he will be fine in the nfl.

 

In regards to riley, his offense produces big numbers but he also has big time qb recruits playing for him.  That doesnt hurt, moss was like a top 10 qb recruit.

He is also an entitled mamas boy who gonna start crying about leaving once he faces NFL adversity. So many red flags with this dude I bet Tepper has a hard on for him

No talk of retirement, not that he should be expected to say something like that in a post game press conference.

 

He's gotta go. It's just a happy retirement gig for him. What do you mean you're not happy? We won 8 games! We went to a bowl! Nevermind that we show promise in the first half of the season before ultimately face planting and abysmally failing to live up to expectations and potential every year. 8 wins aren't created equal. We end every season playing our worst football at the end of the year and we can't gain any momentum because of it. Mack's gotta go. If he's back next year we probably win 4-5 games and start sliding back to where Fedora had us making the whole "Return of the Mack" era largely meaningless. It was a get right move to build a bridge to the next era. Mission accomplished. Don't burn the damn bridge down.

Although these bowl games are less exciting, it does help for the guys sitting behind those stars sitting out for the draft. Gives hardcore fans a chance to see the future of the team for next season.

 

I'm still about getting rid of bowl games though. The average fan is not going to watch if none of the stars are playing. I'm sure ratings will indicate that once the playoffs start.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      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.
