Panthers if they were cars

I'd liken Bryce to a Nissan Versa - tiny, no power, no exceptional features, somewhat nimble but not great, and gets blown around by a gust of wind. Somehow, its owner got swindled into trading 3 other new cars for it straight-up.

Tepper is a late-2000's Subaru Impreza  - an asshole car that constantly blows a gasket and may spew fluids at you.

Scott Fitterer is a Chevy Traverse with a blown engine - a bloated pig that is utterly useless.

Brian Burns is a current-generation Toyota Supra - extremely overrated by amateurs, thinks it's worth more than it is, not truly the brand it's advertised to be, but still has speed on the edge.

Derrick Brown is a Toyota 4Runner - rock solid, reliable, brute force to be reckoned with.

Miles Sanders is a current-gen Ford Bronco - severly overpaid for by its current owners, performs like poo, but looks good in its uniform.

Adam Thielen is 250,000-mile plus Honda Civic SI - reliable, quick, nimble, fun to watch, but only has a few more years on the road and on its 2nd owner.

Jaycee Horn is a Jaguar of any year or model - performs well when active, but sits in the shop for most of its life.

Finally, Ickey is a Challenger Hellcat - can match opponents in a power-against-power contest, but those with good handling will run circles around it.

I'm impressed by your assessments. You most definitely know your cars and your Panthers for that matter!

Bryce Young is a Smart car. Tiny, terrible performance measurables, but the owners think they're super innovative and ahead of the curve while everyone else laughs at them.

Except at least a Smart car is capable of going the speed limit. Bryce is a Smart car speed limited at about 35mph and he's out there on I-85 with 18 wheelers flying by at 80.

Goddamn

Bryce is a Scion xa. It starts every time, but regardless of the hype, it is exactly what it looks like. 

I have a 2013 Lexus GX 460 with 172,000. 5,500 lb V8 AWD premium gas drinking dinosaur, and I love every bit of it. It’s the best Toyota I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned a lot. Easily 350-400k miles capable. This is Calias Campbell.

Tepper is a Ford Pinto stopped at an intersection just about to get verbally rear ended by a fan.......

My folks had a Pinto station wagon, and when my car was down for repair I drove it while  in high school.  It was a beautiful poo brown color and my friends called it the " rattlebox ".

I forgot to add:

DJ Chark is a VW Golf GTI with a failing clutch master cylinder - he's unreliable, but fast and effective when he gets going, but that's IF he gets going.

Frank Reich was a 2008 Mercedes C Class- tired, decrepit, somewhat effective in its day 10 ish years ago, but mainly made its name off of its peers and now resides in the junkyard after 5 different owners.

Stephon Gilmore was a very nice used rental car from Turo.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
