Steelers country, let’s weld!

I dont know what it is about him but, I have just never liked him and always felt like he is fake on camera then a real nozzle off camera. I have recently thought the same of Stetson Bennett when I saw him interviewed a number of times while at Georgia. Both of them strike me as the type who would tell someone they meet that "This ass aint gonna eat itself" while potentially reciting cheesy corporate poster motivational picture art quotes as their servant begins the said munching.

A conditional 6th that can become a 4th…

I don’t think very highly of Fields but man I’d take a shot considering he was basically free

I agree, why is the difference between value either two 1sts, 2nd, and 4th or 50$ Kohl's gift card that's half used.

 

Howell, fields, and even Pickett for peanuts......what is going on?? Those guys have real NFL wins, snaps and still awful young.

 

And here the Panthers sit with young at the wheel..... while those young guns are traded for late round value.....plus its not like anyone has a 50 million salary. Upside is too good even if you're a not a fan..

The problem is with how bad Bryce's rookie season looked, you literally can't bring in competition like those guys, particularly Fields or Howell as they both should start over Bryce.

But given the trade and taking him #1, they're forced to go into this season with him as the undisputed starter and ride it out all year if he's healthy.  Even if you said he was the starter and picked one of those two up, there's no way you could justify keeping them on the bench if/when Bryce sucks again.

We can draft his replacement or go after a type of guy like that next offseason, but unless we straight up moved on from him and traded him, we're stuck with Bryce and have to put everything behind him as our guy this year.

And if we end up with the #1 pick next year and there isn't a clear elite prospect, don't force the pick like we did with Bryce, either trade it or take an elite talent at another position.

We're not 1 or 2 years away from being legit contenders unless Bryce pulls a miracle and becomes an above average QB immediately next year.  Build this up the right way, not knee jerk reactions and reaches

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
