Sanders is ours for the taking if Bryce doesn't pan out.

Oh Jesus. That's exactly what this organization needs. Dealing with Deion's chirping to draft another QB who isn't a high level NFL prospect. Hell, sounds like something that would be right out of Tepper's playbook though.

I recall some teams taking 2 QBs in the draft (not sure about consecutive years) and it turned out.  Aikman and took Steve Walsh (going from memory, so correct any mistakes) that same year in the supplemental draft.  Of course, perhaps the richest QB ever was selected  in the fourth round behind RGIII. 

I think Brock Purdy and his success in SF after playing a lot of ball in college has opened some eyes. 

If you are the Panthers, you draft a QB in round 2 to develop to be a backup and compete.  I do not get why anyone should think that competition for the starting QB is a bad thing.  Iron sharpens Iron. 

My perspective, however, is that we have Dalton for this season, but who are we getting next year, if we need to develop a Young replacement?  In other words, if you think Bryce sucks and you think we should not waste a pick on a QB this season, then my question would be, "Then you are good with keeping Bryce for 2 seasons?"  Next year, Dalton is gone and we have a bust QB in year 3--if Canales fails to bring him along. 

We are not in a great situation, and the blame goes to the dotards that are no longer here and Tepper, the lone supreme dotard.

Having said that, it is my view that Bryce would be better off with a seasoned veteran in his ear than a developing rookie, so I say that going "all in" on Bryce may be the way to go--not the ideal way...

and say no to bo...or really any QB this year. 

do what we can to give BY every opportunity for success or at least substantial improvement. 

if it's not there, then we try again next year. but at least it couldn't be said that we didn't even try or give it a full effort.

we invested that much into him...we have to give it a real honest go with a real team around him and a non-dysfunctional coaching staff.

Too much investment. But, I am 100% behind requiring our QB to win the job in a legit competition. 

You have to have that competition. I am more on Rattler if he happened to be there at 101. Get somebody with a possible future in here that can compete.

That is showing me you want to win.

No QB this year. All in on Bryce this year. No QB Battle distractions. Make it or break it year.  

Thats not necesarrily how it works, if Bryce stinks it up again you need somebody that can come in and perform. We as fans look at as tanking if he does and you pick your qb next year so its cool but the team just isnt gonna operate like that and the players will not be comfortable with that. If anything a QB battle should push bryce, if it doesnt then he is a lost cause.

That is how the media works though.  I don't want to hear about it all year. For 2024, Bryce is the guy. There is almost no scenario where I would pull him, outside of injury, for the backup.

You aren’t going to expect a big contribution the first year from a 4th round QB.  If Young really doesn’t show a whole lot better then maybe you can see what the new guy looks like the last few games ands maybe that helps get him ready for the next year. 

I just think they are in a situation where they need upgrading of that position wherever it comes from. I see the adding weapons to juice up the offense so it may look better but I only expect marginal improvement from Young himself.

Kirk Cousins and Brock Purdy weren’t taken in the 2nd round.  I think the difference is significant.

If it's about winning, then Bryce has to be pullable. If it's not, then why the hell are you playing the game?

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
