Analysis: The Panthers are undergoing an extensive makeover, but the team still has a chance to be competitive for another few years due to its solid drafts. At the top of the draft, the Panthers successfully nabbed Beason, Stewart and Otah in the first round. The trio has anchored the team's rebuilding efforts and given the team an identity on both sides of the ball. Even though Jarrett and Irvin have failed to live up to their draft status, the overall contributions of the team's recent classes have been outstanding. Given the significant losses to their roster this offseason, more of the Panthers' young players will get a chance to prove their worth in 2010.

Me thinks that old Bucky was just looking for somebody on the roster that didn't have great stats. Calling a 3rd round draft pick a bust after one year is pretty extreme.

I also didn't know that we still had 23 of 24 drafted players still on the roster. That in itself is pretty damn impressive. Its also indicative of how good our scouting dept. is.

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
