Point is he was taken in the 6th round and he’s doing well in camp.  They spent a top pick on a QB and still took a 6th round flier on a guy.  Because hitting on a QB is everything.

Point is definitely valid, but he has always looked good in practice. It’s how he was originally starting over Hooker.

Doubling down on qbs pays off sometimes.  I like Milton last year as a later round guy to stash if the Bryce Experiment goes belly up. Called him the antiBryce. NFL arm and size but maybe not NFL everything else a QB needs. 

Myself I would have loved to seen us draft Spencer Rattler later for insurance or to spin the wheel again. I realize he was drafted a little earlier but would have been worth it in my eyes to take that chance in case something happens to Bryce or he ultimately busts.

I wanted that too and had heard he wasn’t doing well, but I googled and hit this right away

Olave gives some pretty high praise. 

Should have been us. Needs to be us; always at the ready to pluck.

I wanted Rattler too but there was no way they were drafting someone that would immediately come in and push Bryce for the starting job 

I don't think he would have pushed Bryce to start out the gate - at least not from a coach's perspective. But he would have caused controversy. Spencer's arm talent has never been questioned. When/if he finally gets the mental aspect, he's gonna be a nightmare for the NFCS.

As much as we want to draw conclusions and as much as the anti Bryce crowd wants to point at every reason why he won't succeed, this was always going to be a wait and see approach until the regular season. You have never been able to see the final product in TC and even preseason games

Lets not do this again this year

I mean what did I say that was incorrect? Even last year no one knew they were watching  a 2-15 team during the offseason. Even though there were question marks and some worry over the preseason performances no one could have predicted we'd actually be the worst team in football. My point again is this, you cannot draw conclusions from training camp and preseason games there can be indicators certainly but nothing is set in stone until the real bullets actually start to fly

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
