With Person spreading the rumor that Young may not play during the preseason (hard to believe), it looks like Plummer may have playing time to show out.

Why would they not play Young? Is he that bad that they have to hold his hand and hold him out? Very hard to think that this is actually true. If Jack plays and shows alot of promise will they ever give him a shot during the season?

Wouldn't be the first time that a UDFA proves everyone wrong.  Highly unlikely, but if Young can't do it, then who the fug knows.

The Patriots in recent years have been responsible for injuring our guys during the preseason so I’m ok with Bryce sitting. It’s a win-win regardless the way I see it. 
1.) Plummer outplays Bryce and the staff, hopefully then, goes with the hot hand. 
2.) Bryce is kept healthy for the season and even with the improved offensive line and receivers, Bryce continues to put up his rookie numbers. This will only lead to, hopefully, the staff seeing that they played to his strengths in building a scheme to maximize his strengths in short yardage passing, only for him to continue to hold the offense back, to selecting his successor in upcoming drafts.

Jake D. was a UDFA when he signed with the Saints.

Wasn't a bad QB at all.

Never know....

I swear when I watched him last year I thought he threw a lot like Will Grier, I thought he has no velocity on his passes but now after watching his highlights his arm isnt bad, his wind up is kerry collinsesque but his highlights have some nice things on it.

 

Maybe he could be a modern day delhomme

I have seen several pundits say that starters shouldn't play in preseason.  Eventually, more teams may buy into it.  

IMO, if your starter is Patrick Mahomes, no point at all in playing him.  But if its Bryce Young, well he probably should be playing.

Yep, I understand those advocating for established starters to not play at all in preseason, even younger guys like Hurts, Purdy. But guys in year 1/2 who are only "starters" due to draft pedigree absolutely need to be playing. ESPECIALLY with an entire new coaching staff and system.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
