OK so there are 3 worst case scenarios guys, not 2.

The stats aren't in our favor.

That scenario falls apart when Andy has to help win 6 games. He's more fragile than Young at his age and doesn't have it anymore. Andy is a mentor not a "real" backup.

just so we're clear regarding the guy who says it's a good thing bryce is throwing picks because it means he's being aggressive: one was a shallow out route that got jumped 

he threw those all the time last year and they're the kind of basic play he's unable to execute because of his arm strength

True, but I always considered that a team accomplishment more than an individual one. But he did go undefeated to the Super Bowl with Moss, along with his only 50 TD passes too. 

Randy is a GOAT wide receiver himself. I had him on one of my Madden Ultimate Team setups some years back. Fun times.

Certainly the combo of the two resulted in an all-time statistical season for spectators to marvel over. But who ruined the Patriots fun in the middle of those dynasty years not once but twice?

The Brady discussion has changed over the years hasn't it? Much was said about how much Belichick played a huge part in those championship runs but that's pretty much been dismissed now and everyone agrees Brady was the engine.

At the end of the day no matter what someone thinks of Tom and the franchise he played all those years for you can't deny that he was the ultimate competitor. He wanted it. He never settled. He was never a timid quiet leader. He wasn't as vocal as some but he also led by example. Would Tom Brady have had one of the worst seasons of his career and then came back in the Spring to announce his first order of business was to take time off and watch Netflix? If you want to compete for championships you need an ultimate competitor type behind center.

Now I'm not saying we need BY or any other QB we might draft to be that necessarily. But they have to at least attempt to approach it. Otherwise we are never going to elevate again as a franchise the way we did with Jake Delhomme and Cam Newton.

I'm reserving judgement and not making any proclamations until like week 6. I think we'll know by then if it was Bryce or if it was Reich.

Two worst case scenarios:

  • Bryce gets hurt so we can't properly evaluate him and miss a chance at a QB in the draft next year even though we'd have a high pick.
  • Bryce is juuuuuuuuuusst good enough, low middle of the pack QB, we finish outside the top 10 in terms of draft position and Bryce gets another year of evaluation in Canales scheme. Think Derek Carr.

Two best case scenarios:

  • Bryce is him and we have a franchise QB.
  • Bryce sucks so bad we get a top pick and draft his replacement.

 

This is it right here!

Top two options and we bring in a vet QB or draft one in a mid round to push/challenge Bryce.

Bottom 2 options answer themselves.

As soon as we accept this is what we are doing this season, it's a lot easier to watch/enjoy.

and there's no bigger story than bryce right now. you can't talk about the panthers or follow their training camp without noticing that the team is deficient at the most important position on the field. 

"I can't even read the TC thread without you people pointing out how bad bryce is" is like complaining Endgame features Thanos too much. it is the issue of this team, despite what some people would like to believe

it will not matter how good the defense is this year if bryce can't manufacture more than 10 points a game.

and its amplified by (fair or not) the tweets from reporters and content guys that bryce is seemingly getting worse as camp progresses

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.
