fug them.

They cried all postseason and offseason about how unfair it was to them.

Well, look what all that crying got you. Enjoy your 7-8 win season.

I get it. I just have a lot more sympathy for fanbases in the post-Tepper era. We went from dreaming of Super Bowls less than a decade ago to hoping we can just win a fuging game, period. poo sucks. So I get it.

I don't know what happened to DJU. When he was filling in for an injured Trevor Lawrence his freshman year he looked GOOD. Not like good for a freshman like good like "holy poo this guy might be even better than Trevor Lawrence". But it's been all downhill from there.

So did Chase Bryce then he sucked at Duke and was average at App. Sometimes that “backup” tag takes pressure off the player.

Their wounds are very self inflicted. I have way less sympathy for college teams than professional teams.

What happened? Well he was a five star HS QB that had always been a 3 star college QB. He didn't do anything wrong. He just is what he is.

I have zero sympathy at all for the organizations themselves, all of my sympathy is for the fanbases. The organizations get what they deserve. They make their own beds.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
