Bryce and the Dawg mentality


NAS
 Share

Recommended Posts

The so called Dawg mentality that Morgan popularized this offseason needs to start at the top. It falls on deaf ears when your QB is too scared to play and can’t step up and lead the team.  I don’t know how you hold everyone else accountable but not the QB.  It’s clear he’s lost all his confidence but I am not sure treating him with kid gloves is the right approach. If there is any semblance of a competitor left in there they need to shake it out of him and sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom for that to occur. Whatever they’ve been doing isn’t working.

Making him the starter without earning it.

Making him a captain while being one of the worst players and non vocal players on the team.

Sitting him out the pre season.

Bryce has never had to show his dawg mentality,  just like he hasn't had to do it threw his whole football career. He has never been in a situation where everything isnt already great around him, on the field and off. So Asking him to uplift things is just asking too much.

To be fair Dan and Dave were saddled with him.   No one in the building thinks Bryce has the dawg mentality. Except his weird dad I guess. 

True, but they mounted up of their free will.

It would be great learn about any discussion about contingency plans during the hiring process. If Canales has that positive a mindset would he even go there? 

At some point there had to be "what I'd do for Bryce to get him well" like what he needs etc. I hope they had a plan B agreed on.

I miss Cam, and having a player like Cam on the team too, but them days are long gone. Hopefully, the next QB we bring in has us feeling those feelings again. I’m ready for my team to start winning again, and I’m ready to be relevant again. Where we are at now sucks. This isn’t fun. 
 

Bryce is a nice guy, but yea, he has no “dawg” in him whatsoever.

I miss Cam trucking LBs and DBs. I miss Cam bringing Nat'l attention to the Panthers. I miss Cam smile. I miss Cam outfits. I miss Cam dabbin on folks. I miss Cam throwing to no name WRs. I miss Cam manhandling Josh Norman at practice. I miss Cam having a towel on his head when we loss games. I miss Cam being voted #1 player in the NFL by his peers. I miss Cam bringing that swagger to the franchise.

 

I can go on and on, but I simply miss Cam.

That’s another thing…

His parents seem to be attached to his hip at all times. It’s really not a good look and makes you wonder. I’m not sure he’s ever faced true adversity before in his football life. He’s had it pretty easy in high school/Bama. Now for him to finally face some adversity it’s clearly all too much for him

Cam Ward has bounced around a bit. Continuously out to prove himself and continues to do so. Give me a kid who’s been tested before and has come out on top  

Had Bryce gone to some random school like Kansas he’d never have even been drafted

    • Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down. 
    • We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.
    • Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
