I was really pulling for Bryce to work out, looks like the ineptness of this franchise has claimed another victim. I’m sure all the haters who didn’t like Bryce to begin with will be celebrating.

I'm celebrating because I'm positively surprised that we made the right call here. I'm genuinely shocked we aren't sunk cost fallacy-ing this and sticking with Bryce. 

We have to move on. We're taking the biggest L in the history of the NFL. But it had to be done. And the sooner the better.

you have to release him.

you can't bench him and not. i don't know i can't really explain it. like when they moved on from Jake they had to release him, not just bench him.

I seriously doubt anybody would trade for him, especially not if Dalton looks even halfway decent this Sunday.

Okay now if Dalton comes out and throws for another 300+ and even wins the game does the team trot Bryce back out afterwards??

I mean after all, if Dalton does that surely that means Bryce could too right??

You bench a starter, you leave him benched.

Bryce has always came off as a 'coach's son' to me. I feel like he's had a lot of his success come easily, and much of it was probably pushed for by people around him, his parents. This year, the way his demeanor has appeared, I don't know if he really loves the game. He seems legitimately depressed when I see him suited up. He doesn't look like he wants to be out there.

In the off-season he stated that he spent much of his free time away from football. He just did 'normal' things, watched movies, Netflix, shopped a bit, and was a 'homebody' (you can search for the articles talking about this if you want to source it). It wouldn't surprise me if he just walked away from the game entirely, and that's okay.

Had to be done. He's playing so poorly you can't evaluate and develop you players otherwise.  Defense is always on the field so you can't truly judge them, and the line is blocking and guys look like their getting open but can't get the ball.

If he's truly the problem we replace him with a guy next year(Cam Ward) and build around him

Yes he is.

I don't expect this to suddenly turn the Panthers into a good team but the reality is that Young just isn't an NFL quarterback.

It was always going to be an uphill battle with him no matter what due to the inferior physical tools. Was a bad pick at that spot from the start that looks even worse now.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
