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.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
