The Bryce situation reminds me of Josh Rosen (national media)

I'm thinking there was a policy to not show him up, they must have understood how mentally fragile he seems to be. He doesn't do well with adversity it seems. 

I certainly wanted that but I never had any faith in him to hold me back. I'd have rolled in a ringer and pushed him as hard as I could push him. Several people were calling for it.

Well that's a terrible call IMO unless Canales truly believes that being sat is the only kickstart Bryce needs.

I mean he really doesn't have a choice right now. I think Plummer only gets a shot at backup if Andy gets hurt and Bryce has to start. He has no shot at starting unless both are injured or Bryce is so bad he asks to be benched and Andy is on IR.

I know I’m just a fan but I’ve started coming around to the idea that the QB position isn’t as cerebral as the media makes it out to be. No it is in fact not like being as smart as a Doctor or a Lawyer 

But it’s more about knowing the offense so well that you can manipulate the defense when needed and play within the game with your given physical tools.

That takes years to master and a system that is conducive to it. A rookie will struggle with good defenses no matter how good they are coming out.

Eh, with all of the preseason reps he got I would think he is prepared to at least run the offense. I would think the whole point of benching him, unless the scenario I described, would be to keep him off the field as much as possible. He has been simply atrocious.

If they have to go to Plummer at any point they will have to run the ball 90% of the time from then on to avoid him getting taken out. If he does get hurt it will be the Wildcat 100% of the time.

My new favorite failed QB turned analyst.

Just sayin' since it's a Josh Rosen "I can't believe the situation he's been put in" style thread, they coddled this dude so hard and he just isn't cutting it lol. I was just going through the Eisen Shows and the Cowherds talking that poo and I don't think anyone but Chase Daniel even watched this game film yet lol.

Pete Prisco kept it real on the CBS clip that was posted.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
