Do you resign Dalton for one more season?

Putting this out there now, do you resign him or not. Sure he is old as dirt and may be spent. Season is half over and they are still in limbo.

Options are few and far in-between. Few viable options going into 2025. What the hell are they going to do?

Opinions?

You start Dalton for the rest of the year.  Everyone is arguing Bryce vs Dalton, but here is my argument.

If you have decided that Bryce isn't it, and we have.  XL, Coaker, Sanders, and Mingo will not improve more learning along with Bryce's mistakes.  While Dalton is old, he is experienced and reliable.  He is the new Fitzmagic.  Fitzy was 39 when he retired.  If he isn't interested go after Gardner Minshew or Jamis Winston.  Shoot, you never know, maybe fixed Sam Darnold could be in play. (not really) We have been on a run of red-headed QB's!

Trade back from number 1, collect an extra 2nd round pick and grab Drew Allar or even Connor Weigman and have him sit a year or two.  Build the defense in FA and the draft. Getting DB back, adding a stud EDGE from the draft and FA depth signings need to happen before we think QB.

BC isn't looking half bad at center, AC may want to come back at a discount.  I've decided that Icky plays better everyone not named Bryce Young.  OL is pretty solid.  Got to look for Moten's replacement in the late rounds.

I would have agreed 3 weeks ago, but it's not as if Dalton has played well recently either.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
