I think we end up closer to 10

We very well could end up splitting with the Bucs due to their injuries, beating the Cowboys and Arizona seems to really struggle when travelling all the way to Charlotte. Atlanta could end up resting all their starters the last week too

Even 2 more wins combined with all the bad teams this year puts us way back. Some of those bad teams do still play each other but unless we lose out (I doubt that happens) we’re going to be closer to 10

Regardless, I'll probably rather go defense first, then pick a second round QB, like Ewers, even if we have to trade a few spots to get the top second round qb.

If Young’s as bad as everybody says he is then yeah, it is plausible. 

We have some divisional games and also Dallas, who may have a worse QB situation.

We are also considerably higher in SOS so we lose most tie breakers.

Even if Bryce started stinking it up, we would likely just switch back to Dalton.

I agree on most of this but Arizona is a REALLY bad matchup for us. A bruising running game and very mobile QB. That is perfectly made to march all over our defense.

This is one of the tighest races for the bottom I have seen in a while.

Sign a veteran bridge QB (or re-sign Andy for this role).

 

Draft Cam Ward.

 

Let bridge QB start and Cam sit and learn for a bit.

 

Profit.

I agree on Ward. But at this point it is a nonstarter to consider keeping Dalton. He has been only marginally better than Bryce Young and those two stinkers against the Bears and Commanders are why we were one of the only teams to seek out his services. Need to look elsewhere.

Horn is an elite CB. Fields will be on his third team in five years next season.

We got one of the worst defenses in the leagues with Horn. A QB is always better value than a corner. And look at the Bears it’s not like Caleb is lighting it up with even more help.
 

He played winning football and has shown far more flashes than Bryce. 
 

I wanted him then and he’s the best path forward still today.

Yeah I'd rather keep Dalton, fields can't see the field or make good decisions

Fields is the play and it’s been the play since we drafted Horn over him. Sign him. 

Having Fields would just put us in QB purgatory. Not good enough to win in the playoffs, not bad enough to draft high enough to get a QB. Fields is literally the worst possible scenario. Give me another season of Young over Fields

Talk about purgatory.

You're blaming Jaycee Horn because we gutted the defense to reallocate significant resources to the offense in order to attempt to make Bryce Young look like a real QB?

Yeah Fields is what he is. He’ll never be the type to pick apart a defense but he can run like hell and throw a very pretty deep ball. 

You can work with that. Doubt it’ll win you a superbowl but it could probably get you to the playoffs pending the rest of the roster

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
