Fields is a FA next year.

I don't foresee Justin Fields ever being an elite QB so I wasn't disappointed when we passed on him in the draft.  That said, if Carolina took a swing at him to legitimately compete with Bryce (or replace him) in 2025 while the team spent the draft and FA to rebuild the defense, then I could at least understand the reasoning. If Fields were signed for 3 years at a reasonable price, you could look for a QB in 2026 and groom him to take over by 2027. I also believe Canales would be arguably the best QB coach Fields has had in the NFL if he ended up in Carolina.

Ideally, with us having a top 10 pick in 2025 and a 2nd round pick on day 2, a solid QB prospect would fall to us without having to trade away everything like we did to get BY.

Since Fields will be a free agent next year, do you think it would be in the Panthers best interest to try signing him?

No. They need to draft someone for the future. Fields is a backup at best. Unless you plan to run the Wildcat all next year I would pass.

A lot of time between now and the draft

…time to evaluate Young and new QBs

we all know the options available for the franchise

i do not believe  the Panthers brain trust , such as it is,  believes  in Young. They believe his floor is his ceiling in the NFL   

if that is true, then Fields becomes the youngest and probably best of the free agents and drafting a gb in the first rd is probable  and the rest of the draft probably all defense …young qb can sit and learn 

of course, too, in a league desperate for qbs, the Panthers won’t be the only one vying for Fields

It depends on what you would want out of Fields at qb. I kind of feel the book has been written on him, and he is what he is. On the plus side, he can run around and make things happen, but on the minus, those things he makes happen aren't always great. He's more capable of winning than Bust Young, but not a long term solution. If we go the vet bridge route, all of them will have warts.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
