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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
