What QB? I can't see us picking top 2, I can't see a path where he has his eye on a certain Vet and will move Bryce if we can get him 

Idk what Qb until after these last 3 games & the draft order is in place < then the NFL combine is over & the senior bowl & the pro days,etc  

alot of the media & so called draft experts said the year Patrick Mahomes was drafted that this one of the weakest draft classes in years to draft a Qb ...LOL the Bears drafted Mitchell Trubisky who was the first Qb taken that year  then Patrick Mahomes who was drafted #10 overall  was the 2nd Qb taken & then alot of so called experts /media called it a reach because they had a second round grade on Patrick Mahomes 

throw that freaking draft prospect list in the trash can & don't believe everything the media is saying right now...LOL

Geno, Baker and Darnold have the physical talent to be in this league. Bryce does not, and if he doesn't overperform, then we lose. 

WTF was this team thinking selling their souls for him?

baker I would say is borderline 
 

The panthers looked at him as generational iq player. People forget that drew brees was seen as pretty average until he paired up with Sean Peyton. He also put on some muscle mass.

bryce is still young. I think his number 1 priority is finding a way to gain muscle. His instincts and accuracy are there. He looks like a kid out there still. 

it all goes back to my original point that he needs time to grow. His intangibles are too good for him to be this bad in my opinion. I get it if you’ve given up on him I just think that’s the entire issue with the nfl right now - teams don’t I think long term enough (and tepper is the number 1 culprit of that)

I will never understand why people continue to include Baker Mayfield in these kind of discussions. He was literally a Pro Bowler that led Cleveland to an 11-5 season and the playoffs. He threw for over 14000 yards and 92 TD's in his four years in Cleveland alone.

Geno Smith has 18500 yds and 98 TDs for his entire 11 year NFL career. Sam Darnold has 15600 yds and 92 TDs in his entire 7 year career.

Geno Smith and MAYBE Sam Darnold are examples of bust QB's that turned their careers around. Baker Mayfield was a guy that Cleveland inaccurately gave up on and then landed on the worst team in the NFL to fuel the fire that he was now a "bust." He literally had more success with a couple of days notice in LA than he did in Carolina. That wasn't him, it was us. What he is doing in Tampa is much more indicative of just a QB getting better over his career(see Allen, Josh) than him recovering from being a bust.

I am not even a big Baker Mayfield fan but this narrative has always driven me insane because it is so unbelievably and WILDLY inaccurate.

Is pretty clear he is getting next year but it would be damn criminal to not significantly upgrade the qb room and create competition.   And after the 3rd season we have to make a decision on the 5th option which creates even more uncertainty.  We are just not in a good spot and seem to have completely and totally squandered the "mythical rookie qb contract" due to his poo play and our terrible cap situation

I don't think the idea of "competition" is that valuable. Improving the room is a good idea but it's going to be tough to accomplish without massive investment. What you really are probably looking at is more so just having a valid starter when/if Bryce fails in 2025. Like Dalton, basically. 

If you bank on some other backup level QB(Minshew, Howell, etc) then you are just likely to be watching a slightly better or slightly worse version of what you are replacing. 

If you bank on a rookie QB(assuming not a first rounder) then you waste potentially valuable draft resources if you take him on Day 2 and likely are looking at low percentage success rate(this is the hail mary option).

This is why I am in favor of a legit veteran backup. Dalton, Darnold, someone along those lines.

I don't know think it's clear at all that he's going to get next year, especially if he plays like bad Bryce for the next three. That's likely the whole reason they've named him starter for the next three. Furthermore, there are other QBs in the league---namely Justin Fields---who we can acquire that just might push Bryce to the bench.

Perhaps I'm seeing this wrong, but I do not detect any finality at the QB position for 2025.

All this means is that he gets the last 3 games to show he's worth another year here. As for what the alternative is, I cannot see one available in FA or the coming draft that will be any better. I see next season as another 3 to 4 win season no matter what scrub they replace him with. The future looks dark for the Panthers.

Well yeah there are only 3 games left and Andy Dalton obviously has no future here whatsoever.

The fact our first overall pick can have awful games like last Sunday and the best response we have is "well we don't have anyone else that isn't terrible" is a sad state of affairs but that's your Carolina Panthers.

Which is why I think he probably gets another year regardless, just not a good year to draft another QB but they may draft one in later rounds or sign a FA to compete.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
