Believe he should start in the league and for us next year? Yeah for sure.

Believe in the height of his ceiling - in any way? Believe he's our franchise savior? Not yet.  He's played decently for 3/4th of a year, which isn't really enough to be sure of much. Hopeful, for sure, and looking forward to next year.

Just curious to see what the arguments are if you don't believe in him. I have never seen a turnaround like this tbh, a player that looked so lost and bad turn to a guy who looks and has the confidence of a star. 

Best turnaround since Josh Allen. Go back and watch his college play. I've never seen a QB look so wildly inaccurate and then develop into a legit NFL passer.

This. He definitely showed a lot in the final stretch of the season. Enough to actually make me excited to see him next season. He looked like a legit MVP caliber QB in the final game. That's exciting. But we need to see a lot more than just a handful of games before I'm ready to say we definitely have our long-term answer at QB. I sure hope we do.

I believe Bryce should be our starter next year. The problem now though is, which Bryce will he be? He has been the biggest draft bust in history and he has been a top half of the league QB. Will he revert back to early season 2 Bryce? Maybe. I don't think so, but who knows really.

Definitely glad he's trending in the right direction going into the offseason. He could still regress like Stroud did this year. Need to see him have a season where he puts it all together for us to feel like we finally have our "guy." Hes close but not quite there yet. I hope he gets there.

This^. I'm glad he finally started playing how he's capable of playing. He's got to be consistent with his game over a full season before I'm convinced he can be the answer at qb for a while. Now it's up to Canales to design an offense that takes advantage of what he does best. He and Dan will have to finish building a team around him as well. I do believe they can win with him.

I'm feeling much better than I was at the beginning of the year.  When he was benched, I felt sure he was done, finito, gone, out the door.  And when they didn't trade him before the deadline, I was wondering what they saw the the rest of us didn't.  But since he was put back in after Dalton's wreck injury, he has played like a completely different QB.  

He has earned the starting job for next year.  Like others, I want to see if he continues this forward trajectory or if we need to draft another QB in 2026.

Believe is a weird word for this. Believing in him does not make him better. 

Do I have confidence in him? Kinda. He did much better the last half of the season. I'm fine with going into next season with him as the starter. However, it feels like a trap at times and I really want them to go find somebody as an insurance policy that isn't 40 years old. 

What happens if he "loses his confidence again" or goes back to what he was doing. Then we are talking about drafting a QB again. OR what happens if he tears an achilles or something. He has been durable so far but you never know. 

I wouldn't go do anything crazy but I would have a competent guy behind him. There will be cheap options to pick from:

  • Drew Lock
  • Jacoby Brissett
  • Jameis Winston
  • Justin Fields
  • Carson Wentz
  • Cooper Rush

etc.

One thing Dan keeps saying is they want competition at every position and QB is no exception. Bryce has won his place on the team and to be named starter. But to stay the starter he needs to play at a high level or I hope we bring in other guys to challenge him unless they think Dalton is the guy. At which point I hope they draft a guy like in the third round who drops and at that point is BPA.  Or bring in a young guy drafted high earlier who didn't work out and let Canales work his magic.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
