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.

If he was cheap I would like to see what Canales could do with Fields. If Field could read defenses and throw with good mechanics, he has all the physical talent to be a great starter as well as backup.

5 td's in one game is beyond impressive.  He has earned his right for this to be HIS team until he shows otherwise. 

It was impressive for sure but Daniel Jones has scored 5 TDs in a game before & Nick Foles scored 7 in a game. Young looks great though and hope he keeps it up.

I agree.

What I like most about Bryce is that he has played some of his best ball during crunch time.  By the end of the season, I felt like if he had the ball in his hands in a close game, we had a good shot at winning.  And that is what the great qb's do.  I felt the same way about Cam from 2013-2017.

That being said, he has to prove he can get better, and play well consistently, just like anyone else.

Didn't say that, just saying making the pro-bowl one time doesn't mean much to me.  

It would be a good sign though. When a Panther makes the pro bowl they usually deserve it. Small market teams don't win the popularity contests too often.

Yeah, I mean I think for me, the 5 TDs was very impressive, but 21 total TDs over 12 games started indicates a decent-to-high level offensive production, especially given the circumstances (defense, mainly). So reason to be optimistic, but like you say, others have given reason for optimism before and not delivered in the longer term.

Fwiw, I could see Daniel Jones having a resurgence elsewhere - if he isn't broken anyway.

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.

pretty much where I'm at

Biggest thing that concerns me is if he comes back next season and is overthinking again. It was clear the whole 2nd half of the season he was coached to get the ball out to the first or 2nd read within 2.5 seconds, and if it’s not there throw it away or make something happen with your legs. 

Now he could get better for sure at reading defenses to move to 3-4th read but I hope he doesn’t try to go overboard. Conversely, an offseason with his receivers and some time to look over film might do wonders.

Every team has fans that doubt the QB if they haven't won a Super Bowl.  You'd have to be pretty naive to think that even Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen don't have doubters within their teams own fan bases.  Bryce will have doubters until he wins a Super Bowl here.  So the topic of the thread is stupid.

The other half of the equation is that it doesn't even matter.  Bryce is under contract and there's no impetus for changing that at this time.  There's 17+ more games (barring injury) to evaluate him, and for him to continue to improve.

There's no need to draw a line in the sand right now unless you just enjoy doing that.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
