Now boarding the Tony Pike Bandwagon...

The more I read up on this kid the more I like him. Has a real soft touch on the ball when he needs to drop it in a tight spot. I have read a few sites mentioning his "Brett Favre" like toughness, playing through pain and injury. Won the Johnny Unitas award and has show blue collar work ethic.

Seems like more of a leader than Jimmy Jam and has had to scrap for every bit of attention he has gotten while leading Cinci to an undefeated season.

All Aboard!

He has allot of potential, just needs to put some weight on or he's gonna get snapped in half.

He's 6'6" and 235 pounds. That's pretty big. Besides, he won't have to worry about getting snapped in half while he's holding a clipboard.

The question is, can he be as worthy of your obsession with backup QBs as Chris Weinke was?

Well, one thing is for certain, any of our three guys could step in and perform better than Jake did last season. ;)

Well, he's certainly got the looks to hold a clipboard, which is a point in his favor. Have you noticed how the Observer runs his picture any time they can, instead of Clausen's?

But we're the Panthers, and we play our goofy looking guys while the dreamboats ride the pine. Sorry bud...

    • 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.
    • 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.
