 Because Bryce likes having Dalton around. Seems to be a good mentor to him. Plus, why replace a mediocre backup QB with another mediocre QB? If BY goes down we’re screwed regardless of who our backup is  

That's not true at all.  And a 3rd year #1 draft pick captain of the team should not need a mentor

I don't think this says anything about Bryce. I think it was already obvious we're going into next year with Bryce as starter, but if he doesn't silence all questions this year I think the plans at QB may shift, especially if we have a high pick in 2026. I suppose I still wouldn't rule out Cam Ward this draft but that seems highly highly unlikely.

Dalton is a solid backup at that price whether it's Bryce or someone else in the room with him. Honestly, not even a terrible bridge starter either if Bryce sucks next year and we move on but don't want to throw a rookie QB in '26 to the wolves.

Panthers re-signed QB Andy Dalton to a two-year, $8 million contract with $6 million in guarantees.
Dalton briefly started for the Panthers in 2024, finishing with a 989/7/6 passing line in five starts before a car accident left him out long enough for Bryce Young to take the reins again. Young shockingly re-established himself as a starting option going forward down the stretch, leaving Dalton to the backup duties. Over his last five seasons as a backup, Dalton has thrown for 7,906 yards, 49 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions in 35 starts. He’ll turn 38 in October. He is probably a mid-level backup quarterback at this point in his career, but Dalton is now at an age where a potential regression is firmly in play each season. This is a fine contract for that level of player.

Yep, all in on Bryce

    • The current OL issues were always my concern when we made the panic FA signings that catapulted our salary cap allocation to the unit to the top of the league. For a brief time we did our victory lap but as we have learned as Panthers fans it takes more time to form a full picture. We are really not that much better off and we should have invested in the unit via the draft. There are many things wrong with this franchise currently. The defense is something we've discussed extensively. Evero is not the guy he was sold to be and we hilariously forced him to stay which has blown up in our faces. But for all the talk of how historically bad the defense was last year the reality of the matter is salary cap wise we are amongst the bottom of the league investment wise on that side of the ball for the year so everything flips back to the offense and rightfully so. Really the only thing going for us against the Dolphins is that it's a home game. But my expectations for the offense are more of the same. Even we score on the first drive it just feels like a matter of time. When we played the Dolphins in 2023 we actually hopped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter then they took us out to the woodshed for the second half. We'll see how ugly it gets this go around.
    • Even with Hill gone...they still play with a lot of speed and up tempo.... too much for Everos monkeyazz defense.  I really look for them to smoke us.... bad.
    • The passing game simply stinks Pass blocking is not good.  We have a solid unit but we're not the best if you're just looking at the pass game.  They noted our RG depth (although we've been weird without bringing in BC) Receiver blows.  Need to spread out and be in gun to help Bryce, but McMillan has been the only guy worth anything Unexplosive, juiceless, although they concur McMillan is an absolute stud/he's a hit. 3 throws on the entire season less than 15 air yards that is credited "explosive" - no YAC.  No quickness or speed.        Bryce Young is averaging 4.0 air yards per attempt off play action. FOUR!  No play action game at all - doesn't see well (Dead last in the NFL) The team doesn't dictate to opposing defenses- I.E. you seek out matchups to take advantage of.  Understand how to move your guys, manufacture opportunities.  We don't play chess.  We go out, and run a play.  No nuance to our offensive scheme. Icky has been dissapointing this year.  He'll always be solid in the run game, but a top-10 LT? Nope.   "When losing David Moore in 2025 is a big deal..." lol If we can't get it going versus the Dolphins defense this week, then we're in for a serious problem.   What I think you can take out of this likely redundant video for many here - This week is a huge benchmark.  If this offense is still sh*t, then it's time for DT to consider a big move sooner rather than later. If this game is an indictment on the offense more than the defense, do you have enough reason to fire Evero as a transitional move? Canales' isn't firing Idzik.  Does Bryce get benched if its on the offense? What's the move if the offense sucks?
