Never lived up to his potential? I recall thinking he was pretty damn good. Why so much hate for the guy who simply played out all contracts and wanted to move on? He only has one good 5 or so year run left in him. Why hang around for a couple of rebuild yeard in Carolina? Would you? I know I wouldnt.

i think it's fair to say he didn't reach his potential here. When you see him take over football games and then get handled by a TE on a passing down you tend to think that he could be doing better.

He certainly played well and was valuable to us though. I can't believe how many people turned into scorned little schoolgirls when he left. Some people still haven't gotten over it.

I agree he didn't reach his potential, his laziness was the only thing that got in the way there. Great player of course, but he had the potential to be one of the best DEs of all time. As it is now, I'd have a hard time even putting him in the HOF. I only expect things to go downhill in Chicago.

the problem with that statement is that i dont think he went to a team that is a contender... i would agree with you if he had gone to a team like the jets, san diego or the colts, but i dont think he has a better chance of winning a superbowl in chicago than he had here in carolina. even without peppers, i still think the panthers will be better than the bears are.

It was a bad year for a highly sought after UFA, not nearly as many big money deals this year because of the CBA.

As far as going to those 3 teams, where do you think that he would fit in?

San Diego plays a 3-4 and has Merriman, Phillips, Tucker, Applewhite, and English rushing the passer.

Jets are in the exact same place, as well as the Pats.

Colts have Freeny and Mathis, and they have not even decided to "take care of their own" in the pass rush dept..

As far as where should he have gone to be a contender....well I think that NO, and Minny were the best bets, but I doubt they were going to pay what he wanted.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By CRA · Posted

      It’s going to get wild after this Sunday.  I would assume Dave has a really smart plan.   Sorta like the AZ plan last year.    After a big turnover heavy  bad game Bryce normally reels it in.  Bryce will have one of his standard 60% for 200 days and the Bryce defenders will use that as a “ I told you he is good” games.

      Bryce is a really smart kid and I'm sure he knows all the answers to the test but he hasn't been able to overcome his lack of physical tools and other DC's know this and play him accordingly. I think Bryce has good processing but when the correct read is the WR 30 to 40 yards down field and you have a defensive lineman coming at you what can he really do? He just doesn't have the arm to effectively and consistently hurt the defense and I think that's what's gonna do him in.  Pime example look at the INT versus Dallas last year when Thelien was wide open down the seam and Bryce threw it from a clean pocket and the ball was way short. Dc's watched that and knew that Bryce can't throw the ball deep.

      I'd give Bryce until the trade deadline to prove he's the answer and if he's not I'm dumping him for whatever pick we can get and I'm riding with Dalton the rest of the way.  2 and a half years is enough time to determine if he can be the QB going forward so for Bryce he needs to come out over the next couple of weeks and show that. The other players in the locker room don't wanna waste another year of their careers waiting to see if you'll ever figure it out.  If you took a poll of the players in the locker room I'm sure they'd rather lose with a respected veteran Dalton who at least gives them some creditability versus losing with Bryce who the entire media will say was let down by his supporting cast when in reality it's Bryce's physical limitations that are holding this team back.
