What's the point of playing St. Pierre?

I don't see the logic behind this. If only to save Fox's job with a possible win? We are 1-8, we are out of the playoff race. Shouldn't we be building our young QBs by getting them valuable experience rather than playing some scrub who was a third stringer for Baltimore a while ago?

This logic is just beyond me. Anyone else feel the same way?

What was the point of having John Fox coach the team this year? There is no point to anything the Panthers do.

Not having to pay his salary and another coach's in preparation for an uncapped year. It's a much better move than starting St. Pierre. The Foxy move at least had our future in mind.

What's the point? Armanti is too small, and Pike sucks horribly. There is next to no difference between the three, and one isn't even supposed to be a QB. The other will hold clipboards for life. So that leaves one suck ass fool who has at least been in the game before and knows a thing or two. So Fox went with that guy.

I mean really. You sign a career backup to start. 1st start in what 8 years...really? Why? We are the laughing stock of the NFL. Who cares what people "think" of Pike and Edwards. Why do you take them and don't give them a chance..but you sign someone off the streets and let the start. This just hurts my head...its silly and I am tired of watching this team play. I love this team and so grateful we have them but this poo has to stop.

I think the answer is: holy hell did we draft for crap in 2010.

Pike is better than St. Pierre. From what I've seen anyway. Edwards should be given a chance. What do we have to lose?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
