DITTO-

I thinky he Got "Williamed"

(means you sit the bench way to long spoiling great talent)

Seriously. I mean when they called his number, rare as it was, he got open and caught the ball, but you can only do so much getting put in like 5 or 6 plays a game, and Jake doesn't spread the ball around to anyone else but Smith or Moose, and he'll force it to them before he looks Jarrett's way (or anybody else for that matter)

This kid's looking like a bust and it's not really his fault. He didn't drop any passes thrown to him but it's not like he got that many chances anyway, he was inactive for a lot of games.

That's the tough part about evaluating starters who underachieve (especially WR's and TE's). Is it because Delhomme isn't throwing to them? Or are they not getting open and doing their part? It's hard to judge without the advantage of game film to review it all.

Draft reports all stated that Barnridge could develop into a great receiving TE. I've always wanted a damn Panther's TE in the Delhomme era to have over 500 yards receiving. I hope we can get one in the next couple years.

Jarrett has all the physicality that screams possession receiver. Honestly, 6"4' and 219? Comeon! We need many more balls to him. Especially when it comes to short routes. Get him running those nice little 6-7 yard routes. If our running game continues as well as it did this year, we really only need Jarrett to consistently make those short catches and with that, the chains will move easily. Play him under Moose and Smith. I hate to say it, but look at what Kurt Warner did all year with those little dink and dunk passes. That crap makes 2nd and 3rd down insanely easy.

Not really along the lines of more opportunities, but I desperately hope Godfrey develops into a top-tiered FS. He had some big blown plays this year.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
