If Bryce doesn’t produce, we moving on?

IMO its in Bryce's hands. Carolina has a top 15 pick in 2026 draft, then they choose QB, if not Bryce played well enough to keep them out of drafting high in the 1st again.

15ish is like an 8 win team.  That would be the best Panther season in like 8 seasons at that point.

Agreed. Even if Bryce plays out and we have a chance to get a good rookie QB, you take it.  It's too important a position to not have a good backup/future starter at because you have a starter.  injuries happen, contract negotiations fall through, etc.

That makes absolutely no sense when you have your starting QB on a rookie contract.  You don't invest another first round pick in a QB.  Unlike other positions, you can't play them together.

Haha so you think we're a QB away from being a playoff team?   Like someone already said if we're picking top 15 we're a .500 team and that's a successful season in my book for a roster that's still rebuilding.  Even if Bryce balls out, chances are we lose more than we win because our roster just isn't there yet.   Don't let the post draft hype blind you.

All I am going to say is this. No one plays like he did at the end of the last season and its a fluke. Kid was straight balling out there. You heard it every week from the opposing team. Doubt if you want but BY9 is here to stay, you should find something else to talk about.

I mean, the NFL is full of QBs who have put together a couple games.    Young wasn’t even playing on fire/balling really.  It was pretty average play.  It was just stark constrast to what he did prior.

can’t paint Bryce as any sort of certainty IMO yet

 Matt Moore was doubted after 2009.  People should still have doubts about Bryce.

I agree.  Foles is just funny because he did it during the playoffs.

They should.  People can rah rah all they want, it's not going to change how he performs.  All he has proven so far is that he deserves another chance this year.  If he comes out looking like he did last year he will be benched and replaced in next years draft.

I still think the O and talent sort of runs counter to his natural style of play.   So, I still think we have a fit issue more than any other.
