Really hoping Bryce takes the next step in proving he can be a franchise QB. But if he doesn't, I really hope that the Panthers can accept it and move on.

Let us pray.

It's even funnier that those were the good old days...

When Tepper promised us that the days of mediocrity were over I don't think this is what any of us had in mind. Now we long for those days of "mediocrity". LOL

In reality, we were rarely mediocre. We just ran very hot or cold. We were balling or we were sucking and not much in between.

He poo the bed in the playoffs, but true bums can't do what he did last year, no matter the talent around them.

He's somewhere between what he was with the Jets and what he was last year, where that is I'm not sure.

He is a poor man's Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yes he can get hot for stretches but more playing time reveals he is a backup QB only.

This is us in two years.  I wouldn't be making fun of the 49ers.  Purdy got that deal as Mr. Irrelevant.  We had the #1 overall pick.  Talk about a team crippling contract.  They still still have a window if their key players can stay healthy.  We haven't even reached a window yet, let alone it being open.

He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.

This is a bad take dude..... Fitzpatrick was far far more turnover prone if anything hes a less turnover prone Fitzpatrick

He isn't going to play better just because he got paid and he has already been in a SB with a great team that they lost.

They did lose it to another great team, though.

I think he's a good to really QB and he handles the system they give him very, very well. When he has his weapons on the field, the team is one of the best in the league. Without them, well, they still outperformed us.

I think we'll see him and them in the playoffs regularly over the next five years, maybe another run for the trophy. If so, money well spent. If not, they're no worse off than say Dallas or Atlanta, Cleveland or New York (take your pick).

He is a good enough QB in a prefect sytem for him. The problem with the playoffs is that good usually isn't good enough. Trying to build a perfect team around good enough QB is more miss than hit historically, and good luck keeping that together if you'relucky enough to hit. They are a perinial playoff team for sure but they have been that with a top D and oodles of talent well before they drafted Purdy so nothing new. They have always been a QB away from getting over the hump of being a playoff team vs a SB winner. No real difference since Smith was there. Still no SB and now it looks like nothing has changed but the odds getting worse for them.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
