This is just crazy.

I'm not saying Dalton wowed his last outing, but that's not what Dalton does.  Dalton is essentially a game manager at this point, and his stat sheet didn't look that bad.  We just didn't seem to want to win, but that could have been play calling.

I am all for upgrading positions, but I don't think backup QB is a crazy need.  I tend to be optimistic, though.

If we are relying on Dalton at any point long term in this season, do we really want to keep winning?

I don't think it's a huge need either honestly. Backup QB really only matters for contenders. Which is exactly why I'd just like to clear up the cap space. I'd be fine with paying Dalton if he wasn't starting to look like straight trash but I mean... it is what it is. At this point I'd rather have the cap space.

Dalton was at 68.4% completion (higher than his career average) and you want him hung for it.

Hung? Bruh. This man has $113 million in career earnings. He's living his best life and we are helping him. Legitimately some of these convos are too reminiscent of the Jerry Richardson just happy to be here years. But at least back then we had a winning season almost every other year. It's weird some of you are going to such lengths to talk about killing someone when all anyone wants is a QB who isn't cheeks.

I just looked up his stats and it looks like he is doing terrible in the CFL too.

Last two games he had a 54.1% and a 42.9% completion rate.  3 interceptions and 1 TD.

Career means nothing. Who are you right now? That's all that matters. Lord knows the Panthers have plenty of history giving guys career achievement contracts.

I don't think he was ever signed for his ability to save us.  He was paid because he clicks with Bryce.

Dalton was fine when we extended him.  He is fine now.  He is certainly better than PJ statistically right now.

Moreso trying to replace Plummer, but I guess I should have said QB3

Dude is talking about replacing him with PJ, who has terrible stats in a lesser league.

I would consider that an insult if I were Dalton.

I still think we could replace Plummer with a better option than PJ that would also be cheap.  Plenty of guys didn't make it out of the draft and Dan Morgan seems to have a knack for finding UDFA dawgs.

That's one game.  I admit he didn't wow anyone, but there are a lot of factors.  He was decently accurate.  We weren't throwing to win, and that could be play calling.

He could also just not care that much because it is preseason and he has the experience to know that.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
