TBH, I’m in the minority, but I don’t think he should’ve been given this season.  This QB class of 2025 was not great, but Sanders would’ve been an ideal developmental QB to push Bryce, and in the case that he flops again (which I expect), he could’ve stepped in and probably done really well as a rookie.

Sanders is a strong personality to be a backup. I think that is why he dropped in the draft as well. You draft Sanders with the gameplan of him eventually becoming the starter. I don’t think we are there yet with Bryce. I wouldn’t have been against Ewers later in the draft though. Could be a decent backup with a bit of a ceiling.

That's funny. I thought pre season didn't matter. Isn't that right?? 

The scoreboard doesn't matter. But how your starters look and the overall level of preparedness does.

You don't have to get mad and just start switching up arguments to try to find something that will land.

My point from the beginning here was that you're not likely to find immediate help for your pass rush in the draft unless you're lucky enough to be drafting VERY high and have a potential generational type talent in the draft. That's it, that's all. Immediate impact pass rusher help in the draft is a long shot.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
