Hypothetically, if Young shats the bed again, what are the options? Seems to me like we have zero options.  Dalton is washed up and after him, really no one is a NFL caliber QB. The QB room is empty and putting all our chips on Young may become a disaster.

I don't believe he can ever carry the team on his own. God forbid if OLine starters go down. A real concern going into 2025.

NFL teams already have positioned their rosters with QB depth.  The young talent already are occupying backups slots.  You can find bad rookies or old men this time of year. 

We already have a bad rookie and one old man.......they are cooked if Bryce reverts back.

For this year? Nothing.

Onto the 2026 draft if it plays out like this.

Roster is missing our Pickett, Trubisky, Fields, etc tier QB that should be backing Bryce Young up.  They don’t have it….because they don’t want to deal with what it can bring

I'm fine with it. I'm done with trying to be the best bad team we can be. If Bryce regresses and looks like trash again then let's get as high in the draft order as we can get and hope for a strong crop of QBs to pick from. I don't want some decent backup that might be able to get us an extra win or two that accomplished nothing but pushing us down the draft board.

When Sanders fell to the 5th round, the team should have picked him with 140. 

"We need a backup 2026 when Daltons contract ends."....

But the intention to let him compete with the new first round QB pick 2026 if BY failed. If BY show up, could have traded Sanders for a cheerleader or whatever. 5th round is nothing. 

 

 

- There are no known potential franchise qbs on other teams depthchartz waiting to get an opportunity. Roll the dice on draft picks. Should pick a QB each year until you get it right..

Your plan B is to let nature take its course, and fall into a top 3 pick.

That is the only path if BY fails.

We did this and then drafted young over stroud.

Yeah unfortunately we've made our bed for 2025. And it looks like not only are we going to waste yet another season we aren't going to get much if any development of the young offensive players out of it so all around it's just squandering. Which is the quintessential story of the Carolina Panthers.

I'm going to preface this by saying I really hope I'm wrong. The best thing for this team is that Bryce balls out and we look like an actual professional team.

 

But I really thought the end of last season could have been the turning point for Bryce, but he looked lost today in a meaningless preseason game more than he ever did in those games. I think it's going to be another slow start and I pray they don't try to extend a qb with this track record.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
