And Bryce might have to play next week if Andy can't go or they need to pick someone up quick

I think Bryce needs to play again next week anyway. He looks great in training camp where people are barred from hitting him.

He looks meh in preseason games where second stringers are allowed to take shots at him.

I'm feeling pretty antsy about his capabilities. We can't wait each year for him to kick in during week 8.

Especially not with another "defense" by Ejero. Only DC in the league that doesn't believe in tackling practice. Just hands the players a pamphlet and hopes that they read it.

I wouldn't overly worry about it, TBH. We will likely know what we have by about halfway through the season if not earlier. 

Even had Bryce been tearing it up, I would be preaching the same thing. It's preseason so the takeaways are lesser than normal. 

Just let it play out.

This exact thing has been posted for the past 6ish years.  At some point you guys need to realize that preseason does carry some semblance of importance

It isn't relevant if it does or doesn't have importance(don't really believe it has a major significance personally). The offseason is basically over. This team just is what it is. 

Look, if it is a disaster, we have weeks to wail and gnash our teeth.

It's fine. Just another day as a Tepper Panthers fan.

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.. 

Bryce is too fragile to have a competent backup challenging him.

Either Bryce plays well enough to keep us from drafting a QB or he doesnt. If we are picking high in the draft I dont see a scenario where we arent evaluating the top QBs.

Hard to say. Doesn't necessarily project as a strong QB class early. 

The biggest reason for panic if Bryce flops this season would be Dan and DC trying to save their jobs, most likely. So perhaps they reach next draft or offseason.

What the fug is he doing in the NFL if he can't handle a challenge. Bunch of bullshit.

Dalton was ranked the 3rd best backup by PFF going into this season.

People just make up shitty narratives and people actually believe it.

No wonder this country is in the shape it is...

Does anyone understand context or critical thinking anymore?

You're literally just making up nonsense.

Brother.

The New Orleans Saints knew Andy Dalton was washed and barely backup worthy two whole years ago. We got to see what Andy Dalton looked like with more than 1 start under his belt last year too. It resulted in some of the worst whoopings in years. Why some of you are still running from the truth like this is bordering on cult like.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
