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.

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.

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.

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.

For this year? Nothing.

Onto the 2026 draft if it plays out like this.

Yeah if Young shits the bed we ride it out and draft his replacement.

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

Dalton and Plummer’s play is affecting the panthers actually getting looks at offensive players. We say “no depth” but how do we know when they can’t complete the passes down field. 
 

Tmac broke Stingleys ankles but Dalton didn’t maneuver in the pocket to make that throw.

Bryce sucked 

He played 4 drop backs and hit Sanders in the numbers on 3rd down.

After he put up 6 TDs on their 1st string in the joint practice.

This place is goofy sometimes...

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.

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.
