If we bring in a top 10 QB Bryce is pretty much done. 
No potentially take over. Bryce will be his backup.  

Bryce will be traded in that scenario.

 I mean, Clausen stayed but he wasn't a former top pick.  Fields, Wilson, Lance, Pickett, Rosen, Haskins, etc.  Not sure any top pick can really can stay once a team moves on to the next top pick.  Gotta to think Bryce would be shipped off.

There are only 3 options going into 2026 for Bryce and the panthers

1. Pick up the 5th and go from there

2.Extend him

3. Trade him and draft his replacement

 

Year 3 is absolutely make or break for him in regards to his career with the panthers.  And for the record I hope he balls out.   Starting again with a rookie qb would just be a ruthless cycle and basically starting from square 1.......again

I saw the Panthers post some stories on instagram during training camp about a Make a Wish kid who wanted to be a quarterback. Bryce had him in the huddle with him and I legitimately had a moment where I wasn't sure who was who. Bryce really is a small person to be in the NFL.

decent odds the present cycle continues.   Where you might not draft the QB and go the random available vet route like we tried in the Teddy or Darnold/Baker route.   We most certainly can't afford to move up in a draft go get "our guy".   The roster is still paying the price for that type move last time.

Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

Yeah but at least that QB would be not short. 
I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low. 
Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

Young needs to be the reason they win vs they reason  they lose …starting in Jacksonville 

thats what rd 1 qbs are supposed to do

…also cant continually cut down the playbook to cover for  his  short comings 

for the franchise, this opening game against Jacksonville is huge  
 

They need to win it

should they lose, i don't think anyone is   up for hearing:

‘it is a long season’

‘We  will go back to work’

’they did some good things but didn't finish’

‘Im sure, insert player’s  name’ would like to have that one back’

Honestly, i hope for the best with Young but if someone is available in the draft with less physical issues and upside,  do it before another year is wasted and make young earn his position
