Officially time to end the Bryce experiment?

[CarolinaReaper]

he was not good at all today, n i really think it came down to him not like the calls out there today. 

 

Look at the formations from his last couple games and the play style, they had nothing to lose so they start letting him loose...

No...

...but he needs a good season and this was a bad start.

Scot, I generally respect and agree with your measured responses. But we've seen this kid play 31 games now across 3 seasons and today he still made awful decision after awful decision and awful throw after awful throw, and still shows zero flashes of anything even remotely resembling a potential franchise QB. How can anyone think that this experiment isn't 100% over by now?

 

And to be clear, I'm speaking more about internal team building, not as in we need to cut/trade him now and start Dalton. We have no other options and the team has too many holes to not consider just tanking so I'm fine starting Bryce all year to continue the tank. But we went into this past offseason with Bryce as the only plan and option at QB; at this point the decision needs to be made that he can't even be in the plans for next year, not even a plan C. Front office needs to have a meeting after this game and make the decision that Bryce is done here after this year and immediately begin planning for the future at QB.

Anything this early in the season is an overreaction.  Good or bad.

Problem is Young is not good and has no backup that pushes him to do better .  Bring up Hooker from the practice squad and light a fire under Youngs butt .  Fire Evero and beg Wilkes to return .

I can't recall a single Panther player I have enjoyed watching less at QB. Bryce is like going back in time and drafting Pickles at 1-1.

Pickles was better in a less friendly league environment for QBs.

End of last season he looked great.

Today? Not so much.

I need to see better, and I need to see CONSISTENTLY better to keep him, but one week where a load of people around him looked bad isn't enough.

[FutureDynasty]

Should've benched him after his first NFL game and left him there until his contract expires at the end of next season. HE IS NOT AN NFL CALIBER PLAYER, LET ALONE QUARTERBACK.

The only thing Hooker is lighting a fire to these days is all the hype he had coming out of college.

Bryce going into the 4th today. This is the starting QB? He does this every game. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Just curious, but what are the "give him more time" clinging to?

Yeah we should bring Jimmy Clausen back. He won his last start

If it wasn't for garage time stats he wouldn't have any stats. He's the worst QB of all time in plays that actually matter towards determining seasons. He'll stay pad on blowouts and after we're eliminated from the playoffs.

[Carolina Mike]

BY is not an NFL QB. End of sentence 

[Captroop]

I'd say let him play out the season and then end it. But honestly, it's early in the year. We could probably bring in a journeyman to start and have us contend. 

Let's be real. No point tanking, Arch would never be allowed to play here.
