Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

Most of us see it, Bryce Young isn’t getting it done.

Whether it’s the turnovers, the body language, or the lack of progress, it’s starting to feel like we’re watching a slow-motion bust unfold.

So here’s the challenge: you’re Dan Morgan for the week. What’s your move?

You’ve got:

  • A locker room that’s losing confidence
  • A fanbase that’s fed up
  • ~$17M in cap space
  • Draft picks
  • A QB on a rookie deal who might not be the answer

Do you ride it out and hope for a turnaround? Draft a new QB and start fresh? Bring in a vet to push Bryce? Blow it all up and rebuild?

Let’s hear your plan—cap, morale, draft strategy, long-term vision.

1. Extend him

2. Pick up the 5th year option basically tying him to the team for 2 more years

3. Trade him

 

Bryce has run out of runway.

So you'd wait until AFTER the season to address this?

Not resign Dalton and get any vet that could run DC's offense this offseason that is healthy to be the #2. Winston, Jones, literally anyone not semiretired.

They didn’t just like they didn't find another option at DC. There isn't anything worth trying to save with these people. Let them do their thing the rest of the year and then we can talk about who we hope replaces them before the Teppers disappoint again.

I think you play Young as long as you can, he will get us a top pick. Players and fans will be pissed off but Morgan really put us in a bad place and there’s not a lot of options.

Absolutely trade Young after the season. Morgan should be let go too for creating this clusterfug.

Do not pick up the 5th year option which means 2026 would be his last season with the team unless he suddenly begins to ball out for the next two seasons (highly unlikely). He'd be free to walk after 2026 unless we decided to TAG him for 2027 (again, highly unlikely). Bryce isn't the type of player who could leave this team and leave you with the feeling "we are going to regret letting a player of his caliber go".

Draft a QB within the within the 1st two rounds of the 2026 draft no matter what happens from here out.

If I were Dan, I would give him a few more games then if performance didn’t improve, he would be benched. I would trade him before the deadline to prevent pivot back to him and start Dalton. When/if Dalton ran out of gas I would start a young guy and see what that does. I would want to make the storyline all season that we will be in the QB market and progress was inhibited by the previous GM’s pick that we tried to make successful but it was not possible.

1. No

2. No

3. I think this is the best possibility with the best possibly outcome. 

I assume in this scenario we are drafting high enough to get a QB because the vet options this off-season are bad.

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
