Any well functioning team benches Bryce

[The Lobo]

The next two games are cowboys and jets, I cannot believe how light this schedule has been to start the year. Bryce has no excuse the next two weeks.

It's going to be a long season. People here have already made up their minds and are staunchly in their respective corners regarding the QB. All the bluster about agendas and bias and hating is just noise. Unfortunately I feel like it's only a matter of time before we run into another buzzsaw like we did in New England. Just how it goes being a Panthers fan. But for today I am appreciative of Dowdle our young receivers and rookies like Etienne and Mitchell and for the defense as a whole for stepping up. It's good to see those guys gain some confidence.

I think the thing is it's fine to win games where your QB doesn't need to perform particularly well.

The issue is that his best games this year have been those games.

And we gotta decide what to do with him after this year... Which, I think we know.

And I am fine with moving on after this year if he doesn’t drastically improve or drafting some competition. It’s the takes of calling for benching now that is just so mind blowing for a fan to post

It's not like he just had a 23/27 game with 4 TDs or something. He's been mediocre at best.  He did just enough this game to not lose and ride a crazy rushing performance.

The example of the problem is accurately seen looking at last season.   He is so bad and lacks so many tools…..and we have skewed the bar so much you could see improvement this year.  I mean he has been bad every single week without fail.  So he could “improve”.  Just like last year…and it screws us because we have a dude playing QB who can’t do NFL basics.  Then you got people claiming he improved

Panthers won, heck yeah!

Did Bryce prove that he's the dude?  Nope.  He was a big reason we were down 17.  Two early turnovers again.  The first fumble was stupid.  The tipped ball wasn't a great throw.

But he was also part of the team that didn't give up.  So there's a little star for him.

Bryce continues to be in a prove it year.  So far, not great.  Not good.  Subpar.

We just won. Some of yall love to be miserable.

I’ve been listening to the radio after these two wins. Feels good to hear happy optimistic voices from the crew.

Bro you’re acting like we have legitimate competition waiting on the bench.  It makes zero sense you’re delusional

Dalton looked better in limited action... So...

Dalton might be washed but he functions as a QB is supposed to in these offenses to work…..that’s why every year when he appears he sets the passing highs on the year.

and you can’t have a well run org where you have a unique Bryce exception for performance at this point

Everyone knows the Panthers need a long-term answer at qb. But you don't bench him for this game and certainly not for Andy after bouncing back from that 1st quarter. The team can continue to look for a qb for the future.

Dalton is good for one or two games. He is a good change of pace but way worse for the entire season. We saw that last year

Checks notes.   Sub 200 yards.  2 turnovers.   Shitty completion percentage
