Any well functioning team benches Bryce

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

Front office went out of their way three offseasons in a row to assure there would be no one for Bryce Young to look over his shoulder in the QB room. Just a best friend and a UDFA that isn't even practice squad worthy. And said best friend is pushing 40 and has been responsible for the most impressive passing games since 2023 and each game was with a different head coach and the same supporting cast. Yet for some reason some of these folks that want to carry water cannot understand why so very few share their POV

People here seem to forget that Canales was hired because he’s a “QB whisperer” and was supposed to fix Bryce. Benching him says Dave can’t do what he was hired to do and Tepper was wrong in hiring him. Bryce won’t be getting benched any time soon.

Canales can’t do that.  That’s already been answered.  We aren’t waiting on that question any longer. 

It’s also not about fixing it’s about fit.  It’s why Geno was “fixed”.  It wasn’t Canales it was the O he went into.   Geno was a deep ball passer and went to a deep ball O.  It’s why Geno now sucks again. 

Bryce doesn’t fit and Canales can’t fix that

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

Literally 

We gain absolutely nothing from starting Dalton. Who looked like ass in the preseason against 2’s 

Given where this roster is overall, coaching staff and team it actually makes sense to give Young this year and next while he’s still on his rookie deal. This team is going to suck next year too so no sense in setting up the next guy (if they choose to go that way) up to fail out of the gate like they did Young

Yeah it's not pooing the team after the win to be critical of the fact Bryce still hasn't shown enough to be a difference maker. He nearly lost the game in the first half and had to hang on to Dawdle going off and the defense holding on to eek the win.

Some decent throws sure but that's what you'd expect normal NFL QBs to do consistently, and Bryce is the opposite of said consistency.

Good to enjoy the win, it was a beautiful fight. But also fair to criticize one of our weak links whose first half performance nearly led this team to an insurmountable hole.

Out of 27 receiving targets we completed just two passes beyond 20 yards for the entire game. And one of those was on the final touchdown drive.

I pooped this.. 

 

Dont know if you are right or wrong, but why poo on the win like this? 

This is when they are the most vocal because they are insecure.

Sure we do.  We for the development of TMac, XL, Horn, Evans, etc all in play as well as getting the O scheme up and actually running (growing and becoming better).  All that gets delayed….which keeps us sucking longer and increases the odds of another house cleaning  

Plenty to gain but not having a dude out there that can’t run these NFL offenses

lol.  I’ve never been more confident in a Panthers take than the one of Young’s lack of physical tools and the fact he doesn’t fit this scheme (and it can’t function properly with him)

you have 5 straight weeks to open up this season on top of his career telling you that

Not getting an upgrade at the backup qb position is one of the worst offseason moves they made this year

Do you forget how he had us down by 14 points single handedly ?

D&D missed the opportunity for all of that to be a good option available to them. Anyone brought in at this point would take some time to learn the offense before they were really an option going forward.

Its Young or Andy this year brother. You might as well buckle up and hang on. Its going to be a bumpy ride.

He’s not bad enough to where the backup will be a better option but he’s not good enough to consistently win you games. BY is what he is at this point. We def need to draft a QB

From a #1 overall pick with enormous hype and comparisons to hall of famers across different sports before the draft to in his third year after turning the ball over multiple times being praised for simply "contributing" at the end in a game which featured a historic outing from the running back we signed in free agency.

And from the same folks who dog on the other offensive players for not helping Bryce Young more every chance they get
