Bryce Young will have a Brees career arc. I doubt it will be with the Panthers.

sunk cost fallacy is only true IF it is CLEAR that changing course is more beneficial. If Bryce gets back to playing like he did after getting benched last year, and sooner rather than later, than I am not so sure it is.

Bryce in the second half of last season was one of the least productive qbs in the league, and even his four game “hot stretch” to end the season included included hideous performances against Tampa and Dallas.

Not a popular notation around here I know. 

Id you thought it was clear from last year, and you now see that maybe it isn’t, why would you make the same assumption just because finishes the same as 2024?

Wouldn’t that be not learning from the first mistake? 

I don’t see a thing negative about year four being a contract year. We do it with players all the time. Prove it deal. 
Dowdle this year.

Thats not what a sunk cost is.  And this misconception that bryce was balling out the last ten games is just beyond comical at this point.  He averaged 200 yards and 60% completion.   Lets say he gets back to that level, there is still no way in hell you exercise the 5th

If Bryce is back next year with no competition I don’t think I can watch it.

If Bryce is back next year, that means we picked up the 5th and that also means Andy dalton is here for at least one more year.  Unless bryce turns into mahoomes we are in a really shitty situation

You know that guy who didn’t complete a third down pass for nearly three quarters against the eagles?

if he gets back to that level of play you can’t let him walk.

This is incredibly insulting to Drew Brees. 

Since when were we concerned about insulting Brees around here

I wish I could compile a list of players this place has deemed to be “trash” and they went on to have good careers. One name that comes to mind is Derrick Brown… you know, THAT Derrick Brown who is now one of the best DT’s in the League. This place loves to hate their players, I don’t get it.

I tell you what you make a list of trash guys that turned out good and I will match that with trash guys that you know are actually trash.  You first

Well Derrick Brown's dont get 45M AAV contracts and have to have half the teams resources spent to make them JAG comparable. Sorry, but QBs are a category all their own.

The level where he drove down for the winning TD against Philly only to have Legette drop it, the level where he drove down for the winning score against the Chiefs only to have the defense give up a score in the final seconds to lose the game, the level where he took the Bucs to OT and, again, had the Panthers in a winning position only to have Hubbard fumble the ball in OT. Yes, that is the level I am looking for.

Ah yes everyone on the roster exists solely to either make Bryce look better or be his scapegoat.

Lmao the eagles game where only one pass was thrown. 

If one throw is worth a whole career then he also threw this one in the same game.

taken in totality his career is much closer to the legette hospital ball than the one I completion Bryce defenders can’t let go.

The guy implied he was trash against the Eagles. I simply pointed out he was good enough to have won the game. Same as the other games. he payed well enough in each of those games to have beaten them all. This is about his performance in those game. I simply showed he had the Panthers in position to win the game. 

The sad part is even though they were in position to win every one of those games because of Bryce, they lost them all to no fault of his own, still everyone here will argue all day long those losses are all on him.
