Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

  1. 1. It's been so spirited for so long, let's draw some lines in the sand. Where do you fall on the Bryce spectrum?

    • Full-on fan - He is our Franchise QB, present & future

    • The door is still open for him being the answer
      52
    • The door is closed barring a major run
      69
    • Nope, he's not the answer - Doesn't matter what he does

Ultimately all that matters is where the Panthers' brass falls and this article is horrifying

The original post that was based on doesn't seem to be saying what that article is saying at all. It's moreso general commentary on Bryce.

Seems click baity.

The team has been slowly leaking this to folks the past 2 weeks.  Whether its in articles or podcasts this is something the panthers/teppers have been floating.  Subtle but its there.

 

They arent going to change a goddamn thing next year.  And hopefully its just the 5th year option and not a massive extension.  In short we are fuged

Nah, it feels like someone is trickling info to Jordan schutlz to plant info in the media.  The classic slow drip.  Watch for Fowler or Mike Kaye or someone from the observer to be the next.

On a scale of Clausen to Newton, I would rate Young as a solid Teddy B.

On that same chart, slot me in between Teddy and Clausen.  But more toward Teddy than Clausen. 

I think if we literally made a list of every Panther QB, that's where I think the collective group slots him.

Tim Donnelly had a good point about teams that overpay QBs.  There are a dozen or so true franchise altering $50m a year QBs.  We don't want to be in the Jags shoes of paying $50m for Tlaw when he's not proven to be that dude.

Bryce is playing like a $20-30m a year QB (on an extension/market).  Someone who can play within a system, make some plays, but isn't going to lift your team out of the dumpster.

I don't think it would be a good idea to give Bryce that kind of raise.  5th year option, today, I'm down for it.  Give it time.  If he does stink after the option, that's a much easier cap pill to swallow than the remains of a fugged up $50m contract...

If Dan and Brad sign off on that...well...it's their butts!

the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

We aren't asking the right questions.

Bryce is a decent QB. The Panthers are finding out that having the correct pieces around him is required for him to be successful. That means a good running game, competent receivers and a sturdy offensive line. Bryce can be a positive contributor in those conditions.

A couple of further improvements and this could be a playoff team. Bryce could be good enough to help the Panthers get there.

But he's not enough to get the Panthers to the Super Bowl let alone win it. 

So, the missing option in the poll is "He's good enough to help get the Panthers to the playoffs, but not the Super Bowl."

And winning the Super Bowl was supposed to be the whole point in doing that insane trade up and picking him. 
It was a big pointless fail.

He’s done ok these past few weeks. I will give him that.

 

Now, to answer the question; I’m out on him being the guy. If he turns it around, great. I’ll go with option 3. I’d still plan on moving on without him this offseason 

If he ends up being our "Alex Smith" before the next guy, I can't complain too much

the problem with that logic in 2025 is that our "alex smith" is going to want 4/5 years at 50 million per.  Its a different time then even 7-8 years ago.  You cannot cripple yourself unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is your franchise guy.  And I think even the die hard bryce guys cannot look you in the eye and say that.

 

At the absolute worst I think the best scenario is either draft a dude or sign a vet, kick dalton to the curb and let them fight it out.  No fuging way has he earned the 5th yet

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
