Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

The Bryce situation is the most ironic in NFL history. A guy that came from a king's ransom deal to be the distributor and centerpiece is actually the luxury asset

Cosell is great and correct in this case. Just as interesting was the next subject and the Dick Vermeil quote (when you take a guy 1 the whole building must be focused on making him succeed) and how the Titans were doing a bad job of that. We surrounded a complimentary piece with a joke of a wr corp, oline, coach. LOL.  30M is too expensive for a complimentary piece.

Can't wait to see the Bryce stans blaming our RBs when they aren't going for 200+ yards to carry Bryce and he regresses.

He'll probably be fine this week against the Jets but yeah then things are gonna get real.

But we're not talking about 90% of QBs in NFL history. We're talking about a guy who we traded a fortune for to draft #1 overall. It's about whether or not we pick up his 5th year option. Any thoughts of a long-term contract should be completely off the table. You can honestly get Bryce Young level play from a journeyman vet backup and it'll cost a lot less than his 5th year option.

Agree with your post 99%. The only point I’ll make is I don’t care about sunk cost anymore. If we hadn’t traded a thing for him and gotten him in whatever round it doesn’t matter to me because 3 years in and he’s simply just not the guy.
 

Just my .02

I wouldn't care about it if I didn't think it would play into the Panthers' decision making process. It is what it is. We made a colossal mistake. I just hope we don't allow the hesitation to admit that colossal mistake lead to another one.

Didnt watch the video, but I agree Bryce is 100% a complimentary piece right now. No argument there. But to be fair, there are only a handful of QBs that aren't. Lamar. Pat. Josh. Maybe Stafford. Herbert. Maybe Dak? Though not sure how good he would have looked last week without Pickens. A franchise QB can be a complimentary piece.

You cant be concerned with cost of the trade anymore.   That deal is done and has been done.

It’s a team game so yeah water is wet

So are 90% of QBs in NFL history 

and they don’t get paid and teams don’t keep playing them.  They bounce around rosters as depth…..

He will probably be fine if Rico does nuts.  But if not, Bryce operates on about a coin flip scenario of being horrible any given Sunday pretty much regardless of opponent.

The Jets are better at run stuffing than stopping the pass, as are we.  Both teams struggle to throw the ball with consistency.  It’s gonna come down to who makes more plays, Bryce or Fields?

This game could end up as a kicker’s showcase.
