Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

ANd you have to look at the financials--he will be in line for a $50m per contract--we can't be on the fence then.

Here is the rub.  For Bryce to be good, you need an elite OL, solid RB (s), and quite an investment at WR.   Best to have a D that keeps the opposition under 21 points per game.  

Not sure we can afford a mediocre qb who is not dual threat and completes a low percentage of passes that are usually pretty short.  

His processing is not quick.  His arm is not average.   He is not an alpha.  

He would need to bring other things to the table that are not easily replaced.  Jalen Hurts is the example of this, but he brings you a dual threat, the unstoppable QB sneak, and leadership intangibles.  So he makes up for being a lackluster passer.

We are reading the tea leaves. Right now we don’t know how many games he will miss. He left after the best 6 best consecutive quarters he has played. 
He couldn’t have drawn it up better to get the benefit of the doubt from people that seem inclined to give it to him.

As a person who never wanted him, I couldn’t draw up a worse scenario for the offseason. 
He gets the benefit odpf the doubt without earning it by showing us what we need to see as this season plays out. 
 

I guess I am clutching pearls but as I said, we have been abused. I can’t help myself. 

I think we all talk ourselves into a worst case scenario with everything we’ve seen. But sometimes it’s overdone - I equate this to when people worried that we wouldn’t be able to sign any meaningful FAs or Cam to a second contract because of Jerry Richardsons pie chart drawing that insulted players or that halfway during Kelvin Benjamin’s rookie year we had people worried about how we would extend/resign him in 3 years with how much money we had tied up in the defense. Panic moves are what got us into most of this mess, no sense in doing that again.

And we are only halfway through this season and have 7 months until we have to make the decision. So much will change between now and the end of the season both with the panthers and with the rest of the league. 

It's poo or get off the pot year for Bryce and the Franchise.  They need to know by the end of the season what they intend to do with Bryce cause it will shape our offseason.

yards, fumbles, completion percentage, wins?  Why cherry pick stats?

It does feel like BY will be extended at this point. He's been propped up since day 1 on Mint St. 

Guys like DB and Jaycee gotta be rolling their eyes at the prospect

Has Bryce shown enough to be paid 30 mil?

Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.

Look, guys....this horse has been beaten enough. CJ struggling doesn't mean Bryce is good or even better. 

Yes it can raise questions about the grass always being greener but regardless of which of those horses your bandwagon is hitched to, you need big improvements in play. Period.

The one thing you can say for CJ is that at least he had a full season of showing elite play. We are still waiting on that for Bryce between benching, injuries, etc.

I didn't express a single opinion.   

I shared stats of the top 2 QB's  of their draft.  

How you spin it is on you.
