No victory Mondays.  I love DB.  This is the attitude we’ve been missing as a team.

So who is the backup qb?

The right attitude. I remember he was trying to keep folks level headed after shutting out ATL. The following we we get blown out by the Patriots. No victory Mondays until we can be a consistent winner is a good idea.

Any Bryce defender on the coaching staff or in the front office is going to be secretly rooting for us to get utterly destroyed if he is out for the game.

The worst case scenario for any of them who still want to be starting Bryce is for it to be like when Dalton came in for him his rookie year.  If he comes in and lights it up and we look like a real life NFL passing offense, it's going to be really tough to still sell Bryce to the fans or other players.

The Panthers keeping Dalton around to continue to be the #2 is likely why they don't have to worry much about that ever really happening.

I think that's why they will be worried, as there is no reason for us to have a working passing game with Dalton in there, so if he does, selling people on Bryce becomes that much harder.

It's not like bad QB's have good games out of nowhere, especially when it's a backup getting a start, it just happens sometimes and there's no reason it can't happen for Dalton, especially if the Bills focus on our run game and don't prep for him that much.

Zero current evidence either way

[NorthTryon]

Fingers crossed on a Dalton vs. Raiders last year type game against Buffalo. With a healthy dose of Rico against that vaunted 4-2-5 weak run defense we do have a shot!

Exactly zero people on the coaching staff or front office are hoping the Panthers get utterly destroyed. This is why people can't take the constant Bryce bashing seriously. Get a clue

Bills are 31st in rushing defense. I would be cool with trotting out Hooker and running the option all game.

[Jackie Lee]

Any qb with our run game and current defense can do what he's been doing. Maybe not Hooker because he went to Tennessee but you could sign Heinicke tmrw and get the same production as Bryce next game lol.

I do not believe there is anyone at any significant level of the organization (fo/staff) that wants this team to lose on Sunday at this point to make Bryce look good. Early in his career he was coddled, yes. But we are still in the playoffs and losing would cause a blow while beating the bills would be amazing 

And realistically nobody has to worry about The Rusty Rocket really going on a tear, even if we'd like to

If Bryce is out I'll like to see what Dalton can do with this offense the last time he was called up he didnt have much to work with. 

A disgruntled Diontae Johnson and old man Theilen. 

We have the deepest receiver room we've had in a long time.

Some good young TE's.

And strong rushing attack with Rico (should be Rb1) and Chuba.

Good offensive line depth. 

Say what you want when Dalton came in the passing game started pushing the ball down the field, not so much with Bryce.

Young stats: 15-25 for 138 yards and his two longest pass plays went to Chuba for 26 yards and Rico for 17 yards. 

Dalton stats: 4-7 for 60 yards he eclipsed almost half of Youngs yardage in just 4 pass completions. 

We have outside weapons we need to be able to keep defenses honest in order to make this offense work.

They have coddled him up to this date lol. They brought in zero competition this offseason. He obviously needs to be pushed at a competition level but it's just been him as the starter and Dalton laying back getting paid as the emergency backup. I wouldn't run a qb room like that personally
