76 replies and not a single person has a legitimate answer on who they would bring in. 

BY will make 9M next year regardless of what happens so he will be here next year. It will cost around 26M to sign him to his fifth year extension. The real question is who would you bring in instead of paying him. Who is or will be available?

Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Kenny Picket, Sam Howell, Geno Smith. Are any them going to make the Panthers significantly better?

Brock Purdy and Daniel Jones may become available but neither will be cheap. What would you pay for them - assuming you don't sign Young to 26M

Cousins is too old, Wllson is done, Pickett isn't any better than Young, Geno might work well with Canales again but he's not going to get us any further in the playoffs.  The only one I would consider is Howell because he's young and had a decent season with the Commanders.  Of course he'd have to clean up his interception rate but otherwise I'd like to see what Canales does with him.

I'm not sold on Howell being better. He was let go pretty quickly by the Commanders and was considerably worse than Young with turnovers

Who would that be. 

Tough to say who will actually be available, but Geno Smith potentially. Anthony Richardson potentially. Smaller guy, but Minshew.

It was his only season he started and the Commanders wanted Jayden Daniels. 

He threw for nearly 4000 yds.  He has the tools just need some QB whispering. Plus he can make all the throws.

If we are looking for a QB that isn't going to break the bank, Howell IMO is it.

Richardson? The man is another permanent IR list player.  Can't play QB if he can't stay on the field.

Geno Smith isn't have a very good season so far so I'm not sure how much better we would be with him. He's also on a 33M contract now so he might not be cheaper than Young @25M. Richardson is interesting but I doubt he could beat out Young. And just no thank you to Minshew.

Do you think that Canales is working with Hooker.  The man has some great tools? I realize he's just a practice squad guy but maybe he's learning.

If they could bring him in as competition and he could beat out Young, I would be fine with it. Isn't he local as well

You're making my point.  You want this and that but when it comes to making a decision on who you are going to replace Young with, you can't give me a player better. 

Who tf can give you a better option for next year in the middle of the current season?? Be forreal.

Though so. It would be interesting. 

Given how strongly Young is hated around here with the fact Howell local, I bet he could play like crap and everyone would still absolutely love him. lol

He's a question I would like an opinion on.

Do you think Canales is sold on Bryce?  That's really the question everyone should be answering.  

Hell no is the answer
