I wouldn’t be mad at Trevor Lawrence but unless something weird happens go get Jameis Winston Football GIF by New Orleans Saints

He's on crazy money, so it's not happening.

We need to completely flush the QB room and start again next offseason.

Give me Sam Howell and draft another one. Canales rehabbed Baker Mayfield to the extent that it got him a head coaching gig. Skill set and mentality wise, Sam Howell is basically Baker Mayfield.

I think Sam Howell has potential. He’s just turned 25 and has experience. He had a horrible offensive line in Washington and not really a good WR corp. I also wouldn’t mind Mac Jones or Trey Lance. I think Lance has potential too. Yes he looked bad in SF but he was very young and it can take a few years for Qbs to develop and the right system. I think we can give him another chance. I honestly want us to have a QB who could possibly be a full time starter and win for us,  Andy dalton isn’t that. Bryce could also improve but I rather be safe than sorry.

Howell seems like one of the more likely reclamation projects. The knock on him is he threw a lot of picks his one year playing. Most QBs do struggle in their first year, and then some of them learn and make adjustments and take care of the ball better. Maybe he could do that. He does have the other tools. 

So the case for Howell is, he can make plays. He hasn't been bad for more than one year. He can run well when needed.

I mean, maybe it's a 25% chance that he turns into a pretty good starter, but that's a better chance than most of the other options out there.

I didn’t watch much of Howell in DC but know he surprised me. Sacked more than Bryce I think, still performed pretty well I think. Has an arm. Is tough. Can probably hand the ball off just as good as Bryce can. And maybe can run better play action.

Might as well keep Bryce and keep building the team. The guys who would actually make a difference they aren't getting.

I sort of get it. But we can get what he gives us for way less than the 35-36 million the next two years will cost us, while we look.  
He’ll make someone a nice bridge QB if they have an OL.

Bryce is probably gonna be here next year. The guys being talked about wouldn't cost much to bring in. We HAVE to bring in vet competition. Not a guy signed to be a meek backup. A guy signed to come in with the mindset of taking the job. Then we still need to keep our options open in the draft.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
