I think it also has to be factored in how much else has been spent to support him. It's not just the picks to get him, but an obscene amount just to try and build an offense to see if he's even serviceable as a starter. We've spent 3 years worth of picks and resources for results that would have been cut in training camp if he hadn't been an overall number 1. 

we must give up 48 picks and DJ Moore for Bryce.....the bright side is Bryce will save us from having to spend and invest a lot into the O and it can all be put into the rest of the team.  Panthers proceed to spend all their picks on drafting skill talent to make Bryce not look bad and have to go out and spent more money on the OL than anyone else in the NFL LOL. 

Total con job by Fitterer.

He tried to smash a square peg into a round hole and all it left us was splinters

Honestly he’s not as bad as leaf simply because he should never of had the expectation of being able to do play the position.

unlike Bryce, Leaf succeeded on a college team without all world talent at every position. He also had all the physical tools you could possibly ask for. I will never forget seeing him play the panthers in 2000, getting pulled down from behind in the pocket from like the chargers 35, and hitting a coveted wide receiver in stride in the air for the touchdown. Absurd pass.

He just went to one of the worst possible situations for him to be in. The chargers medical staff got him hooked on pain meds too.

he also signed the largest signing bonus ever in the nfl up to that point. Imagine how much worse the Bryce situation would be if we’d had to give him like 90 mil guaranteed

I mean the Colts owner is literally in a headset on the field w/ a notepad lol.  I still think the bulk of the bad decisions are squarely made by the bad people he hires.  Not him telling them what to do. 

I think the GM team sold Tepper on Bryce.   By all reports it is was split decision in house.   Tepper agreed w/ that side of the house.   Not an order by a king.  Reporters largely sniff it all out and it's not how they reported it.  And I think we know team Frank was anti- Bryce and pro CJ.  They lost.

I think given the trade he is probably the biggest Panthers draft bust.  I think more and more people are coming around to that.

But the very fact he started 30+ games means he is far from a top bust overall IMO.

Exactly. Biggest Panthers bust, easily. But if people are saying NFL overall he's not top 10.

Yeah he is. He's put together a worse 3 years of qb play than Jamarcus did, in an era where QBs aren't allowed to struggle that long. Say what you want about his first season, the Panthers have bent over backwards for him this year and in 2024, so it's even worse relatively. And he's doing it in a much easier era to play QB, even compared to the late 2000s. 

I think we need to keep comparisons contained to the modern era, and even then probably in the salary cap era, just because of how much more advanced scouting and drafting is etc. Like back in the day teams would just draft whomever based on what their college coach said about them. They'd blow first rounders all the time, it wasn't as big a thing as it is now. 

The main thing keeping Bryce from all time busthood is him just not having the physical tools to have those huge expectations but given everything sacrificed for him he's easily top 5.

As far as the biggest bust there are other candidates who would undoubtedly garner heavy consideration and likely the spot. He is however beyond a shadow of a doubt easily one of the worst 5-10 draft picks of all time. Has nothing to do with being a Panthers fan or not. It's also worth noting the fact that the Panthers have given him 40 games skews things to a degree as well. He's been given way way more opportunities than other busts have to soften the blow and stat pad. That must also be acknowledged.

Only thing making this tolerable is that our idiot of an owner is the laughing stock of the NFL owners.

Everytime Tepper is seen in Charlotte someone should hoof him right in the nuts. Guy is a joke literally one of the worst owners in NFL history at this point.

I implore everyone on this board STOP GIVING PANTHERS YOUR MONEY! 

Stop buying tickets, stop buying jerseys, stop buying anything that will give him the power of your wallet. He don't deserve it wake up!

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
