I don't see any reason to keep Young at all. Trade him for a late pick and move on.

Yes he could be a competent backup for a few games but that also takes up a roster spot for another QB with more upside. But even more importantly it just lets us move on from this epic mistake.

If you make moves to stabilize the QB room and turn down his 5th year, there is no real reason to keep him in Carolina for the 2026 season. It's pointless for both parties. Give him a fresh start and turn the page. 

I don't anticipate that happening. I suspect they will pick up his 5th year and barrel straight into denial mode with the Tepper based assumption that we just aren't good enough to help him win yet.

I would heavily disagree. They have a longer term financial commitment to Purdy and they are very similar level players. Unloading Purdy would be a true roster purge would have to happen. 

That's destroying the health of the franchise for.....Mac Jones.

So Purdy has fugged them which was my take the entire time. The damage was done when  they gave him that contract.

Purdy didn't do anything but become one of the most successful 7th round draft picks in NFL history. No one put a gun to their head to sign that deal.

Lol of course the team is at fault but the players also singed the deal (for a Purdy it's an easy duh) . Purdy was a great example of a guy who is priceless on a rookie contract and should be avoided at market rates in the NFL. Trading for Jones and having to pay him would be just as bad. Neither are worth trading for but Mac in free agency at the right price could be a decent bridge. 

That's not a retooling for the 49ers, it's a regression around a cap fumble they have to eat a while longer. They might pull it off with their skills but it wouldn't be the NFL norm

Honestly, I don't have a problem with the deal they signed. It's actually far more team friendly than most of the other top 15 QB contracts. It was a fair deal all around. Don't love the player but it's not a major ordeal to move on after a couple of seasons.

I think Tepper (and owners in general) have  more influence on team personnel than most of us realize. Remember how Brenton "Sunshine" Berson was a roster lock when JR owned the team?

 Frank Reich didn't want to draft Bryce, Tepper did. I remember him saying in an off-season meeting that the team wouldn't have to break the bank on WR's because of BY's processing ability and his ability to distribute the a ball to like a point guard to the skill position guys. Frank quickly realized it was almost hopeless situation. And, why are we running a 3-4 defense? We ran a 4-3 for almost two decades. One year after Tepper takes over, we went to a 3-4 and continue to do so despite never drafting the appropriate personnel to run it after Rivera was fired. Owners have a lot of say on what happens on that field. Look how Al Davis tried to ruin Marcus Allen's career essentially benching him during his prime years.

Canales got this job because Tepper wanted someone who could "fix" Bryce; and Canales was overly eager to get his first coaching job and felt up to the task. No top coaching prospect was going to want to come to Carolina with our track record since Tepper bought the team and having their destiny tied to Bryce as his QB. A top GM candidate from outside the organization would feel the same way. In theory, it was too early to cut bait with him after only one season

Dan and Dave knew one another and both wanted to be "the guy" in charge as coach and GM. Carolina provided the ideal opportunity. On the surface this hire, if successful, could validate Tepper's decision to give a fool's ransom for Bryce and he could fill the GM spot with a body but still have someone in power that he was familiar with. In all honesty, it we had a good QB and a capable back-up on the roster I doubt we'd be having this conversation because we'd probably be one of the top teams in the NFC.

      Nic Scourton On Panthers' Culture

      Absolutely. Despite the turnovers and the terrible slips we only gave up 17. If the offense could have mustered a single productive drive after the start of the game ...

      Just reeks of bullshit. Good college QB but when you were watching him as an NFL prospect the physical limitations and playing style concerns were very obvious. Teams across the league almost certainly evaluated him as a backup QB prospect and the last thing you want out of a backup QB is a distraction. Strip away the media hype job, add in all the reports that Shedeur essentially completely blew off the pre-draft process and turned teams off essentially cementing what many already thought and nothing about his draft plummet was surprising. Watch the Browns draft room as the pick was announced. It's very obvious that wasn't their pick. The owner stepped on and said get me that press attention. Why would that have happened if there was a directive from the league not to draft him? It just doesn't pass the bullshit litmus test.
