ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Panthers QB situation

He's started 5 games guys...FIVE! Spot duty in another 8.  How in the world can anyone definitely say he sucks?  Just because 49ers fans soured on him and said he sucks after an injury riddled rookie season and being behind the learning curve.  

The dude has been in the League 4 years and is 25-years old!  He's Penix age now when Penix was a rookie.  He's been in multiple systems now, healthy and obviously has a better feel for the Pro game than he did as a super-raw rookie.

The best part is we wouldn’t have to trade for him. Just sign him to a decent backup QB deal.

To sweeten the deal have language about an open competition. As a FA, he could sign just about anywhere as a pure backup or just stay in SoCal backing up Herbert.  I bet he's chomping at the bit a get a shot at starting again.  I highly doubt he gets an undisputed QB1 gig anywhere, that's the reason I would put verbiage about an open QB1 competition to brush aside any purely backup deals and that would put us at the head of the line.

Me, I was pulling for us to draft Mac Jones back in the day. Is he the answer here? I'd have said hell no before this season, but he has me intrigued. Yeah, he's in a great system there, but one riddled with injuries.

Color me intrigued by the possibility of Jones, but in no way could I go for Kyler Murray. He's just Bryce Young with  10% more arm and 4x the pay. 

 

Any QB that his team needs contractually obligate him to doing film study, disqualified.

We are in QB purgatory. There is nobody worth a poo in the draft or FA.

Might as well ride out the Bryce experiment for 1 more year.

No.
another No

another no

another no….. 

shoot me in the back of the head if that happens.

All the good stuff in here aside, it didn’t take that long for Bryce. I haven’t watched the guy myself. Just sayin.

His biggest problem was he was a one system, one year starting RSO at powerhouse DII school before declaring for the draft.  All of that worked to his disadvantage.  No idea how to work in a different system, started just one season (plus one more game) for ND St. who steamrolled over all the competition. While he was blowing out teams, it was DII talent after all.

He honestly had zero business declaring for the draft.  He clearly was not even close to being ready for the NFL, let alone a NFL blueblood like the 49ers with an offensive minded HC expecting nothing but excellence out of his QBs.  To top it off, he got hurt early in the season and struggled to get healthy.  So yeah, he got a raw deal, but I'm willing to bet the QB he is now is not remotely the QB the 49ers kicked to the curb so early in his career.
