Bryce will come out of the bye and throw for 62 yards against the Saints. 

Normally I'd be inclined to agree with you, but not this time. That Saints loss was our most embarrassing defeat of the year. We got thumped by the Jags, Pats, and Bills this year...but all 3 of those squads are playoff caliber teams. We lost to a 1-8 Saints team at home against while they were starting a rookie QB.

I have a feeling that lost still stings and I feel pretty confident we are going to beat the hell out of those guys when we see them again.

My hope also...

Canales is going nowhere.

Bryce's fifth year option is all but guaranteed to get picked up.

If you're against either of those things happening, you are just... plain... sh-t out of luck 😐

I'd add that any coaching staff changes are likely gonna be due to people getting other opportunities.

Front office changes? Maybe but I'm not making any predictions.

This is just how it is, guys. Gotta be real.

So the QB Conversation is pretty much over right???...CPSinceDay1 Draft pick BY over 99% huddle choice CJ Stroud.

For next year, we can have a backup quarterback discussion.

The starter is not in question at the moment.

Again, I don't necessarily disagree, but what are ya gonna do? 😕

Too easy.

Bryce is playing on his 4th year only. No 5th year option. 

Cut Dalton and get a younger vet that can actually compete for the starting job that can actually run DCs offense. The bar isn't high based on past performance. 

Draft a young QB that has the metrics and ability to run DCs offense. No 1st rounder but I wouldn't be opposed to a 2nd or 3rd. 

Carry 3 QBs in camp and on the roster. Legit QB competition. He who wins the starter job, starts. Doesn't matter if it's Bryce or a rookie. Best QB for the team to win. Period. 

If you're not willing to have Bryce face competition, then this whole thing is a farce anyway and we will be in year 35 of the rebuilding process.

We may pick up the fifth, but it's way too soon to say he's the starter next year. I think you are forgetting Bryce is a bad QB.

We're not talking about what I want, but what I expect the team to do. 

Outside of not keeping Dalton, I don't know that is expect much.

I have strong reservations committing to Young as longer starter with a 2nd contract. If I were GM, I'd follow the above scenario and let the chips fall where they may.

Who knows, a legitimate threat to his starting job could if ignite a fire in Bryce and make him a better player. He's never really had to fight to win the starting job.

      Does Canales get a nickname yet?

      How We All Feel About Bryce...

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games  If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant.

      GWD is the critical stat for an NFL QB. What you need for perspective is GWD %.  This is how many opportunities he converts. 2023 was 12.5%. 2024 was 33.3%. 2025 is 50%. Career is 28.9%. A consistent playoff winning QB is in the 30% range. A championship caliber QB is in the 40% range. He has been tracking well even with his major limitations under the development of Canales. This is the only reason he is holding on, but he is at the same level of a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Carr was 32.4% GWD in his first 3 seasons with 12 GWD in 37 opportunities. This gives you perspective on why he is frustrating to evaluate. Carr did what for the Raiders? 2 winning seasons in 9 seasons with 4 different HCs/OCs. This is what we want as Panthers fans? A decade of average with potential and many moments of hope? At least he'll win a QB skill competition like Carr, right?
