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

It used to feel like it was a coin toss but now it’s virtually guaranteed.

He hasn't had very good games this season,  he had one.  The Panthers have had several really good games and many aspect have gotten much better.  The passer hasn’t 

Cowboys, Falcons, Rams

Today: 3 passing tds, 140+ passer rating.

You’re just a hater tbh.

That’s really not how things go in the NFL.   That’s some created Panther scenario.  Bryce either comes back to start next year or you move on from the worst starter since he arrived into the league.  Your #1 overall 3 year starter doesn’t do a legit battle he can lose in camp and just become the backup….that creates absurd in house dynamics.  Which is why you don’t see the proposed happen 

Kc went to the afc championship game and drafted Mahommes in the next draft.  It happens all the time.

It may not be, and I've seen this movie before.

But barring something on the level of career ending injury, I just don't see any other path. 

Oh I totally get it, I kinda called this 3 years ago...

Bryce is the picture perfect recipe for putting a team in QB purgatory, and just because there isn't a clear other path to follow right now, doesn't mean we should continue down this one as we also know how that movie ends too.

Trying to start over now might bring more hurt than is needed over the next 2-3 years, but it also might (is?) the fastest way to actually getting back to being a true contender in the future.

Which I 100% understand is a hard sell to a fanbase so starved for wins like we are, but it's why I was so against Bryce from the jump.  This just seemed like the inevitable path everything would go down.

If Bryce continues to be an effective game manager I'm okay with the 5th year option. I don't love it, but I'm okay with it. 

But we have to stop pretending that he's the answer and we have to bring in legit competition. Not a guy signed to happily hold a clipboard, but a guy coming in to try to take the job. 

I don't disagree. Hell, I hope that's what happens.

But the only confident prediction I can make regarding next year's backup is that it won't be Andy Dalton.

The staunch Bryce bashers are getting quite defensive because they can see the path fo him sticking around 

Nah, it’s just the repeated Groundhog Day effect in full swing.  Bryce “haters” just have watched a really bad QB for 3 years and don‘t do this really weird and comical extreme thing with Bryce like others do.   

Jets - cut him!!!

GB - we won who cares if he might stink!!!’

Saints - cut him!!

Falcons - he is great!!

49ers - cut him!!!!

Rams - he is okay!!!

Trending based off of what? 

The fact we're still in the playoff hunt this late, as well as comparison to prior years.

I wish I was confident in that.

If I knew the organization was committed to at least bringing in competition at QB in the offseason I could just relax and enjoy the ride.

He has had some good games, below average and average ones. He has been truly bad in 3 games this year (Jacksonville, SF, NO).

Mate I like to upgrade the QB position myself but I can see the path for Bryce sticking around the same as the OP. Carrying on like a pork chop because deep down they can see it too is a bit silly
