No one has needed odd, team based stats to prop up a QB as much as Bryce Stans

Big props to Bryce today - this was the kind of game winning drive that could define a season. He made plays all game.

I'm happy we won and I'd love nothing more for the light bulb to go off but I've seen enough to know we need more talent in that qb room. Purdy and countless other qbs have been more consistent  than Bryce and aren't the answer for their respective  franchise. I'd love that Stat more if he didn't have such a lopsided  win/loss  thing going on. Going to celebrate the win but we need consistency! We should be leading the division  right now and just like he did his part in a couple of our wins, he's done just as much damage in our losses.

Honest question, how many games in his career has he not even had the opportunity to do this?

If we're down 1 point entering the 4th quarter and we score a TD on the first play of the quarter and then never give up the lead, that counts as a GWD for this stat.

The Falcons shutout this year obviously is one, but outside of that, have we ever entered the 4th quarter with a lead and held it until the game was over?

I'd love to know how many chances Peyton and Allen even had compared to Bryce at the same time frame.

If you look at all our wins, excluding the 30-0 Atalanta win, they are all by three (with some in OT) and one 7 point win against the jets. I think that’s interesting.

Isn't this a young team just learning ways to win? How many times were we on the losing end? Great teams win the tough ones, there's a new culture growing in the building, and it starts with the QB, no matter how many times he is counted out, he Keeps Pounding

I guess we will see if we are great, I hope we are

Yes, young teams need to learn how to win close games.

But an overwhelming number of wins (or losses) in 1 score games is usually more about just better luck than anything else.  It's why those teams with such a drastic W-L record in 1 score games are usually widely predicted by experts to have the opposite happen in the following season, and it goes for both wins or losses (see the Vikings and Chiefs this year for example).

How did I see this coming?
 

Took sacks to be taken out of FG range, points off the board. 
Where is that stat?

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?
