I'd flip young for Lawrence straight up contract and all.  Change of scenery would do both good

I'm probably closer to a Trevor hater than anyone and I think I'd take this deal.  Jesus.

Honestly if Bryce wasn’t so bad for 2-3 quarters every game this would be a no brainer.

Listening to post game commentary from players (Chuba and Ickey) they both said that Bryce was the key factor in the comeback and they all trusted and looked to him at the end of games to make a play. Kind of reminds me of another quarterback who was stuck behind Aaron Brooks in NO until we picked him up that always stepped up when the game mattered to make a play. 
 

5-1 in one score games. The lone loss was the only game where Bryce didn’t make plays down the stretch to win it (and it was ugly). Whether you like it or not if we are within one score in the fourth then we have a chance with Bryce under center.

0 issue picking up the 5th year. It’s critical that we do, in case he continues to build and get better each season. It would be insane to talk extension this offseason though. Pick up the 5th year option, and if he shows consistency, do an extension after year 4. It’s as easy as that, this is not an issue of having to pay a lot more if we make a mistake, it’s all risk no reward to even think of an extension after this season based on the constancy shown through three seasons.

I'm OK with keeping Young ONLY if we bring some other guys into the QB room to compete with him for the starting spot. 

Was literally about to say exactly this.

I have absolutely no problem with this if we actually bring in legit competition (either by FA or draft).

Man, I read that article and it was shocking how they were already talking extension.

Are you really shocked? That seems like a very panthers thing to do to me.

It makes sense (even though I don't think Bryce is the answer). Bring in competition next year for him and if he sucks, then you trade him to another team who will have him for his 5th year to try and make him a reclamation project

We're probably keeping him next year and moving forward with the 5th year option.  I really don't see "Competition" with Bryce happening, but I can see us targeting a 4th-7th rounder to compete with a shltty vet for the backup spot.  

The options just aren't there.
