Not exactly what he said. He expects it. Perhaps Kimes expects it, but they're just reading the tea leaves like everyone else. Hell, I expect it ( considering our FO). But there is nothing definitive as of yet.

I dont see any possible advantage of doing this.

Better than signing him to a long term deal, which is what Mina is saying. He hasn't shown enough for a long term extension. I think the 5th year option deadline is kinda bullshit though personally, way too early to have to decide

thats not even the darkest murder in panthers history.  Rae Carruth (may he fugin rot in hell one day) murdering Cherica Adams is the darkest blotch on the organization by a mile and as much as Im not in favor of signing the 5th year option for bryce, its like comparing apples for range rovers.

I mean, you wanna go cold turkey...Enter a QB abyss? I seriously doubt that a move like that will be sanctioned (and that's probably the most realistic way to fix the problem). Brett Rypien, anyone?

Picking it up basically guarantees him here 2 more years due to the cost.  Furthermore I doubt he is going into year 5 without an ext so basically now we are going to need 4 years to see if he can actually play.  Up to now I think any reasonable fan can see this experiment isnt working.   I would not go cold turkey I would sign someone this offseason as well as draft a guy.  

 

So again I dont see any real value of the 5th

Yeah, the worst org in all of pro sports ensuring they stay as such.

literally no NFL team has picked up the 5th for a player as bad as Bryce has been.  Folks cheering on bad decisions by the bad decision franchise 

[UnluckyforSome]

That 5th year was as good as chiseled in stone following the 2nd Atlanta game this season.

The more important question is do we extend him after this 3rd year, following a playoff appearance, as soon as he is eligible, and just skip the charade of the option all together?

I disagree. Look, Carruth was a POS. She was a POS too, let’s face it. A stripper running an old game on him. 

The child was truly the only innocent there. 

He wasn’t innocent. She wasn’t innocent either. She just picked the wrong rich athlete. Play stupid games…. You don’t know what you are setting in motion. 

I can’t compare that to Fred Lane’s death. Free country we can disagree.
