Nobody is scared of Bryce throwing the ball. That makes a huge difference on our lack of a run game

I'm not a Bryce supporter but he did pass for 60 more yards than Mayfield. If the inability to pass throttles running game then  we should have locked down their running game.

You may be referring to lack of arm talent.  I've blamed Bryce for several losses but our OL should get a game ball from the Bucs.

I wouldn't typically call this out, but the amount of people wanting to keep Dowdle after his boom stretch was insane.  He is nothing special and will be 28 next year.  Next.  

Hubbard kind of blows.  We have an out this offseason with him, I see it taken.  Next.  

Onto another attempt at a committee.

Draft/FA/Brooks/Etienne

This. We need a true, consistent threat in the backfield. We don't have it yet.

Rico looked unstoppable for a month, and Chuba has his moments, but no team fears our running backs.

Mayfield outgains Rico and Chuba.

Bucs outgain Panthers at a 20:1 ratio on the ground.

It's not Rico / It's not Chuba - Our OL could not move a stick of butter an inch across a red hot griddle.  Our DL wasn't much better - just pushed all over field throughout the game.  Bryce didn't lose this one, we were beat in the trenches - again.

It was bad but not quite that bad. More like 7:1

That’s where I am. There are games that are Bryce’s fault. Today was not one of them. He misses some plays, but no more than quite a few LBs/DBs/kicker/OL/WR/RB/cosches.

and, ultimately, if he threw for 400 yards and 5 TDs, 100 of those yards and 2-3 of those TDs would’ve just been called back for “holding” or “OPI”.

I wasn't really seeing what made Hubbard special to give him a pretty sweet contract.  I wasn't against re-signing him, but I was thinking more along the lines of a RB2 deal (because that's what he really is) instead of a RB1 contract.  In short, we overpaid...per normal.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, in theory Bryce could get over the hump. That aside, you have to know that due to the situation we are going to give him another year. From some perspectives, it just makes sense. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with it, but it's not like the draft is chock full of franchise QBs. I'm thinking that only one, the consensus top pick, is destined to be the only one in this draft (and some people don't believe in him). All we can do is sure up the room with an FA (Pickett) and take a swing or two and hope (maybe the dawg Pavia). 2027 should bring better options if it comes to that.

      Let's be honest here. We have one WR on this team that would be in the top 3 of ANY other team. And he was a rookie last year. I love Coker but he is an often injured UDFA. He wouldn't have even gotten a chance on other teams. The rookie injury would have bounced him around the league for the next 5 years until he stopped trying to make a roster. It's a numbers game for most teams and he would have (at best) been on some team's practice squad. But Carolina has been so devoid of talent at the position, that we didn't have much of a choice. Bryce leaves a lot of questions but to say he hasn't elevated anyone isn't true. No WR has left Carolina since he's started and did better on another team. Not one. And there are several to choose from. Coincidence? Maybe. Probably not.
