I want to win short and long term and that requires there being competition in the QB room every year. Even when Brady was firmly entrenched with multiple rings, Billy B was still bringing in QBs behind him because injuries happen. Matt Cassel led them to 11-5 and should have made the playoffs as a wildcard. You don't settle in the QB room because you think you have a starting QB. Always try to do better. The ultimate goal is a SB. Do what it takes to win.

This 100 percent.

Think of the Packers during the Brett Favre era as well. They kept drafting guys to sit behind him and learn from their system and Brett, too. What they did was they created not just qualified backups, but a farm system where they traded well trained QBs that smart GMs traded for as starters rather than risking it all on a high draft pick.

I hope Bryce wins out this season because I'll never go against whatever brings wins to our team. Even if he does, though, there should be a QB in the wings, learning and ready to roll out at a moment's notice, whether for our team or someone else's.

In terms of Bryce in 2026 I don't think either outcome changes things much if at all. It's up in the air what level of competition the QB room will have come training camp. Personally having seen the QB room at work I know what the team needs but our decision makers have shown 3 consecutive years that they value comfortablility over good old fashioned healthy competition. Ultimately everyone is going to have to reconcile with the fact that Dan Morgan and David Tepper are in lockstep with one another on salvaging the trade and selection for better or worse and that will remain a factor.

I don’t believe we will win this game. 
I also don’t think losing it gets us a new starter next year.  No matter how bad it is.
 

But I want one and there is a button here I can click on that gets me one so what the hell, whatever it takes.

I think everyone would like to salvage the trade because that would be in the franchis's best interest. So, yeah, "for better," hell yeah. "For worse?" Hell no." I don't think David and Dan are willing to sacrifice any more seasons outside of the next one on this experiment, as it can still appear justified. One more season of the same or similar should tell everyone all that everone needs to know.

I share your hope that they feel that way. But we just don't know.

The unfortunate reality with Bryce Young is that he is now officially in year 4 as an NFL starter and we are still at a place where week to week we basically toss out all the bad every time he shows any minimal semblance of what could be perceived to be good even if it's something bare minimum that 31 other starters are supposed to be capable of. I've never seen this for another QB. Certainly never seen it for a Panthers QB.

I just cannot say with confidence at this juncture that our decision makers are going to approach further evaluation of Bryce Young going forward with the emotional attachment to the investment removed from the equation. We've seemed to have high standards for every other position on the field for going on 3 years now. I'll believe that's actually changed when I see it in action with my own eyes.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      Brother you've been WR driven for going on almost two decades now.  No need for us to discuss further.

      First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.
