There's no scenario where one single playoff win no matter how well he performs would directly lead to Bryce going into next year with zero competition. If the front office is gonna be clowns again like they were this year, then they would do that independent of how Bryce plays this week. And vice versa. So it's a pointless hypothetical.

Dang! A third of the votes would rather lose than have BY come back.

I don't think this is a fan forum anymore. Really thought there were only a few guys here that cheered for him to fail. 36% is crazy work!

a real fan would want the franchise to succeed in the future, not win a little in the short term

Who would want us to lose?!?  I want to win but also have a coaching staff and front office be objectively smart enough to look at the complete body of work and know it can be better and lead to more sustained success.

That's fair and where I am right now too. Losing for draft picks and to justify releasing players is not ok.

I mean we all want Bryce to be the guy.  But it's so obvious he just simply is not that.  Nothing he has shown tells you not to continue to pursue competition at QB or just move on altogether.

It has to be A on this poll. If he shows up in the Playoffs? That's where you need your QB to succeed. So yeah, you go into next year with him as your starter.

 

More realistic and worst case scenario. He looks... fine. He doesn't play well enough to win us the game. He doesn't play bad enough to be acknowledged as the problem. And so we spend another off-season paralyzed. Not feeling like he was bad enough that we need to make a move, but not good enough to be our QB of the future. So we end up loading up for another year of Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde Bryce and mediocre ball.

If people are going to be up in arms over a what amounts to nothing more than a fantasy poll then the options could use some work. No competition in 2026 for the QB who is the third highest paid player on the roster and has started the first three consecutive years of his career playing poorly at best is a nonstarter for a lot of people and if anyone needs that explained to them maybe they should go back and give themselves a refresher course on the history of this franchise.

As far as the other option even if we do lose against the Rams the team is still going to pick up Bryce's 5th let's be real. And even then it still isn't a given we will see legitimate competition.

When it comes to winning the division and being in the playoffs I do think the majority of Panthers fans are happy about it and would be happy to see us finally win another playoff game but unfortunately you can't just put aside the elephant in the room and the baggage that comes with it. And dismissing these concerns as just people not being real fans or whatever cringy variation of labels being applied is only carrying water for the Tepper's. Such is only going to illicit eye rolls.

Or the real possibility of regressing to the mean and winning 5 games again.  We had a lot of bounces this year to hit 8 wins.

      Why is it a no-brainer? I mean the idea of a hold out made me laugh out loud.

      Oh, oh. I see what you are saying. Yeah but not all of those were draft for draft replacements. Jones was a dumpster dive. The overall point I was making is that it is becoming more common to see this quick pivots as people realize their mistakes. It happens with a lot of busts historically at QB.  IDK about "most teams" have fast, capable WR's. It's a mixed bag across the league. There are the Hopkins, Evans, etc that aren't sub-4.5 guys and are still star players.

      So if it comes down to that, and it played out, we could be looking at a post June 1 designation for his 5th year money at best. Assuming it is guaranteed which I don’t know.     13.25 mil cap hit in 2027 and 2028.   I have to admit I never really went into the angles after picking up the option. I have always been don’t do it.    So, you pay him the 12 mil for year 4 and if you want out when they go into extension lobbying you trade or cut.  Is that conceivable?   The thing about trading is, I believe all the guaranteed money hits your cap right then. That’s 26.5 million if correct.  So if they picked up the 5th, this would cover the ‘we want out’ expenses from our end, after year 4.   Correct?
