yea Dan blew this up, "Ive had no team calling about trading Dalton".

I was thinking Adam was doing the Panthers a favor....then Dan is like "WUT?, NEVER HAPPENED"

I only see a big bro deal with one of the young QBs, one fact is Miami was trading for Dalton 2 years and that QB coach is here now.....one less want out there among teams. 

Like others have said, if anyone watched his last last...he looked 38 and maybe older. It just wasn't his slow foot speed, it was the decisions too. ugh....

Still why have a #2-3 old guy, when that's the QB coach job?? He's cheaper and doesn't cost a roster spot.

It is kindof dumb to not simply lie and say "yeah, I have had discussions with numerous teams about Andy, he still has a ton of value in this league"

I mean, you'd see how good of liar Dan is. his interviews are weird. his voice and drugged look, its like he's super nervous. 

I wouldn't want to get NFL's top reporter upset at me. he's a great tool to use if on good terms.

He has always sounded that way going back to when he was a player. Difference is he sounds like he is being extremely careful in what and how he says things.

I don't member his old 2003 interviews. I do recall him not caring about doing them and just being all serious and business-like. 

These just feel sooo weird to me. Like he's on coke and not liking the bright lights. IDK...it maybe just me over-thinking it. Its un-natural, like a old mark zuckerberg......even with the snips of water to collect words/thoughts. My guy doesn't blink at all.....

No I agree it’s odd. He sounds like he’s handpicking every word and syllable one by one.

When I look at Dan I see a guy that is overworked to the point it shows. I see people say he is like a dumb jock basically. I don’t think he’s stupid. He is very transparent, kind of guileless. 
 

I don’t mind him being a straight shooter. I think it buys credibility which is helpful when negotiating with other GMs. 

The thing he did with AT and Minnesota last year I believe probably won him some points with prospective FA vets. Which does not hurt a team people may have doubts about joining.

Worked like a charm in the Burns and XL trade

Both those were deals with people he knew socially as well as having worked with them. If you are grousing about the price or the return, that isn’t my point. That is a different thing. 

I am talking people you don’t really know all that well and maybe haven’t dealt with, and in this context: If they ask about a player and you are known as trustworthy, it is an asset. They will take your word for something and know you aren’t bullshitting them.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
