I'm shocked. Didn't see this coming. 

Tough day for the "nothing will ever change Morgan is a moron" crowd.  Morgan sees what we see.  Dalton is out, a higher quality vet will be signed and a development rookie drafted late or UDFA in April.  Stuck with Bryce for 2 seasons, unless 1 of the TBD vet or rookie stands out and Bryce is "hurt" before then.   

Franchise QB swing in 28.

We need to hope they don’t wait. Lot of guys hitting the draft for 2027. You give them a year behind Bryce who can either become the bridge or he can hold out, whatever. 

A lot depends on Bryce and what he can do with year 4. If he doesn’t provide definitive beyond a doubt notice that he is the guy, you can’t just keep on with giving him the next year.

They could absolutely pull the trigger on the future in 27. My point is I believe Dan is looking to upgrade when the time is right, and the thought we'll give Bryce a max contract after year 5 because Tepper told him to is stupid.

Well as one of his biggest and longest non believers (pun intended), he has risen to a level that is acceptable if he can roll that out every week. But it only happened infrequently. And I am still not in love with it, he is limited physically and will always be limited. Acceptable though.
 

A duffer can go out and golf on Saturday is likely to have a few really good shots. So why can’t all his shots be good? It is hard. 
It isn’t that hard to have some success in spurts. The trick is keeping it going. 

How many good games would he have to turn in to earn an extension? I would have a hard time coming up with 6 that meet a high standard from 2025. 
 

So, 8? I am no. Don’t have three more years for him to figure out how to get to 12 or 13. 
 

Double them? I might bite. Depending on the insanity of the annual pay. 

And then I thought about it. 12 games is only 2/3rds. I believe I would want more for an extension that paid him market value.

ESPN’s David Newton reports the Panthers “plan” to move on from Andy Dalton
Newton adds “even if it means releasing Dalton and leaving $3.83 million in dead cap money.” Things really crashed down hard from the Andy Dalton Combine “getting calls” experience. Dalton, who turns 39 in October, likely proved that he just wasn’t a good enough backup last year in his start against the Bills to keep paying a premium on. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Panthers cut him.

Andy Dalton is a nice guy... But we aren't running a charity here. It's about damn time!

Here's a VERY fun thread to revisit.

On a rookie contract? Sure. Paying him $50M+ a year? That'd be a noose around our neck.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
