Carolina Still Not Respected

Never having back to back winning seasons in franchise history will do that. 

And frankly, only a Lombardi is going to change the general public's minds in the long term. Maybe. The media will likely find ways to call us the worst team ever to win one.

counterpoint - Reid recoginzed Smith was limited and he wasnt going to win a SB so he made a change.  He was 11-4 the year prior and 9-6 the year they drafted Patrick.  But again Reid recognized he had to elevate the qb position to win.  Just like Mcvay and Shannonhan

That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

Bryce Young is the reason.

I looked into this and it looks like a lot of money is already flowing into the Over. Wasn’t really a payout.

I have idea what this means

It's definitely an indictment on what they think about Bryce, it's on him to prove them wrong.

I am not into gambling, so take that into consideration. That said, Vegas is not in the habit of losing money. It happens from time to time, certainly.

I do think it is telling that they are betting on Panthers finishing last in the South again, and taking a step back.

Maybe it is disrespect, as I personally think the Falcons are destined to be last with an unsettled qb situation. Honestly though we are not too far from being in a similar boat. Not the same but similar.
