Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

[NCBlu]

Boooo....

Damn dude been on like 4yrs straight of prove it yrs and we still don't know what he has on a consistent bases..

He has looked like trash more games then a franchise QB and also is still the smallest QB in the NFL

Cam played 9 season in Car and is a legend. Young going into yr 5 still looking for a winning season and something to say he even close to starter material

I love all these people saying "Bryce gets a final chance"......Like what about the 3 previous years with subpar playing never avg barely over 200yrds a game as a QB! 

Micro mini QB is a backup level QB at best in this league, we need to move on!!!!

Pretty much. Worst case scenario is we burn $26M for a backup in 2027.

I feel like I already know Young isn’t the guy to bring us deep in the playoffs but the team wants to confirm. Rather than signing a huge extension, we’ve got a 2 year review. We should know after 2026 but the 2027 draft may not go the way we want so at least we’ve got a QB for 2 years.

There are at least 14 qbs that make over $40 mill this year including such hof like Daniel Jones, DeShaun Watson and Brock Purdy.  

Bad qb decisions crippled the fins and cards.

The Seahawks just won it all with a qb we discarded in Sam darnold. 

Qb is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. 

This decision was inevitable and gives the panthers 2 more years to (Hopefully) not make the same mistake others have concerning the qb position

Better than giving him a long term deal.

Or 26m for a bridge QB or this also leaves the opportunity to trade

If we really do use Haynes King in a Taysom Hill role some are predicting, I don't see how you could give an extension to BY if you have to use a whole extra roster spot on a guy just to run qb sneaks and the like. 

[Tbe]

My fear is he will have a much better year this year (but still mid by league standards) and they will feel the need to offer an extension next off season.

This is disappointing. I was hoping we'd be smart and just let him play on the last year of his contract. Giving a 5th year extension to a QB that hasn't had 2 franchise QB performances back to back in 3 years makes zero sense. At some point Bryce has to feel the pressure to perform or know he's gone. 

I want to believe Dan is going to be a really good GM. poo like this makes me think otherwise. 

[Manna]

If he wasn't a good guy (what's shown at least) I don't think he'd be a starting QB. I've never seen any player receive so much benefit of the doubt for no reason.

I'm basically back to the hope that Bain snaps him in half.

Clearly our GM is never going to upset the owner and move away from Young at this point.

During the draft process it was said over and over that Arizona doesnt have a starting QB. Brissett started 12 games. He technically played in 2 others taking a single snap in 1 and 3 in the other. If we take his stats from those 12 starts and average it out for 16 to match Bryce's number his output would have been 

4488 yards 30 TDs and 11 ints.

Now if all the "experts" don't consider that starter worthy how can Bryce's 3011 yards, 23 TDs and 11 int be starter worthy enough to lock in for 2 more years?

I'm not really concerned about the 5th year option, it's the extension that will be interesting...

Yep, please no Tua or Kyler extensions.
