And that is the definition of what it is to be a #1 pick. Overcoming adversity and performing at a high level in doing so. Only in the Panthers fanbase has that definition shifted to playing at a high level only when the moving parts around them are elite and the conditions are 100% ideal. Loser mentality.

Yeah, I'm still not completely sold on Caleb but I'd take him over Bryce all day everyday and every other NFL team would too, including the Panthrs though they can never admit it since they effectively gave the Bears a ton of roster building capital while handing them the pick that eventually became Caleb Wiliams.

For the record, most of the loudest Bryce critics were also among the loudest Cam supporters.

So... WTF are you talking about other than just wanting to dismiss views you don't like with unfounded accusations to avoid having to argue your point?

There was a time when this place had bigots roaming. They were easy to spot in the Cam years. The overwhelming majority are long gone.

But this logic that if you expect BY to play like a #1 pick and elevate the team you are racist is comical beyond words. Especially when you consider these same posters will throw any other player or coach under the bus in an instant to suit their narrative.

Also. Under such logic. Every person critical of Evero is a racist. Which coincidentally would include pretty much every Bryce Young defender.

I mean, I don't think we're doing jack poo next season either.  That schedule is murderous.

How many of those teams are better than the Rams and the Packers?

I think we're more talented this year than we were last year. 

I'm not saying we're going to sweep all that comes before us, but I think a 6-11 projection underestimates the roster rebuild job that's going on here. 

Might be a little too much Kool aid, those Rico games mask how pedestrian Bryce was,and earned us a few wins to stay afloat.

We lost 4 of 5 down the stretch as we controlled our own destiny, and we moonwalked into the playoffs off of whacky tie breakers. 

We over achieved last year. 6-11 is pretty conservative but I also don't think its that far off the mark. If we finish over .500 (primarily because Bryce is our QB) I'll be surprised.
