what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

[GOAT]

it can be stats alone, and or team related accomplishments such as division, play off wins, etc.

I think if he can show improvement in all categories, 3500+ yards to quiet the 200 yard average talk, 30> TD's and >10 INT's.

it would be nice to win the division convincingly but hey, we never held not making the post season back to back season against Cam. 

funny thing is, I think most fans would prefer to see an impressive stat line from him than a playoff appearance / win.

just wanted to hear everyone's opinion on what they personally need to see, not trying to bicker with anyone.

oh and inb4 the there's nothing he can do comments...

[Mistuh Jones]

3500 yds 

30 TD's under 15 INTS

[mrcompletely11]

Define extending him would be helpful 

[Castavar]

Be the reason we win games, not despite him. Majority of our wins games last year came because of a great defensive day or a historic running day, not because of Bryce. With the division on the line, he went 1-3 in the last month and had some terrible games. 

[frankw]

It should not be about his accomplishments alone such as winning the division or making the playoffs because we just did that and we needed help from the Failcons of all teams while getting swept by the Saints and a rookie 2nd round QB. 

If he can navigate a statistical top 12 QB season in key statistical metrics and we often win because of his contributions and not in spite of them then it should be under heavy consideration and negotiation. Even then though the situation has to be assessed logically knowing that tying up top 10-12 QB salary for a team that already has had the highest paid OL in the league two years in a row is not a sustainable long term approach whatsoever and going forward it will only be more crucial as his career progresses that he is able to elevate the sum of the moving parts around him rather than being wholly dependent on them the majority of the time.

[Shotgun]

He needs to grow 3 or 4 inches so he can actually see the field for me to get on board.

[ForJimmy]

Hey we did finally get Jim Caldwell go.  That seems like a move in the right direction.  No one left from that terrible staff several years ago.

The team won the division 3 consecutive times with Newton under center. That would be back-to-back-to-back years of making the postseason.

Bryce Young is no Cam Newton.

Yea if he put up those numbers it would be hard not to re sign him, even if we dont make the playoffs.  

[amcoolio]

4000 yds, 37+ total tds, 17- total turnovers, top 15 QB in rating, Panthers offense top 15. I think that's fairly reasonable

[PootieNunu]

He needs to not suck the majority of the time like he has done the first three years. 

No numbers just don't be a fuging liability to the offense. 

 

[The Third Reich]

Here is how I see it--he has to be surrounded by elite talent to play well.  We have a $100m per season OL (Approximate salaries:  Ickey $18m, Hunt $24m, Moton $21m, Lewis $17m, Walker/Freeling $8m combined, Fortner $3m--total:  $91m--take into consideration that NO WR is on a second contract and only 1 average TE is on one.  If the salary cap is $300K and the offensive line takes about 28% of it, and the defense takes 50% (approx)  and your QB wants 12% of the cap, then you have about 10% of the cap for WR, TE, RB, and special teams.  That means that Bryce's success is going to hinge on the GM finding first contract talent to play OL by the time the WRs start screaming for $$.  Even with all the parts working, do we have a shot at the Lombardi? If not, keep shopping.

I talked to him at a conference years ago when he was coaching at Wake.  I was not impressed and I wanted to be.

[UnluckyforSome]

What's fair market value for these eye-pppping numbers?
