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

BY has improved, in tiny steps....

AND panthers have improved, more than BY....

Idk, 17 games he played last season and he went over 200 yards 5 times. 

He's still that same QB that is only going to pass for 175 yards or more in about half of his starts. Go look at his stats that has been his MO every season. 

Rookie season: 8 over 8 under 

2nd season : 8 over 8 under

3rd season : 8 over 9 under

Is that Bryce improving or just the pieces around him?

I think with a QB that has the ability to threaten the defense our offense could be pretty good. With Bryce its more than likely to be bottom 10 again. 

Sure,  he has better OL and better WR and a better defense and that helps a lot.

Plus almost everyone improves with more reps and experience.  
Some of it is from that. 
Closely aligned to that is stability and consecutive years in the same system. 

Now to the not improved and likely never will improve stuff: 
he can’t see the field any better with experience. The arm is not going to give him any edge, quite the opposite. His disadvantages and narrow margins for error remain the same. You can’t fix that you have to live with it. I don’t want to. Never did.

The improvements have been not fumbling when getting sneezed on and not throwing INTs directly into the chest of defensive lineman, but he still sucks he is still the same guy.

I just don't see how another year is going to make up for his lack of arm strength, size, and height. His ONE attribute that everybody prior the draft harped on was his "super processing"............and I've seen none of that since day one. With even average QB play last year, we go 11-6. Guess we have to waste yet another year figuring out what majority of Panther fans already know.

I don't care what the final numbers look like, but Bryce needs to show the ability to elevate the players around him and not just let the team around him elevate his play.  He doesn't have to play like he did versus the Falcons every week but the sub 150 passing yard games need to get whole lot better as that's not a sustainable way to win in this league and I hope the front office understands that and the fact we as fans expect more production from our number 1 overall pick QB going into year 4 especially when extension talks are being brought up.

He would have to make a huge leap this year for me to agree w/ an extension unless it is extremely favorable to the team.  Don't double down on the stupidity of trading the farm for him in the first place by giving him a Tua contract.

highly drafted Qb's like Sam Darnold especially a #1 overall pick usually always have ideal physical traits & or alot of raw arm strength 

Iook at Bryce Young & see no reason why he should have ever been drafted #1 overall. if anything BY should have been a latter round draft pick or UDFA like Pavia that came into the NFL on a prove it deal 

honestly see this ending only one way & no not like Sam Darnold ...just saying

In terms of the possibility of Bryce Young following Sam Darnold's career arc to this point think of the movie Big with Tom Hanks. That's basically what would have to happen. Unfortunately we don't exist within a feel good fantasy film universe.

ok LOL yeah BIG that movie brings back memories from way back in the 80's 

anyway I like to think people want to often assume Bryce Young has an opportunuty to also do what Sam Darnold has done in his carrer maybe not the exact same timeline but sorta the same upward trajectory ...just saying

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

Brock Purdy played the Seahawks twice right after Youngs' game and averaged 145 yards (passing and rushing) with 0 TD's, 2 INT's and a fumble in those two games. So he had around 60 more total yards per game but Young did at least have one TD. Purdy makes 53M a year. 

So what is Purdy's fair market value?

It really depends on the cost of the extension. Expectations change significantly depending upon the price. What I would need to see to sign him to 55M per year is a lot different than what I would need to see to sign him to 35M.

Do his physical limitations impede his performance?  Yes.  Tip toeing, failure to throw over the middle effectively, etc.  Eventually, I expect him to start showing the wear and tear.  He has had 4 seasons and his best season was meh, and without RIco, I think he struggles again.   I see both sides--he has improved, but the cost of his supporting cast will be a factor when he wants bag.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
