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

[strato]

Kind of a hard one. If he actually did it once I still would need to see him do it again before I could trust it. 

It isn’t so much stats for me. It is do all the stuff he has been unable to do.
He has yet to take over a game against a stout defense. Dictate to them. Impose our offense on them. I am sick of watching every defense cheat up and crowd us like they can do that with no fear of penalty. 

Show up every week and play at a high level. Not just a couple games and then back to  being the little engine that can’t.

Like someone said, be the reason we win and put some fear into defenses. 
His play vs LA needs to be the floor. Even better  Go watch it again, he left a lot of meat on the bone.  
 

Basically make me an offer so good I can’t refuse it.
Walk on water compared to what we have gotten from him so far.  
 

Otherwise let’s start over again and be smart about it this time.  No midgets.

Very simple without his wacky games, average per game no less than 220 yards, 2/+ TDs by any means and limit his TOs. 

He started 32nd rank in 2023

2024- 28th 

2025- 26th

2026- 14th-16th before the baker, darnold, or wilks contract-like offer. 

He's needs to help the team wins games and limit the 3 and outs, TOP, and TOs. Be a leader and keep the cold blood comebacks ready on deck.

Start faster -

1st half: 1311 yds, 8 tds, 7 ints, 76.4 rating

2nd half: 1646 yds, 15 tds, 4 ints, 97.4 rating

I really think we have seen enough to know that an extension for this guy is ill advised. 

We are just delaying the inevitable, get a guy in the next draft and stop playing around with the most important position.

I think with the investment, they are hoping BY can remain a panther QB. I get that and all, but like I posted above his rank has gone from 32 to 28 to 26..... that's still not #1 overall I carry the team good. But they hope he can make the jump, who knows.......I was never a believer, but I have seen tiny talent and know about the poor level of players and coaches he's had around......

Define extending him would be helpful 

I don't see us offering or him accepting a 30m per season offer. If we did make an offer, I expect it would be a top 5 contract which would be extraordinarily stupid even if he did have a 4k/30/10 season. He hasn't been consistent and we don't need to make a Daniel Jones type mistake. I don't think we should entertain making an offer until his 5th year to see how things play out for more than a season.

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

 

Real ones know the Seahawks game ain't the one. Nobody was open. Seattle’s secondary had us and most of the NFL in a chokehold. The Rams were the only team that actually figured them out

The real failure was the 49ers game. That matchup was incredibly winnable, and Bryce complete ass

I feel like my expectations for Bryce Young just don't match the Panthers.

I want excellence. I want him to play like a true number one overall pick, and anything less is a failure.

But the Panthers? It feels like they’re just hoping for a slightly more consistent version of what he was last season.

Lol they are probably more grounded in reality.  
My issue with that is, they promised no more mediocrity. I am with you he needs to show out.

extension: incentive heavy contract. 
expectation: at this point the bar is set really low and he hasn't been able to meet it: just consistently pass for more than 100 yards a game.

Basically this. He would have to take a prodigious leap - and even then I wouldn't trust him to follow it up the year after.

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.

The Niners game was awful. The usually shitty defense came to play for whatever reason at the start.

That said, you can't begin to excuse that Seahawks game performance by saying the opponent was just too good, and then claim that Young is a franchise QB. That is the exact scenario that a franchise QB is supposed to overcome.

The math ain't mathing, and It just doesn't work.

BY has improved, in tiny steps....

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

The problem is that they’ve never brought someone in to COMPETE with him.  This is football, every position room needs competition.  

Draft a QB in the 1st next year and see how he reacts before any big extension happens. You can’t continue to coddle him and then also extend him.
