I saw that and just let out a long sigh.

We do need a quarterback. We do NOT need any of the quarterbacks that are available. Rest assured if a true talent is available at some point the FO will do their best to pick him up, I think this is telling as Delhomme is yet to be extended.

My prediction is that once all the dust is settled and there are no viable quarterbacks to be picked up, we will extend him and look next year.

Most fans think only in terms of skill positions.

That’s why the team’s biggest need is for a quarterback, after Jake Delhomme’s six turnovers in the playoffs.

That’s why most fans have a No. 89 jersey but couldn’t name another receiver on the team.

That’s why people are quick to congratulate Williams and Stewart but know little about the line they run behind.

And that’s why anytime a quarterback, running back or receiver is on the market, someone posts about the Panthers going after them.

Last year’s offseason showed us how critical a dominant line is. Now let’s apply that same plan of attack to our defensive line. Our skill players are already in place (quarterback is debatable, but I don’t think it’s enough of a need to warrant really going after anyone; at least not to replace Jake right now).

I think you're off base with the "most" comment. Most fans know their team and are more knowledgeable than you give credit.

Most people on this board are knowledgeable. We constitute a very small part of the fanbase. Go to a game and hear the people around talk about the game as it is happening. Many of them don't have a clue.

Perhaps you’re right.

I guess I’m thinking more of Johnny Q. Panthers Fan, the average guy who might watch the Panthers game every Sunday, but doesn’t research and keep up with the team as much as others might. It’s no surprise that such a person would think we need to go after a quarterback, especially after Delhomme’s performance in the playoffs. A more comprehensive view, however, might acknowledge how poorly our defense played down the stretch, as well as cap figures and the whole financial side of it.

Umm I'd dare to bet I've been to as many if not more games as anyone. And yes I've sat beside an elderly lady or bubble gum popping teen or two who had no Idea what was going on. I've also sat beside 8 year olds that knew the entire roster, and were very aware of rules of the game.

But to imply that "most" fans fall in either of these categorys is untrue, the majority of people who truly follow a team know who all 22 starters are.

EDIT: I should add the majority of fans are watching on TV, and can't help but be informed.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
