Coach Ron Rivera said the Panthers are very much in the hunt for a veteran free agent quarterback, but wouldn’t say for whom. A source said the Panthers want Marc Bulger, but the free agent from Baltimore is still holding out hope of getting a shot to start somewhere else. He could change his mind. Jake Delhomme also remains in play, a source said. It sounds like the Panthers are waiting to see what Bulger will do first.

So we get rid of Kasay because we don't want to waste an extra roster spot for a KOS, but are willing to waste a roster spot on incompetent QBs that will never contribute? If we're going that route, how about one that's from a Coryell system so that he would actually be worth a damn and could help Cam.

I would much prefer Bulger over Delhomme, and realistically Bulger shouldn't be targeted as a starter by any team. But there are plenty of teams out there that could use Bulger, I hope we could snag him.

And, of course, I would welcome Jake back. We all know Cam is the starter, so its not like bringing Jake in means Jake starts. He had his time as a starter. But I believe he can be a solid back up, as well as act as a mentor. Jake was known for competitiveness, as well as being calm and cool under pressure. These are traits that would be an asset for Cam.

And honestly, the QB this year, aside from Cam, doesn't really have an excuse to not get something done. There are so many weapons available on the offense that even Jake, Jimmy, or Bulger have no excuse what-so-ever. Cam does, because he is a rookie and has the least "pro" experience out of the other possible starters.

Its all good, but we do need that vet QB to solidify the QB position. I really have no faith in Jimmy, so it has to happen.

Kasay has pulled us through a lot of tough situations and still could have continued doing so. The reasoning behind releasing him though was becasue of that extra roster spot that would be wasted on a KOS (although I think Baker or Kasay could've handled it themselves). And what the hell would any of those QBs mentor on that our QB coach can't? How to run up a hill? They're not even from the same system.

      Its really wild to watch this part of the community boil down the success of the 2025 Panthers to whether or not BY9 busts or breaks out. Ill take middle of the road mistake free game manager that distributes the ball and orchestrates the offense.  If we can get that with a D that doesnt put us in a 27 point+ hole every week the team can improve. Id love a deep post season run but honestly at this point Id be ecstatic about feeling like we could win every week.   Jake is never going to get a yellow jacket but damn if he didnt make watching the team fun.     eta: I think too many people are looking for an I told you so moment over their pre-draft "evaluation" of Bryce

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.
