I read 'swelling in the knee' yesterday as the reason his fat ass was not playing.

This after reading 'how good he felt' and 'how glad he was to be back'.

I believe he's in a contract year so I'd expect him to be out there; will tell you this, if he is not out there the next to last exhbition game or the opening game, he'll be toast again this year.

If there is one player that they needed to backup it is him.

Don't care how good someone is, if they are not on the field, it does not matter.

Said it last year, will say it again, a 24 year old with meniscus issues is dead meat in the NFL at his position.

Can add OT to the needs of CB, DT and 2nd WR.

I always wonder how people come up with these deadlines; "if he's not out there by the next to the last exhibition game or the game before my mothers birthday" etc.

I'm pretty sure he's a hell of a player when healthy and the staff are doing all they can to keep him healthy for the games that matter.

Don't panic till you really have a reason but I understand your concern.

Do you live under a rock with no internet? They were talking about swelling in his knee well over a week ago.

Try and keep up.

It's possible that they are just being extra extra cautious with him, hell I would be. I mean look at everyone that hasn't played. Smitty has a cut finger so they dont play him, Beason is probably doesn't feel like playing, so he's not out there. Stewart only comes out for regular season games. Gamble has a cold, so he's not playing.

If it drags on into the regular season a few games then I'll get concerned.

He has barely played any preaseason since we drafted him.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
