One more Newton/Panther trolling remark laid to rest

QB is still the ultimate factor.....Johnson isn't the same WR with Yates on the field and the run game takes a hit.

look at Smiity last year in games with Clausen vs Moore.

Proof? Only game they both started Johnson had almost 100 yards and he got injured that game. Hard to say he is a different WR when the one game they started together shows he is the same.

Watch the Texans when Andre comes back.....he isn't the same WR as when Schaub is on field. Shouldn't be. Cant replace Schaub with Yates and assume the rest stays the same bc he hit one big pass to AJ.

Based on the only game they had together Johnson still got his yards and catches. Doesn't matter if Schaud or Yates are at QB, whether Johnson plays or not makes a difference for the team.

AJ might not be "the same" with Yates but he likely would have made a difference in out game.

I don't even think he would have made too big a difference, I believe Gamble would have been able to contain him somewhat. I was just pointing out that it isn't the same team that beat Atlanta as someone said.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
