Shut the fug up seriously. This is Panthers only. If it isn't stats, articles, trades, cuts, acquisitions or a topic regarding the Panthers then I don't give a fug.

You're also dangerously close to replacing fug as my most hated member.

I love you

If you are talking NCAA top 40 defenses, the answer is one.

Yup - look @ the level of competition regarding the games he lost last year, too.

I have nothing against RG3 except that he looks like a crack baby and he wears socks purchased on the women's wing of express. With that being said he has NOBODY in the backfield, a HC who is running out of time in the NFL, and an offensive line that may get him killed by week 9.

A lot on his plate. He would have been better off in Seattle, Cleveland, or maybe Dallas. I wish him well.

To some extent, RGIII's attention or whatever you want to call it has a bit to do with Cam's and Dalton's success as rookies with no real off season but I disagree that RG3 wouldn't get attention or be heavily scrutinized if Cam bombed.

However, RG3 showed a lot more passing ability than Cam did in college. Of course there are reasons for that like systems and conference but the point of the matter is that coming out of college RG3 looks a much better passer than Cam.

RG3 won the Heisman, he beat out Luck, who many say is the best QB prospect since probably Elway. He had a socks thing that people strangely liked. He had no NCAA problems, brought a small school into the limelight and by all accounts is a really good guy. Add that with ESPN's thirst to beat a story to death for ratings and he was drafted by Washington, who traded a ton for him.

So even w/o Cam, RG3 would get tons of attentions. Yes, he is probably scrutinized a bit less because of Cam but it isn't anything significant.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      To rub salt in the wound when you look back to what were considered some of the most underwhelming resulting seasons in Panthers history before the Tepper's came along we still managed a top 20 passing offense with journeyman Matt Moore and the ghost of Jake Delhomme in 2009. And Steve Smith was 44th in the league in YAC so it was not a chunk play pass offense. Obviously the run game was dominant with Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Wiliams but comparatively the run game in 2009 only amassed 500 more rushing yards than the 2025 Panthers in a down year for Chuba Hubbard. It shows just how comically desperate we have become to adjust standards that actually used to mean something.

      I wouldn't have picked up the option, to me he's that replaceable. I think the Panthers are taking a more cautious strategy, not ready to move on yet but also holding off on committing to him until the last possible time.  Basically, he's a competent NFL QB. He's bottom third in the league. That's actually not a terrible thing. You can win some with a bottom third QB. If over time he takes a few steps forward he might be a median level QB. I think those are the kinds of steps that Canales is talking about. If you've truly got a median level QB, it's probably worth keeping him as opposed to roll on the dice in the draft. But just to be super clear, I don't think he is capable of taking those steps, and I think we should and will move on after the season

      Unfortunately this is more wishful thinking than anything. The problem is the bar is so low for what they consider success for Bryce Young. I mean we have yet to field even a top 25 passing offense with Bryce Young heading into his fourth season and it's basically considered a when not if we begin contract extension talks with him.
