Who Said What?

I am with you on this one. I thought Nakamura was put in the starting role because he was such a sure tackler of sorts. He also was supposed to cut down on the confusion in the defensive backfield with his calls and such. He has been terrible. Its like Ace Ventura II, cause when the ball carrier gets to Nakamura he like this is it. I have to beat him.

Wow, if I were to get in a time machine, go back 8 months and say that there would be threads calling for Sherrod Martin to start, none of y'all would believe me.

I think Sherrod does need to see the field more to help cover good receivers, like Cruz last week, Jones next week or Ramses mothafukking Barden. We should still use Haruki in some packages though, namely for run stuffing.

Martin has potential and 0 talent

Nakamura has 0 potential and 0 talent

No. Martin has tons of potential and tons of talent. He's just had extremely poor execution so far in his career. He needs to start. Nakamura, was supposed to be a solid contributor that could allow Martin to develop. Except that he's been complete poo and by aligning the secondary to cover for his lack of skill set we are leaving HUGE holes in the zone. I would much rather see martin get burned a few times deep but still be in position to make plays then see mid range routes sit in an underneath hole in our zone with no one within 10 yards of them, only to see Nakamura come flying in about 3 seconds after the catch and throw his helmet at their legs.

Ever since Nakamura got the job I have said it wouldn't be the last of Martin. Talent gap is too big. We play with 2 weak SSs essentially. Don't care if he backed up Ed Reed at S....he isn't a FS.

Ain't that the truth. I think Kuechly would make a better FS. With his speed and nose for the ball, he reminds me of Polamalu more than anyone.

Actually, this might not be a bad idea. Hey, guys! I fixed the franchise!

      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.
