Hey! Lets draw conclusions from OTA's and offseason practices!

Before anyone starts spouting off about how any of the draft picks look in OTAs or summer school let me give my annual reminder of how those practices mean absolutely nothing in terms of how the rookies will look this year.

They are not allowed any contact. Trying to evaluate a rookie DT or LB without allowing them to touch other players is like evaluating a tennis player without a tennis ball.

Want to talk about their work ethic, punctuality, or haircut? Fine.

Want to draw conclusions on how they look? Ridiculous

We won't have any clue on how these guys progress until a couple weeks into training camp when they put on their pads and have their first scrimmage.

I know I know, you all know this already.

Love,

Zod

also, WRs dropping passes and even QBs overthrowing them isn't really an issue at that point.

it's more important learning routes and where everyone is supposed to be and their assignments. they can fine tune the stuff in TC. it's ok to make mistakes in the learning stage.

      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.
