Something I noticed about the toughest two game stretch on the schedule

Not trying to look ahead too much, but I was looking at the schedule and BOTH the 49ers and Patriots will be coming off their bye week when they play the Panthers.  So in consecutive weeks, the Panthers will have to play the past two Superbowl runner-ups, well rested and with an extra week to game plan against Cam Newton and the Panthers.  If that's not the toughest two game stretch the Panthers have played in recent memory, I don't know what is.

 

If the Panthers win both of those games, they are legit Superbowl contenders.  I'm just hoping they can just win one of them to keep pace in the NFC.

Alot of teams have laid eggs after their bye week. The Panthers did it against the Cardinals, The Vikings were coming off a bye week when playing us. Also the Dolphins laid an egg against Buffalo this past week after coming off an bye.

 

Since 2003, the Patriots have only lost once after their bye week (2011 vs the Steelers).  And the Steelers weren't exactly slouches that year.  Tom Brady+Bill Belichick are VERY good after their bye week.

 

Jim Harbaugh's 49ers are 1-0-1 in games after their bye week.  No real tellings stats there.

They couldn't beat the rams coming off a bye, that's pretty telling.

Neither of those teams are as great as they have been in recent years IMHO, and both can be beaten. Shula needs to keep doing what he's been doing and morph his gameplan around what the defense gives, not around what he thinks we should get. And I'll put our D up against any offense in the league right now and feel like we have at least a punchers chance.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
