They are treating him like an NFL starting QB. Like he's one of the 32 best QB's in the world. Let's be honest though, there's really only 3-5 great QB's in the NFL. Another handful of really good ones and then another handful that you can possibly win with. Does Bryce land in that middle group or the last one.

I'm not sure when they have to be down to 90 but I assume 5 or 6 maybe are going to be cut before camp even gets here. I assume these invites do not count at the moment but will if they are signed.

Jankowski on the ice!

I have listened to Smitty's reviews, especially the one on Mingo, and Smitty was still positive but still decidedly noncommittal at the end of the day. He never ever said that Mingo was going to be some great receiver. Y'all need to be truthful.

As I said in another thread, the majority of his "work ethic issues" stem from that McShay report, that is pretty widely assumed/known in the Arizona community that it was our POS old coach who was throwing shade because he was upset that T-Mac and Fifita didn't follow him to Washington. In 3 years at Arizona, there was never a single shred of evidence or mention that he had work ethic issues.

Jank is playing today, so Jankowski

I think its the other way around he has been wrong a few times and people hang onto it.

Smitty is out here guessing like everyone is. He's wrong a lot for sure, but not wrong all the time. That being said, he should know that it doesn't even take blazing or even great speed to have a damned good career. He was the little man who played like a big man. Loved his effort (even though he admitted that he took plays off at some point during his career)! I think he's growing though...hopefully. He's particularly hard on receivers that he perceives as not putting in the necessary effort. On an off note: Truthfully--being totally honest--If there was another asshole receiver just like Smitty, I'd draft him in a heartbeat if I were a GM and had the opportunity.

I'm not saying he's wrong on all of his projections, he's right on some, no doubt about it. But I'd say he's been way more wrong than right when evaluating WRs over the last 5 years or so, I'd consider that regularly in my book, but to each his own.

As I just said in another thread... Without this trade, T-Mac is not a Panther. I don't need to know anything else other than that, we won this trade, or maybe I just did, who knows, but I don't care because I'm still floating on Cloud 9.

I wouldnt say regularly

And yet you can't name the backups who are better than him.

I have seen some suggestion that T-Mac has issues with work ethic. I hope those reach his ears and he takes that as motivation to work extremely hard to be dominant.

I'm not throwing anymore shade at Tmac, hope he becomes a great player for the Panthers

I’m pretty much fuging over this guy. He’s got himself on wayyy to high a pedestal. Also…see Jonathan Mingo.

I think we should have tried to iimprove our QB room. Dalton as a mentor is fine but I don't want him playing long term. We should always be trying to improve, even in the backup QB spot. I'm more concerned about the team than a year one particular player. Look at Purdy, Dak, and Brady. All young backup players that had success once they had an opportunity to injury. Players that started moving forward. Jimmy G was a backup that was traded for a 2nd. These are exceptions to the rule, but you'll never find the gem if you never look. We should be developing multiple QBs all the time. BY is the starter for now but should always feel pushed. I don't want the team to fall apart if BY suffers an injury. Next man up. Always try to improve the caliber of players on your team.

This guy is an athletic freak. This is an interesting move.

It's going to hinge on Bryce vs. Caleb Williams. Whomever turns into the better QB would "win" unless they are fairly close and then I would think the Bears would win in that scenario pretty conclusively.

One of my favorite things about us taking T-Mac is that I get to see my Arizona boards attack my GOAT (haven't been able too decide which boards I'm enjoying more... rubbing it in my fellow Wildcat fan's faces that my NFL team took our guy or just celebrating on here that we took him, they're equally fun in different ways lol). Needless to say, Smitty is not a well liked person these days in Tucson, and all the Wildcat family is talking about how they hope T-Mac takes all his Panthers records away (which frankly I agree now as just a Panthers fan, because it means we drafted a HOFer). But one of the things I keep telling them is that as Panthers fans, we know Smitty is regularly wrong on his WR projections and that Smitty hating on T-Mac is probably a better sign for his career than the opposite.

Best news I've heard all day.

I think we can get 2-3 starters and up to 3 more good contributors. That's something I've never seen from a Panthers draft

I think its pretty clear. He tanked several interviews with teams that he didn't want to play with, then word spread. After the teams that needed a QB took a QB the other teams didn't want to deal with his drama as a backup. In the end the Browns double dipped at QB because they the Browns. If not he would have gone undrafted

I always liked Smitty he is one of my favorite Panthers but don’t care for his WR analysis or any thoughts on football he’s just not that good. I remember when Larry Fitzgerald was a rookie, Smitty was on WFNZ radio after a game saying how he looked slow and wasn’t impressed. Needless to say Larry had an even better career

I've been wanting to move on as soon as we drafted him so.....YES we better move one of he craps the bed
