So you are saying to trust the Matt Rhule 7 year plan with Bryce?

Saying he's better than Tua or Jacoby is a little bit of a stretch when you start looking at the numbers. Saying he's better than Ward or McCarthy at this point generally means nothing. Anyone who is being totally objective, in my opinion, I'm thinking will at least acknowledge that picking up Bryce's 5th year option is just as much (if not more) about what was invested to acquire him---and the Panthers' overall situation in regards to draft position, lack of draft capital, real capital or obvious options, and just the general QB market--and his, at best, middling play (and that's a marked stretch). Though we're giving Bryce another year, based upon his play, I don't think that most NFL types will have great expectations.

Really? He seems like the opposite of Alex Smith... Bad enough to keep you out of the playoffs, but when you do make it, he plays one of his better games and might steal a win for you

You may could say he's been one of the worst starting qbs in the NFL for 3 years. Some people refuse to accept this

Winston's only better in that he's not Bryce. Statistically, he was worse.

I'm not comparing the talent more so as he can get you to the playoffs but can't win a Superbowl. You can't pay that guy mega bucks but you can build the team with him on the roster then drop in a guy when the rest of the team is ready to win the whole thing

I didn’t get any kind of vibe off of Rico that he wanted to come back and play for Idzik and Canales and split time like he did this year.

Bryce Young's performance and whatever anyone thinks of it shouldn't become a built-in excuse, let alone a crutch, for the worst pass rush in the NFL.

Looking back at the prior years just looking at y/g QBR and qb rating, Byoung really hasnt progressed very much. I dont understand how people especially media can say he is an above average or even average nfl qb he has yet to show from a stats perspective for a season that he is even higher than 27th ranked. Oh well panthers being panthers I expect a long term contract for him soon paying him around the 10th highest qb in the league.

we saw one game in 2023 when a QB was willing to stand in a pocket and deliver the ball in Frank's offense.....and it was drastically different than anything Bryce showed. The whole, no one could of done better defense has never had legs.

Bryce can’t hold Alex smiths jock

https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/01/12/panthers-nfl-jonathon-brooks-jonathan-stewart/88151503007/ There isn’t a lot to it. Basically Stew wants us to buy a Brooks jersey and Brooks trusts in God to bring him through.

Smith didn't really pan out until his 7th year in the NFL.

i thought Bryce was our franchise QB

Link is more busted than Brooks knee

Also why didn’t Canales tell Evero to make sure the Rams score quickly if he was so keen to the situation. Evero is just a symptom of Canales limitations as coach.

Alex Smith was a more efficient passer and had a higher YPA. They are comparable in some ways but at 6'4 213 Alex Smith was not limited the way Bryce is.

The defense did its job which is keep points off the board for the most part. The drive before the Rams took the lead the offense has a 3 and out. You don’t stop a Super Bowl contender offense by hoping they don’t win the game. You do it by not letting them have the ball in the first place.

Couldn't have said it better myself. We are doomed if we sign this bum long term.

The format is clear as day. Both are 1 overall picks. Both are super conservative and game managers. Smith lead the cheifs to Mahomes. Bryce will lead us to our next true franchise QB.

Pick up the 5th. Use Bryce like Alex smith then draft a mahomes type player. Bryce is the perfect bridge.

Wish the Huddlers had a vote in that.

I understand the panthers picking it up, but Byoung was the 27th ranked starting qb this year based on QBR 30th looking at regular qb rating, 28th in yards per game, thats in his third year so basically they picked up the fifth year option for a well below average nfl starter. Hopefully they are not going to just sit on the qb room for next year need to bring in a vet and a draft a qb best player wins

Agreed. Bryce doesn't deserve a 1 year contract.

He was much more bad than good, IMO.
