That was Carolina vs Atlanta in the last game of the season last year. Went all out to spoil the Falcons

Didn't they split with the Saints and Falcons last year? It can happen.

So the NFL is recognizing Bryce's game, but his "fans" are saying he isn't worthy. Lawd make this make sense. Now I see what Smitty meant. Geez!

Big passing yards usually come with big YAC. Teams are playing alot more cover 2 and 3 nowadays. Panthers are just now figuring out they should take shots deep when the defense is in 0 or 1.

I know we want to consistently see more yards. I do too. But 175 yards, 3 TDs and no INTs can win games. Heck, it actually is for Carolina this season.

I absolutelyagree. I also want better than TMac right now, better than Coker and Legette. I want better than Evans and Sanders too. Those players aren't great. They're below average to good right now. But I do believe they can all improve as they get more experience along with their HC/OC. I guess where I differ from the consensus is that I see BY improving. Just as his targets are. His list of dumb ish is diminishing every game. And his list of good plays are increasing.

Aggressively go after a QB? Like 2 first rounders, a second rounder and TMac aggressive? That's what got us here. Build the team, then get the QB. If you think this passing offense is set minus BY today, you're not being honest with yourself. Now they have potential, but they aren't as good as many seem to think. I can't think of any games this season where I said yeah our receivers and TEs are better than theirs. If they can upgrade QB without doing something ridiculous, then I'm all for it. If not, then continue to improve the TEAM and THEN get your rookie QB like they should have done 3 seasons ago.

Bryce should absolutely be penciled in as the starter going in to the offseason. If they can draft a guy or acquire a vet that improves the position, then AWESOME! Let there be competition. But change for the sake of change puts us back in the Browns and Jets territory. Bryce and the WRs/TEs need time to develop.

I just don't understand how we want a third year QB to "ball out" with a rookie WR as his #1, a rookie TE as his #1 TE, 2 sophomore WRs (one is a 1st rounder that is being outplayed by the other who is an UDFA), a sophomore TE that struggles with blocking, and Tommy Tremble. And all of that with what's now a 2nd year HC, who's calling plays for his third time - ever! This is a super young team that is outperforming expectations right now. The Panthers are winning games against better teams and the QB is a big reason why. You have to give Bryce, TMac, Legette, Coker, Evans, Sanders and Canales time. Otherwise we could just be the Browns or the Jets. No one wants that anymore. If they were going backwards, then yes, blow it up again. They aren't. They're getting better. They look like an actual competent NFL team. They're wildly inconsistent because they're incredibly young and inexperienced. All of them. Not just Bryce. But they're arrow is pointing up, so we should be patient and ride it out. It could be alot worse. A lot worse.

Agree with most of what you said. Looked to me like BY was reading the Safety. Once the Safety followed XL, BY switched to TMac. TMac was being blanketed by a CB all the way across the field - the rub was ineffective. I agree Bryce throws to a spot away from the flat defender, but I don't think it was necessarily a predetermined spot or route. It appeared to be chemistry between the QB and WR. TMac is at the 29 after that ball is released, and then he adjusts to catch it at the 20.

I have family up in Dillon and Florence, and they have similar accents. So, I love the guy. But could you imagine if BY threw him the TD pass he threw to TMac? He would have damn near killed himself adjusting and still dropped it. If he somehow would have caught it, he definitely would have fallen down afterwards. And the Huddle would have said look at that horrible pass by BY.

I feel like turnovers were a big part of 2015. Like a huge part.

Legette reached out with his hands to touch the DB on the way by. Barely a well executed rub. It didn't affect the DB at all (DB mugging TMac the whole route, literally no separation). TMac was running flat since the DB was over top of him. Bryce throws the ball upfield, the DB jumped inside as soon as it was released thinking it would be to where TMac was going. TMac ADJUSTS to the ball and catches it running upfield for the TD. Like come on yall...

kinda agree with this. I just don't think it's as much physical as we tend to think. It's his reluctance to push the ball downfield that irks the heck out of me sometimes. Like just give your guys a chance. What's the worst that can happen?

OTs early but really good IOL is almost always available 4th round and beyond. Heck UDFA is a great time to pick up guys that need a year or 2 before you pencil them in as starters.
