I'd add in backup RB. Otherwise, Miles is the best option there but I fear he could be a cap casualty. Of course they could get by with just a guy like Blackshear and Boone, but another playmaking receiving RB would lowkey add another receiving threat without adding an actual receiver or TE. Canales likes to incorporate RBs into the passing game but that just isn't really Chuba's forte.

Passes batted down. Can't see over the middle. Extensive injuries All issues with Bryce being too small. Did I miss anything?

But not quite Stoic Ron either.

Isn't he in his 3rd season? Wouldn't you have 2 more years of manageable salary with the 5th year option? If that's the case, then just a matter of draft picks. Gonna have to pay him, but not for another 2 seasons.

What about Demani Richardson. I think he can replace Woods role. But we do need a ball hawking and coverage FS.

shades or no?

I agree. I don't think Miles is bad, just not really good. Either way, he's injured way too much to count on as a backup. Backup RBs play every Sunday and need to be able to carry a series or two a game.

Are you saying the Panthers have better receiving targets than the Texans? So do you honestly think Thielen, Coker, Sanders, Moore, Thompkins and XL are a better group than Diggs, Nico, Dell, Shultz, Metchie and Woods? You serious or kidding?

Man, what if they bring Ian back? Tremble is a Panther all the way. He's the type of guy you want on your team. Jordan Fuller should have been left in ATL. That dude plays defense like a WR.

I think we saw enough to know what he is - a body catcher. It's more a confidence thing. He has it in him. But he isn't a "natural" hands catcher so it'll always rear its head at the worst times. Bryce throws with a lot of anticipation. So he's throwing to a spot. Receivers will have to be confident catching outside of their body.

That can't be true. Bryce ran a couple of times due to the pocket breaking down.

Aren't guys here pushing to draft a Drake London comparison in the top 10 - we probably won't even get a chance to draft him with the #8 pick? Panthers receivers played well yesterday, but they have a long way to go before they're declared the future. The same holds true for Bryce, but is it fair to judge a QB if you aren't even sure of his receivers yet? Should be an exciting ride.

Kind of like KC was. If they can afford him, that team would instantly become a juggernaut. Assuming Zay is or will be fine.

Anyone mention how well the receivers played yesterday? Even got a little YAC. Nothing crazy, but at least they weren't falling down or running out of bounds after the catch. XL, JT Sanders, Coker, and of course AT. Still need a big YAC guy, but if the young guys can continue to develop I'm not sure a high draft pick is needed.

Agree. The offense wasn't good scheme wise, at least for a rookie. That week 3 game was definitely a benching. Should have kept him on the bench a couple more weeks when it was obvious he wasn't ready. I honestly believe Tepper wouldn't allow it last season. So I give Tepper some credit for stepping back and allowing Canales to run the team.

With a healthy Jaycee Horn covering whoever came to his side of the field. Bad. Just bad.

Rivera is not that aggressive. He relies on the front four applying pressure to the QB. That wouldn't work here now. Plus his defense is bend but don't break either. Now if the Panthers could draft a Luke, Thomas Davis, Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy and Josh Norman this year, then it just might work.

up to 84 now. Maybe should lose privileges or something.

Makes perfect sense. I just think that goes without saying. EVERY position needs to have that kind of competition. Every one. Right down to the place kicker. Heck, even the backups at some positions should have strong competition. Definitely don't think they should bring in a low end QB just to save Bryce's feelings or something. That would NOT be productive. But whoever that guy is should not impact their ability to bring in playmakers at the WR, DE, FS, ILB, DT positions. Those are infinitely more important needs.

Hahaha!!! Hallucinations, an increase in body temperature and heart rate, heavy sweating, muscle weakness, nausea and vomiting, and lack of coordination... are in fact not the way. ain't nobody got time for that.

Roger that. Maybe I misunderstood the intent of your post. Would just kinda seem unneccessary to mention that they'd have a backup QB next season. They'll have backups on the roster at every single position, except maybe some specialists. I interpreted your original post as bringing in real competition for the starting QB position as motivation for BY to continue to improve. Agree they should bring in a guy that could win a few games in case of injury. But BY has EARNED the starting QB position. It's his to lose at this point. That's what happened after the benching. Starting QBs don't have to Re-earn their position every year. That's not productive for anyone. I think Bill Parcells said, if you have 2 QBs you don't have any. I agree with that.

Not sure if I completely agree. Use FA to focus on a proven WR or Edge. If Bryce sucks like the first 2 games this year, then you let him drive us to the #1 pick and his replacement. But you'll never know what we have in him if this receiving corps isn't improved. We need a guy. At least one.

I love your enthusiasm sir!!! you may need to take a break from the peyote. but I love your spunk!

Which part was a strawman argument - in your opinion? To bring in a backup that would compete with BY would take significant draft capital or salary cap that can be better appropriated to improve positions of weakness. If you're thinking a 5th round draft pick, then I'm all for it. But they wouldn't really be pushing BY for the start.

That's a fair point. But the margin between wins and losses in the NFL is usually very small. Like one or two plays small. They really do have to figure that part out at some point in order to be successful, no matter how much talent they bring in.
