I wouldn’t want a soft QB who avoided a challenge. Imagine Cam doing this…actually I can’t even imagine it because he’s an alpha to the core. We need a strong leader who wants to win at QB. Need a tougher mentality. None of this “nice sweet baby Bryce” crap.

Well they were wrong on that last part. He was most certainly a reason for the panthers struggles last year. He touched the ball every play. The difference is you give the rookie a pass. He’s no longer getting a pass after a full year and offseason.

Draft status/story/politics > performance He will get another shot somewhere solely based on the “elite processor good kid Bama heisman” myth.

It’s not the only issue but it’s a big one. Height may not matter to all 5’10” guys, but it matters to our 5’10” guy, since he is consistently on his tippy toes and has to jump throw his screen passes. It may be all in his head and he is tip toeing unnecessarily…but his height is causing him to play small, and that’s all that matters currently. I agree with you though; there is a lot more causing him to struggle too. Not just height.

I think it’s just too soon for this talk but that’s just my opinion. One catch and run TD from Andy to XL and then we may prematurely think the opposite. Hopefully with this QB change (at least) the skill players can be properly evaluated.

“Pissed” is how he should have been after his first throw of the season.

Drake Maye has physical talent. I’d drop the “for now” regarding Bryce. He’s done.

I’ll get called dumb or something but Wilks should have been kept and those who even considered keeping him were ridiculed at the time.

Yes.

Teddy taught me that. Completion percentage is the most over cited “positive” attribute of a QB.

Bryce isn’t starting for football reasons. The “story” of Bryce is why he’s starting. Dalton existing proves it isn’t about winning football games; even if he’s washed.

I don’t think he gives TE1 back.

I’d love if Corral got another shot here. I used to argue with @mrcompletely11 about him all the time. Only guy who liked him more than me was that Young Lion guy. Forget his name. Either way, getting attached to a player is a hell of a drug. Probably own MrC an apology. I was a butthurt bitch at times.

For the love of god we need to stop giving away the draft picks we hit on. Yeah I know…injury history. That’s a variable that is always out of anyone control. Don’t care honestly. We successfully drafted an extremely talented football player. It’s difficult to hit on draft picks, and he is a stud. I’m tired of being a farm team.

You guys think Bears fans are worried about their QB’s throwing velocity?

Cam changed my thoughts on QB stats. I saw the media contort and misrepresent his statistics over the years, often completely leaving out his rushing production, making him look bad. End of the day, none of that mattered anyway. I never felt like he couldn’t move the ball down the field. That’s all that matters. Move the ball against a defense that doesn’t want that to happen, and allow your team to be in position to score. So the ultimate QB stat to me? Points per game. Can you lead/move/will your offense down the field? If so, the stats will come.

Yeah that was my thinking when I said that. Minter was the man. Deon was solid but I believe he came more into his own after leaving. Woods is smart, consistent, plays very instinctual, and covers a lot of weakness at corner since Horn can’t stay on the field. I just can’t help but notice him in good ways, and rarely do I notice him in bad ways. Like the worst thing about him is all the “defenseless receiver” penalties…and I’ll be damned if those aren’t subjective. And it’s tough to get mad at a safety for clocking a dude over the middle. It’s one of the most satisfying aspects of football.

Not a household name but just wanted to give X Woods love. He’s one of the best safeties in team history imo and more would see that if the league wasn’t so soft. Ten years ago every one of his “personal foul” hits would just be “perfectly timed” hits.

I’d have to assume he has a guarantee he’s coach next year no matter what. Tep wants every chance to save face on Bryce. I find it hard to believe any coach can look at what Bryce did last year and not bring in competition otherwise.

I know people aren’t excited about the next QB class, but when your QB is worse than all the starters and some backups, every draft is a good QB draft.

Ewers is QB1 if and only if he grows the mullet back.

You may end up being proved correct. Hoping that’s not the case, but totally understandable.

Johnson/Leota standing out is a sight for sore eyes. What a win for us if they step up their game. Good to see Barno too. After an evening at Golden Corral, I had an experience in the bathroom that can only be described as "Panther-esque". We just needed 1 of these guys to turn a corner and we may luck out with more production than I hoped for.

We just need to give Dan the benefit of the doubt until he shows he shouldn’t be GM. It’s my opinion that Burns can’t be held against him. I understand anything reminding us of Fitt/Rhule leaves a bad taste, and Morgan may end up a terrible GM, but I’m willing to give him a couple seasons with judgement aside. Naturally, we all can do what we want, and I absolutely could be coping/holding on to fandom of Dan the player; but it’s allowed me to enjoy the off-season more. And I have, outside of the bad feeling I have about the QB position.

Getting a livable raise from a minimum wage job is tough. You start so low. The best way to get a purposeful raise is to just find another job. Here’s to the 2025 draft.
