I of course have no idea, but I suspect they did not want to give up on Bryce at that time and drafting another QB would have sent the wrong message to Bryce. Picking NFL QBs is a crapshoot and even sound franchises miss and I'd be willing to throw a 4th rounder to see if Shedeur can make it. I think he's better than Bryce which I know isn't saying much. As a fyi, Carolina played its starters against Cleveland for part of the game and he still lit them up.

Everything Tepper does is lightspeed stupid and I agree that this would be yet another, stupid move.

Why not throw a 4th rounder at Shedeur Sanders and let's see what happens. Dalton is gone after this year so they are going to have to get a vet anyway and I doubt Bryce is going anywhere although I also doubt that they give him a long term contract.

The Panthers are going to go after a vet QB in the offseason and I doubt it is Lawrence. With jobs on the line, the staff and coaches will not want to wait for another rookie QB to develop. My guess is the Panthers overpay for Mac Jones and they end up with the New England version instead of the San Fran version.

Given that it didn't impact the game, the pumps and the subsequent holding out two fingers to the ref was absolutely hilarious.

No argument but he still takes away half of the field for most plays. He's that talented. And Brown is having a pro bowl year.

No idea . . . people just like to argue online with strangers these days and I'll never understand it.

This team is 5-4 with two winnable games ahead and then play San Fran on Monday night football. I'm just going to enjoy the next three weeks and not analyze how or why this team is 5-4.

There are no easy games in the NFL and especially divisional opponents.

I’m not a Bryce fan, but let’s be honest, he has a bunch of rookie and inexperienced WRs and TEs. I don’t want him long term, but he’s not awful.

Again, we need to stop trading good players for draft picks. It is so frustrating as a fan.

If he's QB2 then it restores some faith in Canales and Morgan because Dalton is done.

Panthers have to stop trading talent for draft picks. As a fan, it is draining to watch our players go off on other teams.

Unless the Panthers implode the rest of the season, Canales will be back next year and probably Evero as well. Morgan needs to have another draft like last year and then the Panthers will have enough talent where Canales' coaching deficiencies will likely be exposed. Or maybe he learns and improves as a coach and the Panthers are a legitimate football team with playoff aspirations.

If this was the plan, Canales failed miserably. I can't imagine watching Dalton in practice and thinking he can win an NFL game, but maybe he's a good practice player.
