Well, if BY is coming in 3rd….all the more reason he shouldn’t even be on our roster. And you don’t just bring in one guy

QB has a pretty massive on that opening drive that likely impacted Canales the rest of the game

yep. Before Bryce arrived it was universally deemed the best spot for any rookie to land.....but Bryce is trash and so we opted to do what we always do in Carolina....put all the blame on someone else. Bryce is basically Matt Rhule. We spent years of the Rhule era putting blame elsewhere. Bryce is the key cog issue now.

WRs get open. The OL can block. The RBs can run. there has been one consistent thing in Carolina the past 3 years. Bryce Young. And he basically is the same dude that couldn't play as a rookie.

if Lance, Heinke, and Young were all 3 in a legit non-bias QB battle. Bryce Young would finish 3rd.

Wilson is such a weird one. He had a historical D. Great run game. Really really good WR that made great catches deep. No clue how good prime Wilson really was.

That bet against the Panthers guy in the long run likely was right. People just couldn’t stomach the hiccup

True. Bree’s is a legit all timer. But a I think old Brees makes some forget about just how willing he to was back a defense off his game going deep.

They both were naturally aggressive in the pass game QBs.

Icky spoke on it first and he endured both Rhule and Frank

Bryce has one miracle game vs Atlanta. 140 yard average in his other starts and 0 passing TDs.

100% real. She wears a headset too. You can literally find her on the sideline directly behind the coach writing her notes down. And that’s not a onetime occurrence. It’s the norm.

Yep. Could we win? Sure. But it would be Rico and the D doing it. Atlanta doesn’t have a good run D. It’s bad. And if a bad D crowds the box and Rico can find a lane?? That’s a homerun. Crowding to stop the run means you have to stop it or it’s bad news

121 yards and 124 yards. Thats Bryce vs the NFCS this year. Bryce couldn’t do diddly vs Atlanta the first time. all Atlanta has to do is load the box like the Saints and just give the ball to Bijan on repeat. No way are they gonna let Penix gift us a game again.

I think Tepper was largely truthful on what he would do here. He isn’t in on most things. He hires people to do jobs. He is in on the big stuff. Folks probably know what does and doesn’t need a thumbs up or down on. I don’t think he is telling folks what to do exactly. I think when things are glaringly bad…..he goes so, what about X. And there will be talks on X. Until X isn’t a problem. Tepper’s biggest issue thus far IMO is he just hires bad people at the top . But it’s not like he is the Colts owner with a live headset on, on the sideline, behind the coach, taking notes.

this is called gaslighting with bad information. they do not have 28 deep completions, and they are not top 10 in yards and completions going deep lol. did you ask AI do pull that info for you? This is the problem w/ relying on AI. It doesn't do a good job.

There is a reason it goes public Dave.

well, I guess in my hypothetical......I had different options competing for the #1 spot and it wasn't Bryce vs Joe Flacco. Lance in a 1 vs 1 QB battle right now just seems like the opening bar is already being set to low for the #1 spot. I mean, bringing him. But he should be the #3 at least when camp opens.

I'd have no issue w/ a Trey Lance coming in and competing for the backup job. And if he earned that? Well, if things got rocky you could give it a shot. But bringing in Lance to be your QB #1 battle out the gate? No thanks.

Almost everyone is an upgrade. We could ignore all starting QBs and list the 32 backup QBs in the NFL.....and find a ton of upgrades. I mean, many if the convo is just about who is better today and that's all the convo is.

my guess on that is.... Tepper hires people. Often bad people. He is nosey. He is hard. I think he wants final thumbs up or down on select things. But he largely lets bad people do their job....until he fires them. I do think he was the tie breaker on Bryce. and I think Bryce Young was largely a Carolina GM decision. Fitterer, Morgan and their team. That's how we got him. Tepper sided with their argument over Team Frank. I think Tepper gave Canales the thumbs up to part last season with Bryce. Then I think they all sort of got blinded that he could be fixed and gave it a go this year.....after this mistake of allowing the return from the dead and miracle. I don't buy this unique only to Bryce argument that Tepper is tripling down on something that doesn't work. That's not the Tepper way at all. I think you got to fault the GM office the most. I think that's the team w/ the most egg on their face and the most at stake in the BY argument. And I also think, Morgan is merely here because David Tepper couldn't find anyone good that was willing to come here.

Heinicke to me falls into the gamer/gameday category. The type that looks better on gameday than in a practice week. Dudes just going to find a way to make some random plays. The every day consistency or in game consistency just isn't going to be there.

I mean, he is completely washed and old. And he keeps injury the same thumb over and over because he is old and broken down. I still think a fully healthy Dalton over an extended period if you can get it (which you can't) is a more threatening team than Bryce at QB. He made it what, one series before hurting it again.
