You can’t just cherry pick a missed opportunity…put it on the board after the fact and claim we win if it happened. If you change a play in the 3rd q….everything else that happened wouldn’t stay the same. If Tremble caught that ball in the 3rd…we would have still been behind at that time.

That’s not how football works. If Tremble holds onto the ball, Carolina would have still been trailing and quarter and a half of football would have then followed. Bryce was fine today. There has been nothing about him that says you would want to build around him and make him your guy. KC isn’t really a great team this year either. They have a great record. A crap team like the Raiders probably hangs with them next week too.

Sure looks like Clemson vs South Carolina might esssntially be a play in game for the playoffs. so just purely from a “rivalry” standpoint, that setups for a great game at least. Should be good fun on an in state level and bragging rights. I used rivalry in quotations since SC has only won one game in the last decade and has overall been dominated in the series.

I think this is basically worst case scenario… Bryce morphing into just… okay. His ceiling is incredibly low. He doesn’t have tools to be great at this level. It’s just not in the cards. and he ends up handicapping our plans to build forward by being functional a close game vs KC….Gardner Menshew did that too. LV isn’t thinking they might have something.

You had to go for it on 4th there and make that the game. I think Canales now is playing for the close loss vs KC making the score look like it wasn’t close

Well, that was a fine opening drive. Canales always seems fine on the opening script.

I just got here boss. and I was at a bar this afternoon/evening in SC. Clemson on 1 TV. Gameocks on a couple. And those were bad games. Rest SEC. BYU on a couple. Colorado wasn’t even on 1 TV. This is a Panther board. Hence, SEC and ACC country. No one here is really talking Colorado unless YOU seek it outside of a random Hunter mention (like Jeanty gets). Or something in the main forum about our lack of QB. No one here actually cares about a meh big 12 team. Wrong part of the country

Meh. I can handle them getting in as ACC champs if Miami loses to Syracuse (which I think likely happens). But they ain’t good enough to actually compete with the top of college football. I actually don’t like the expansion to 12. It was hard enough to find 4 that belonged in the same tier.

Bruh. Colorado isn’t actually a good team. Not playoff good. They weren’t going to make the playoffs good. Colorado is basically Jake Paul of college football. It’s a sideshow.

They should bench the nepo safety. That would be a start. Deion would take great pleasure in making an example out of a kid like that….but it’s his kid

this. Stats lie. I could throw a 99 yard TD pass to XL. Put if it is a pop pass behind the line of scrimmage and he runs for essentially 105 yards for the score, breaking 5 tackles along the way.....that has nothing to do w/ me.

and while it will change in the NIL era, Bryce is from the Bama/OSU/UGA issue era. Those QBs played on the best rosters in all of college football. Bama essentially being the best. And the gap is MASSIVE vs other teams. It's why there has been such consistency with how those QBs faired once they wren't protected/masked by such a massive talent gap in the competition.

I mean, if Bryce Young had games like Nix did even vs Tampa, LV, etc......we would be throwing a party talking about how maybe the pick was worth it. Nix vs Young simplified. One QB meets all the physical qualities you look for, one had tons of college experience, one is paired up w/ a top tier NFL O mind. the other guy lacks a lot of the qualities you look for, played on the best roster in college football, is paired with meh O folks that have changed and changed (3 playcallers already). Doesn't really matter it's Young or Nix. That setup is largely going to play out the way it has.

Probably gets like 4 carries or something small would be my guess

yeah, moneyline is probably about as safe as a football game gets. I wouldn't touch the spread though.

what's the line? 11? KC has been finding ways to win. But they certainly haven't played like a dominant team this season. 11 seems foolish to bet on. Even meh teams, generally come down to a single score with them this year.

I mean, you just conceded Cam was better. I don't disagree that Jake had a better Super Bowl. Jake also had a better team around him too than Cam.

I put Baker in C. I tried to get that logged an official start. C is crowded.

Put that puts him w/ Jake Delhomme....I couldn't do that.

I'm just ready for when Sanders leaves college football after this year just as I said he would.....and you mental gymnastics your way out of refusing to admit I was right about his mission/goal.

Carolina Panthers starting QB tiers(in Carolina uniform) S - Newton A - Delhomme B - Collins, Beuerlein C - Allen, Moore, Anderson, Darnold, Mayfield, Pete, Testaverde, Walker, Dalton, Bridgewater D - Young, Carr F - Reich, St. Pierre, Grier, Lytle, Heincke, Fasani, Clausen

PJ Walker has as many wins as Bryce in 1/3 the starts. PJ Walker is a better NFL QB and PJ Walker is at best a 3rd string QB.

His size could work against him…BUT Cam is a weird duck. He was wired differently. I would bet on the young Cam that could barely get dressed after a loss….that dude wouldn’t have quit easily IMO. But that dude doesn’t exist anymore.

Larry Fitz going to jump all them dudes next year. So if they don’t get in this year….they got to wait even longer

He might but he shouldn’t. Rings shouldn’t carry that much weight. .500 QB that barely completed 60%. No way should that be first ballot in his era.
