Eh Fields still makes bigger plays with his legs etc... I don't really care why the guy sucks, what he can't put together, etc. fields is a huge disappointment, yeah, but I don't want him on this team so that part doesn't really bother me.
I agree the post is a bit ridiculous and there's so many worse players overall because of off field attributes. Bryce is seemingly pretty likeable off field.
But in terms of on field, I would argue he has done more damage to my personal enjoyment of watching Panthers football than any other player because we're 40 games in to it. There are absolutely worse players. Fields may be the only one that's been given more chances, and (I know this is purely subjective) I find him more fun to watch even if he is also infinitely annoying in his inability to put it together.
I'd still never say he's my least favorite player. But man, I can barely watch Panthers games these days and I get so deflated when I realize it isn't one of his decent games we get every 5+ games. But at least the D resurgence has me enjoying seeing DB chuck people across the field.
Wild to think the different direction this franchise goes in if Stroud goes #1 overall. He has had his own struggles but has definitely looked like he belongs and he is far more like what Reich wanted in a QB.
Ah well.
I wish Reich had forced him to sit his entire rookie year but I think his hands were tied. Or he was so pissed he wanted to run everyone's nose in how BAD Bryce was... Because man...
I'll just take myself a Joe Burrow and a couple of rookie QBs, please
I agree with you though, we basically can upgrade QB with FAR more options than we could realistically downgrade QB, lol. I'm in favor of drafting one *but not reaching* and bringing in a vet and another developmental guy.
So 5+ years after Cams best football was behind him, now you think we don't deserve a franchise QB?
I dunno man, plenty of us malcontents here loved Cam and were huge supporters of his. It's not like we fans drove him off in his prime, either - he was never the same after the shoulder injury and Tepper Teppered that situation all up.
I think a player like Jake at least allows you to build a team around him without it feeling like you are ignoring the best position on the field entirely. And he had a couple of years in the top third of the league IMO and many others where you knew he was a threat and no stage was too big.
We just desperately need new blood in the QB room.
I want a Cam at QB but I'd settle for someone that isn't statistically in the bottom third of everything.
Edit: alright id not really settle until we had an elite player at that position haha
