Holy poo, THE Mike White?!

I think fans get a bit confused about "justifying so and so starting to be team.". For instance, Chuba starting over Rico isn't causing locker room discord. If Andy performs well once, great, that's the job of a backup. It's helpful for the coaches and FO to see that and they wouldn't object to a win no matter who is under center. As to looking like a real offense objectively neither QB matters a lot for that. This offense is buoy for rushing and it's what it does well.

So I completely agree with you that they for once did what they're supposed to do. It's why I'm pretty happy with the win. And we have a fuging winning record!!! But I'm also not gonna stop wanting and hoping for other improvements with my posts. Not that I have any control.

I do not believe there is anyone at any significant level of the organization (fo/staff) that wants this team to lose on Sunday at this point to make Bryce look good. Early in his career he was coddled, yes. But we are still in the playoffs and losing would cause a blow while beating the bills would be amazing And realistically nobody has to worry about The Rusty Rocket really going on a tear, even if we'd like to

No I meant last year's Atlanta game. I legitimately didn't even consider him in this year's LMAO

Need to include these to be fair.

Those are nice stats and all but I want to see more Atlanta games from him. He has seemed timid this year TBH.

If BY was going to miss significant time I could see it, but early reports are pretty good.

Hopefully they look at the tape and settle into Rico as being the #1 and letting Chuba have a few snaps to spell him so he doesn't cramp end of game.

It definitely is but I don't think you can sit him two weeks unless he is seriously injured and supposedly his X-rays were negative. I do think holding him out one game is in the cards. And yes wasn't losing the game was chosen deliberately. Didn't mean I loved his play.

I don't think there has been a Panthers season, no matter how good or bad, where we didn't have complaining here during and after games lol Just the nature of a community like this.

You just precisely summarized my frustration with the game. It isn't "just" about Bryce or Canales or the RB usage etc etc etc. it's just we shouldn't have had it that close in the 4th given how well the D played at times.

Also it's worth noting the backup QB threads are predicated on the idea Young is injured. There's one grumbly Young post and the rest are because we are in contention still and if Young misses any time and frankly regardless we need a backup because Dalton looks old.

I'd argue the defense did not look like dog poo. Especially some of our younger players, Horn, and Brown.

99% of the Chuba commentary was NOT about Chuba personally, it was that Rico was clearly the hotter back today.

Well he didn't exactly look better but he didn't look much worse either lol. Plus most of us that did have also been wanting to bring in a different backup all along, and especially now that Bryce may be out some time

I only think it's miserable if you're somehow upset or frustrated by posters not buying into Young. Plenty of celebratory posts with nothing to do with him

Yes he has, he is bailing too early and he also isn't really doing well completing passes down field. Last week he actually did okay at that. Just concerning long term. I like the guy but we're trying to evaluate him for an extension and if he doesn't develop some consistency I don't know how you can extend him ..

I don't think so - he wasn't losing us the game today...

Dart just tearing it up in the first half... 8 completions, 160 yards, 2 TDs.

Honestly he can be impressive off script. I'd say his best plays have been when he's flushed but doesn't give up. Last year it felt like he'd frequently get 20 yard completions that way. Feels a lot less common this ye

I don't think he's an answer as a starter but he had almost 4k yards and 21 TDs... He can sling it around... But turnovers are a problem for sure. We aren't going to find a perfect backup at this point.

https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/19/panthers-bryce-young-injury-update-week-7/86791091007/ Injured ankle, will evaluate when he's back in Charlotte.

I think folks said Canales called it a sprain... Did he just speculate?
