You mean we wouldn’t have a first round pick this year? That doesn’t make sense

Play him as a CB and situationally as a WR especially in the red zone or on two min drives

No he had plenty of time to prove himself and one grat game doesn’t change that

Tastes like chicken

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper "has taken a more hands-off approach of late," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state," Fowler wrote. "We shall see if he holds to that." Tepper was approved as team owner ahead of the 2018 season. The 3-10 Panthers are on track to finish the campaign in the basement of the NFC South for the fourth time in seven seasons under his tenure.

Well good news, we don't have to pay him now and can have him on a rookie contract for 2 more years before thinking about an extension. We've been seeing him play increasingly better since Week 8, and he's right on schedule as far as I'm concerned. I would have liked this to be more linear progression, but what we're seeing now is an exponential growth line that I'm really excited about.

Insert “they’re meaningless games”

THIS.

I mean he was a dick, so you're not wrong haha

Bottom line - Bryce has shown he can be a playmaker and not just a game manager. His recent performances with game on the line show that. Bryce Young recent game-winning drive attempts: vs. Saints: 3:26 remaining in the 4th. 4 plays, 64 yards, go-ahead TD. vs. Chiefs: 3:21 remaining in 4th. 5 plays, 49 yards, game-tying TD and two-point conversion. vs. Bucs: 3:05 remaining in 4th. 9 plays, 60 yards, go-ahead TD. Then went 25 yards in 4 plays in OT to set up game-winning field goal before Chuba lost a fumble. vs. Eagles: 2:58 remaining in 4th. 13 plays, 45 yards, go-ahead TD dropped by Legette. You can't ask for much more than this.

I could care less if he's "elite", that's a term that has become overused. There are only few true elite QBs in history and only 2 or 3 any given year. I want my QB to be competitive, competent, and give us a fighting chance to win every week. I think Bryce has shown promise he can do that consistently, can be clutch when the pressure is on. Now let's build a whole team around him instead of chasing "elite". He may never "justify" what Tepper gave up to trade for him but that's sunk cost and completely irrelevant as we evaluate our roster needs going forward.

Best OL in football, just need the Center position solidified

I agree, he looked absolutely lost and overwhelmed in first two weeks. This is a completely different player now.

Thanks for caling that out. I think that's one of our main issues.

Love to see it, that's the thing he's not just completing throws in garbage time. That "would be" 98 yard TD drive would have been truly iconic if XL makes the catch.

The only true YAC guy we had was DJ Moore who got traded.

Agreed, their only hope is to find some gems in the draft

Fair take - cautious optimism is understandable.

Is it just me or did XL regress since early weeks? Ever since the Broncos game where the dude ripped the pass from his arms he seems to have lost some confidence. I hope he can figure it out soon.

Yes, but at least you can't point to your offensive stars for that. That defense is really really bad

He's not a finished product by any means, his mechanics still need to be more consistent but another offseason with Canales will help.

Evero's gameplan was masterful, we just don't have enough talent to be consistent

Agreed, but dare I say his confidence seems to have added a couple of inches to his stature, lol

You paid your top receiver $33 million a year.. your second best receiver $25 million... and your star QB another $50 million with a top 5 offensive line and you had a 31st ranked passing attack this year That is Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. It's a good thing they can lean on running game and Barkley but the Panthers and our #9 Grim Reaper have exposed yet another team. They'll be one and done in the playoffs. I could only imagine the reactions here if that was Bryce with those weapons lol

Despite our record, I wish fans will show up and not sell their tickets and make this a true home game.
