Overall, I think Bryce played fine. A mix of good plays and bad plays. The biggest difference is that I think he played with a lot more confidence and actually tried to trust his receivers to make a play. He took shots and trusted his receivers to go and get it, ex. Sanders Hail Mary, drop by Moore, Legette Int. I think Dalton showed him that you can still make a play and receivers aren't going to be college open. Yes we played against a bad Saints defense but our team was also super banged up too. I honestly expect Bryce to struggle against the Giants defense. Their team is #1 in the league in sacks at 35 total. I don't think our O-line is going to hold up against their pass rushers and Bryce will struggle with pressure.

So it can get worse! We've been so bad for so long, losing to the Panthers is the worst thing that can happen to any team lol!

For everyone saying we should trade Bryce, what do you guys expect he will be traded for? Everyone in here was upset that Johnson was traded for a fifth. Teams aren’t giving a third or 4th rounder for Bryce.

Poor game management by canales!

Bryce up again?

Damn it! Bryce is playing scared!!!

Time to Bryce up son!!

Honest analysis of this game. Bryce didn’t lose the game, he also didn’t really help win it. Overall the defense is the biggest problem now, we won’t win any games unless we score 30+ points, which we know we aren’t doing.

Damn, that’s a great play by the CB.

Canales is one playing to lose!

Wtf play calling!!!

Bad play calling by Canales! Why not run with chubba!!!

Yeah I think Dan Morgan has done a good job of finding contributors. Wallace is playing well, Legette is our future #1, Coker is contributing. Brooks remains TBD, this kid the most we’ve gotten out of a single draft compared to previous drafts!

Poor play calling by Canales

This defense is so soft!

Time to see if Ward can carry this team! If you're a winner, time to prove it!

First time watching him play, he plays with a lot of happy feet. Not a rhythm thrower or traditional drop back passer. He's got the talent but will need work.

Duke is giving Miami a tough fight! This will be a good challenge for Ward.

I think Ward has all the potential and is in the conversation to be #1 QB. He's got the physical tools, he has faced adversity from no name college to Miami, he's put up the stats, has won games coming playing from behind. I think he just needs to play well in the playoffs and big time games. He is very similar to Cam Newton in regards to his college career. If Miami wins the championship, I think you have to draft him #1 overall.

Hindsight is 20/20, but when you look at that class, Stroud had the best resume. He fit the physical mold and had the pedigree and stats to be a franchise QB. Bryce had the stats and big time games, but he lacked the size. Richardson and Levis were huge projections and you just hoped that they develop. Our FO needs to examine how they evaluate QBs in the future. There needs to be specific criteria: won in college, played in big games, have the physical traits, have the work ethic.

Davante Adamas is a ALL PRO, likely future HOF and he got traded for a 3rd round pick. Johnson is not even top 15 WR in the league, temper your expectations.

At this point, we just need blue chip talent on the team regardless of position. I would go with Hunter and play him at CB, he can be used sparingly at WR on special packages too. I believe Devin Hester was originally a CB but played some WR too.

Bryce has received his share of criticism for his poor play. But have you guys seen Anthony Richardson quit on his team half way through a game? The guy literally decided not to go back in to the game because he "was tired." What a poor look on your reputation and leadership. The dude quit on his team.

If we are talking about CMC, i think you have to consider his total scrimmage yards because his receiving skills/yds are a huge part of game. CMC is way more than just a runner.

I think the only real QB option is Cam Ward IF he continues to ball out. The other QBs are hit or miss. I think Sanders has great potential but he and is father are a circus. If they want to come to the Panthers you would have to do due diligence. Wr from Arizona is good, Will Johnson from Michigan is good, DL Mason Graham is good. At this point, we just need talent.
