It should not be about his accomplishments alone such as winning the division or making the playoffs because we just did that and we needed help from the Failcons of all teams while getting swept by the Saints and a rookie 2nd round QB. If he can navigate a statistical top 12 QB season in key statistical metrics and we often win because of his contributions and not in spite of them then it should be under heavy consideration and negotiation. Even then though the situation has to be assessed logically knowing that tying up top 10-12 QB salary for a team that already has had the highest paid OL in the league two years in a row is not a sustainable long term approach whatsoever and going forward it will only be more crucial as his career progresses that he is able to elevate the sum of the moving parts around him rather than being wholly dependent on them the majority of the time.

Welp the Pistons are back on the couch with us. Blown out in game 7.

His representatives would be pushing for at least Daniel Jones money as a starting point in negotiations. Which if you are someone operating with functional brain cells would be a HARD PASS.

Malik Willis is making $22 million a year which is good for 16th in the league. No way in hell should we pay Bryce Young top 10 QB money unless he is actually walking on water.

I generally felt even our decision makers weren't foolish enough to actually do this. That would end up being an all time blunder that would follow everyone in the front office for the rest of their careers. However we stil can't put it past them to jump the gun and begin negotiations late in the year if he has a couple of really good games while looking serviceable at best in others while the rest of the roster carries him. The concern remains that in their eyes "deserving" a contract extension means just not looking outright terrible.

Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

There was a time when this place had bigots roaming. They were easy to spot in the Cam years. The overwhelming majority are long gone. But this logic that if you expect BY to play like a #1 pick and elevate the team you are racist is comical beyond words. Especially when you consider these same posters will throw any other player or coach under the bus in an instant to suit their narrative. Also. Under such logic. Every person critical of Evero is a racist. Which coincidentally would include pretty much every Bryce Young defender.

And that is the definition of what it is to be a #1 pick. Overcoming adversity and performing at a high level in doing so. Only in the Panthers fanbase has that definition shifted to playing at a high level only when the moving parts around them are elite and the conditions are 100% ideal. Loser mentality.

Idk if this has been posted but seems fairly relevant given the discussion of how tough our schedule is.

He's had 2 career games in a dome against the Falcons. Is there a specific reason you would rather not discuss the other 44?

Salt in the wound is this was a reactionary signing to missing out on Milton Williams. Morgan is not infallible unfortunately.

I've been told views like this only exist here on the CarolinaHuddle.

It's definitely noticeable the change in outlook on the Panthers now versus early in the year following the playoff game when hopium was high. Clearly more people have actually dug into the numbers and tape of our passing offense and came away with the obvious glaring conclusion. We will need to replicate the dominance of our run game last season or we are DOA.

The Bears? Where QB's and WR's go to die?

Well we've dogged on Joe Person for years and he's been pretty much the only constant around here. Just saying keep expectations low.
