This is true. But what about the vets the rookies the guys looking to secure a spot and just fighting to sustain an NFL career? Everyone is risking something. It's just not a good look for the locker room considering it's well known we aren't exactly brimming with leadership.

Especially if you were also a massive Teddy Bridgewater defender.

Some of you really need to stop trying so hard to gatekeep the fanbase.

Wow is all I can say. Ultimately I don't think it will change much as far as if #9 succeeds in the upcoming regular season. But the optics are wild. I do not think I've seen a first overall pick coddled like this before. We'll see how it shakes out.

Definitely need a link to Person or someone in our local orbit verifying this. It sounds too ridiculous.

I try to avoid reading too much into camp performances as an end all be all. But this franchise has been one shitshow to next with the oline for what feels like forever now. Unless Dan Morgan wants to follow in the footsteps of his former best friend the previous outgoing general manager he better leave no stone unturned in churning the OL depth. He better be paying attention.

I prefer Excess Baggage.

If it's up to me I'm drafting a developmental QB no matter what next season. When and where that QB is drafted depends on how the season plays out.

Coleman has one of the best QB's in the league the last several years throwing him the ball on an a team with an established and experienced playoff staff. The Panthers are coming off their worst season in decades. The talk surrounding Legette is getting silly. At least let him showcase something in preseason and go from there.

Everyone should be able to agree that we need to see a consistent deep ball connection throughout the season. No excuses. Whether or not that will happen is anyone's guess. No sense going at each other about this until we see it one way or another. It's been discussed relentlessly. Within 2 months we will know. As an aside. I will say this current predicament we find ourselves in with Dalton being out and the third QB looking abysmal at best is why I wanted to put more of an emphasis on having another young QB worth his salt on the roster. Instead of someone who is an afterthought like Plummer. We'll see how it works out as the season progresses.

What I see and hear from Canales gives me confidence he has a really good shot at being one of the better young coaches in the league. Everything hinges on how good he is on gamedays in preparation and adjustments. Player development definitely seems to be night and day overall. I'm very happy to see that 89 has been working with Mingo. Nothing about the situation from under center has changed until we see some plays in preseason at the very least. At some point fans on all angles of the conversation have to realize they are pouring gasoline on the matter no different than any others regardless of their position. We will not have a true answer until at least the end of September. Honestly the league did us a favor with the season opener being on the road against the Saints. We have the chance to make a statement right out of the gate. Falling flat is not acceptable. The general team vibe is so significantly improved it cannot be understated. I can't remember the last time I've seen so many former Panthers out in support of the team. Things are hopefully trending up. When I see it in a real game I'll begin believing again.

If they did this same interview format with many different players from different position groups across the league I can pretty much guarantee there would be many more getting clowned for their answers. Honestly people doing this to our own players for social media likes and clout is a prime example of why our team and media market are looked at as a complete joke.

People comparing this kid to busts of yesteryear are incredibly foolish. He's hard on himself and eagerly admits his shortcomings. He has the right mentality in spades. Sometimes things don't click for guys at this level but more often than not that's due to a lack of attention to details and fundamentals. I do not see that from Legette.

46 days later. All this seems so familiar...

Have I told you or AceBoogie or anyone to "stfu" for voicing an opinion? Honest question. I guess you simply conveniently missed that post btw. Enough with this blaming others for every Bryce thread mess. I've made zero Bryce threads. I left yesterday and come back this morning and there are two different Bryce threads at the top of the first page going strong with replies. This isn't going anywhere with or without me. People here are grown and choose to create these threads read these threads and engage. If you don't want to deal with any of this then log out or stop refreshing threads. Maybe I'll take a hiatus until the season opener on Sept 8th. What do you think the over/under will be on the number of new Bryce Young threads and unrelated threads derailed into Bryce Young threads will be in my absence? Let's give it a go.

New year? Fresh perspective? You gave up on him. You threw in the towel. Yet now you want to be the first and official word on how to root for him and the Panthers? There's a word for this. Clownery.

I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....

Many of those posters are still around. The ones who compared him to hall of famers in this and other sports. They're just biding their time waiting to see if Bryce will suddenly turn into a great QB. I think the way you frame it indicates the problem. It's either on one side people who as you put it "don't like him" (in most instances impossible to truly know on an anonymous chat board) or people who need to see him with stacked talent to form a conclusion after hyping up as a one man show a year ago. You say there are discussions to be had but if it involves anything remotely on the side of negative instead of the "everything is awesome" end of the spectrum it is met with talk of what some are now describing as a pathological need to be critical of him. As if the rest of the sports world doesn't have these same blunt discussions whenever he is mentioned. If there were truly other more notable discussions to be had right now that haven't also been discussed endlessly we would be having them. We just had yet another uniform thread. Instead the top 2 threads dominating the front page for the last 24 hours since the first blueprint episodes dropped have revolved around the starting QB. That's just the modern NFL. Some people want to shoot the messenger over that because they don't like the banter that follows

I think the people who contort themselves into a pretzel to act like the whole world is against Bryce just can't reconcile with the fact that none of this is any different than the discussions Panthers fans have had over any of the other failed QB's the last 5 years. Of course the *on field* difference is we didn't bottom out completely with any of those QB's. Appreciate your kind words.

The issue is he wasn't just bad. He was historically bad. So yes if the Panthers put up a new blueprint video and conclude the first episode with footage of the same QB hopping in the air to heave a basic pass in OTA's in shorts after doing so throughout the trainwreck that was the 2023 season after hiring a coach specifically to "fix" him yes it's going to derail that thread.

Sounds like liquor logic to me. Interesting_Professional_Alcoholic-Reddit-qtqp9v5xauw81-fallback+dash-audio_0_131639.mp4

He was very mistakenly trying to appease Russell Wilson. They both got what they deserved. The only one in that I felt remotely bad for was Marshawn Lynch. Without him they don't make either title run. He was the engine of that team.

It's amusing that people take the time to login here and wonder aloud why anyone is discussing the starting QB we traded the farm to acquire in a thread about a Panthers behind the scenes series called Panthers "blueprint". There is no blueprint without a franchise QB. Yes he is and will remain a focal point in any and all discussions.
