I gladly complimented Bryce for the touchdown drive yesterday. When he plays well and especially when he continues to play well that complimenting will continue. If he doesn't then I will call it like I see it and it's the same for anyone else. Honestly between the two of us I would be thrilled for him to go on and become our franchise QB as I've said all along. But idk man you are so invested in this I kinda worry for your well being if he doesn’t. You have an unhealthy infatuation bud.

Also just for informational and clarification purposes the 9 highest backup QB salaries for 2025 are as follows: Marcus Mariota 8 million Jacoby Brisset 6.25 million Jarrett Stidham 6 million Tyrod Taylor 6 million Zach Wilson 6 million Davis Mills 5 million Joe Flacco 4.25 million Mac Jones 4.2 million Andy Dalton 4 million https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/player/_/year/2025/position/qb/sort/contract_average

Stopped reading after he said another ass whooping didn’t matter. Yeah it's preseason and these games don't count but getting our asses whooped has been the consistent story more often than not of the Carolina Panthers since at least 2018. That matters.

Man it's comical how many keystrokes you waste here talking about others arguing in bad faith and there are literally no lengths you won't go to in order to cape for Bryce Young. He has a mother and father okay? This is about what is best for the development of the young players. Having a younger QB or even a younger vet with some upside in the event of unforseen circumstances so we do not waste another crucial season of development of said young players should not be a foreign or controversial concept here.

Nowhere did I say it wasn't foolish. My biggest complaint is throwing punches at helmets which is by definition stupidity. As much as I can criticize Legette for his gaffe and unfortunate choice I feel like more criticism should be directed at the head coach here. This is his baby. This guy spent a great deal of time waxing poetic in the camp confidential series but what we saw last night was the very definition of classic Panthers football in the worst ways. That rests squarely on his shoulders. Now we need to see how he and his players respond. But I can tell you as a Panthers fan who has been through the ringer for over 2 decades. He can't keep doing this. There needs to be a new identity established this season even if we aren't necessarily winning we absolutely need to be competitive.

At the end of the day it was one drive. But word is Canales wants the starters to play 3 series in the next game.

Hey yo @CPcavedweller you got any thoughts on this since you seemed to be driving the Andy Dalton fan bus in this thread a month ago?

Y-KTw1ZfjApU8HcM.mp4 Thinking it over the following morning while I still feel disappointment with Legette I do appreciate him having some fire in his belly here. But he's got to use it wisely. And please no more punches with helmets on. We need those hands.

Bryce has as much to prove this upcoming season as anyone else in the league.

What a fitting end. Last second field goal which amounts to nothing more than a fart in the wind. Perfectly encapsulates 30 years of this franchise.

Healthy competition at the most consequential position on the field wasn't necessary they said...

So far what I think of Dave Canales is he's very charismatic and great at selling the part and speaking on the media side but the results on the field are all that matters and that is dogshit.

I can agree with you to a point. But we also felt like this after that one drive against the Bills last year in preseason. And ironically the rest of our depth looked more competent than this in the rest of that game. We have simply poo the bed in this one.

Pretty much worst case scenario from what I wanted to see in this game. Letting Shedeur look promising while our offensive depth absolutely flounders. In our stadium. Probably time to shut this off.

This is a bad look for Dave Canales. Coming off a season where you got absolutely whooped multiple times. First game at home and your QB room looks like....this. Dan Morgan got some explaining to do too.

Plummer should have had that my goodness this QB room is TURRIBLE.

It's not about saving the season. It's about not squandering what has always been a crucial developmental season while we continue to build. We have a young roster. You can't develop your young offensive players with these backup QB's in the event of an unforseen circumstance. We do not have the benefit of continuing to waste seasons. Anyone who thinks we do needs to revisit the last 29 years of this franchise.

I feel bad for the home crowd. And the bad thing is. The longer this goes on. The less anyone is going to feel very good about that one drive.

Sounds like Jerry Richardson's Panthers. Except with a significantly worse win percentage lol

Andy Dalton absolutely fleeced us for that 8 million dollar contract. Could get a UDFA for dirt cheap if this is all you're looking to see from your second string QB.

I mean the fact that they tried that again does not inspire much confidence in anyone on our staff.

What was confusing about the post? If you are legitimately excusing the effort the FO made to improve the QB room then you might as well put on some lipstick and go ahead and lay a wet one on David Tepper's ass.

To be clear I'm not even asking for playoffs I'm speaking strictly someone who is younger with any level of upside because this is definitely nothing more than a developmental year looking at how our offensive depth is performing currently.
