I would love Jameis. Entertaining football. Bryce, not entertaining football.

But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer. But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield. Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep. Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.

Legette hasn’t shown at this level yet he can break tackles like Shenault

Bryce sucks, but he has been throwing it downfield somewhat consistently over the last year. 12th in ADOT in Week 1, last year he was 5th/27th among QBs with at least 50% of their teams dropbacks (only Herbert, Love, Darnold, and Lamar Jackson were ahead). He was 2nd in Big Time Throw % too. Last week he had 4 20+ yard throws (0 completions) and 9 10-19 yards. Compare that to say, Jared Goff, who was in a similar spot last week as far as needing his team to rally and score - he only had 1 throw of 20+ yards and 6 10-19 yards. So Bryce is definitely a poor downfield thrower, but he has been a willing one, especially since returning from his benching.

Lol as if that isn't what is going to happen

I'm not saying the defense was great, but they held the Jaguars to 6 points in the second half. Yes they should have been better in the first half, but it isn't like the Panthers offense helped with their turnovers. If they got completely dunked on the entire game, then sure, it would be worth discussing more. But they stepped up in the second half. Can you say the same about the offense / Bryce Young?

Just as it was last year: benching Bryce Young is a DUMB move. Literally 0 upside to it. Yes, Bryce Young sucks. But we're stuck with it. Why bench him and risk a lucky win or two with the back-up QB momentum? Why risk Bryce getting reinserted into the line-up and playing "inspired" football, fooling us into giving him one more year? Stop making the wrong choice, Carolina. I said it last year and I will say it again: Bryce Young is a "earn you the No. 1 overall pick" level QB. You have to ride him out the entire season. Let him do what he's already done and that is secure the worst record in the league.

Because Bryce Young is a God-tier tank commander Lets just hope this time, the team doesn't bench him and instead lets him complete his destiny. He already did it for the Bears, why not us? 6-23 career record

He should.

Lol "slow start" Everything the Panthers do is slow

Dare I say Devin Funchess was better?

Yeah Bryce is cooked. QB has to be the 1st pick in 2026. It just has to be.

Ladies and Gentleman WE SUCK

LEGETTE IS SO BAD LMAO

Bryce bad

Bad throw, but I've seen far less called for DPI

This defense is still BAAAAAD

All I ask is please don't start the season with a run up the gut. Bryce was at his best when he was playing with confidence. Give him a reason to be confident to kick off the season.

Bryce Young is going to put in a special performance today. This man went into Atlanta last year and waxed the Falcons in a game that they needed to win. 5 TUDDIES! Have we forgotten that star-making performance? We've got the best QB on the field. The best RB on the field. Tet is going to be a monster. This OL, even without Ikem, might be the best OL on the field today. Our big boy Derrick Brown is back in the fold and he quite possibly has the best fellow DL talent around him in his pro career. Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are ready to hold it down at outside corner. Let's get this work I'm starting to think a 40-burger isn't out of the realm of possibilities

We are going to do nasty things to the Jaguars

Panthers W 27-24

Yes All Hail TheBigKat

I see the GLEAM in Bryce Young's eyes. This is gonna be a special year.

They did it for the 5th year option.
