Try both. Do what the Giants did. Sign two legit vets and then still keep QB on the draft board. They signed Jameis then they turned around and added Russ Wilson when the opportunity presented itself then they still drafted Dart in the 1st. When you need a QB you have to exhaust all options. Give yourself multiple chances.

That rough.

At least he got rich in the process.

I honestly don't think he's backup level. It won't surprise me if once we finally give up on him that he bounces around a couple of camps and is out of the league. He doesn't have an NFL QB skill set.

I've always liked Bryce as a person. He seems like a legitimately good dude. He's just not an NFL QB.

This is a good team with just a good backup level QB. Literally just give us an NFL roster caliber QB and this team is in the wildcard race at the end of the year.

The game plan was to try to avoid Bryce losing the game but we finally faced a team that completely sold out on D to takeaway the run and forced us to lean on Bryce and that led to what any reasonable football fan always knew it would lead to - an unwinnable game for the Panthers.

I've been surprised by it for a long time and I still keep giving them more credit than they deserve. LOL

I was called a bad fan when I said that winning games by overcoming Bryce's putridness was a bad thing. That's because it was in the grand scheme of things. You can't keep winning in this league with putrid QB play. Somehow duct taping together a respectable record allowed the Panthers to keep up this charade act of pretending Bryce was an NFL QB. Had he played like this while we were losing games but being relatively competitive I honestly think we would've made a move for an NFL roster caliber QB at the trade deadline but now that opportunity is past but somehow pulling out wins allowed them to keep pretending.

Even the most deluded of them have to be admitting the truth at this point. Surely.

Maybe it wasn't intended, but sure seemed like deflection.

I cleaned up all the political bullshit. Next person that posts political bullshit in this forum gets the death penalty. Try me.

Criticizing Horn today is plenty fair. But trying to use it as a way to deflect away from Bryce being putrid ass once again is sad.

Hell, I'm begging for the bare minimum. I honestly don't think Bryce meets that. Once we give up on him I honestly don't see him making it even as a long-term backup. He's just not an NFL roster caliber QB.

If 17 points by the opposition feels like an insurmountable task to overcome, well... Yeah, Horn has had a rough day but everyone has some rough days in the NFL and he's typically really good. Virtually all of Bryce's days are rough. That's the difference.

It just frustrated me because leading up to the draft I was pointing out all the flaws. Not just the lack of physical tools but why he wouldn't translate stylistically. It was all so painfully obvious. I've never seen the entire football world get so horribly duped by a prospect.

Yeah, the one thing the NFL is usually good at is not wasting premium draft picks on guys who lack the physical tools. They'll role the dice on raw prospects oozing talent but the guys who clearly lack the tools usually plummet. Bryce is the type of guy who usually goes in the mid to late rounds because it's obvious he didn't have the physical tools to translate his college success to the NFL.

On the field, I think Jamarcus was probably an even bigger bust but when you factor in the trade Bryce is honestly the biggest draft bust of all time.

Jake was a gunslinger.

Jake was a gunslinger.

As they should. The backup QB for 1-8 team is absolutely playing circles around the guy we mortgaged the franchise for. The fanbase is tired of this bullshit of pretending that Bryce is an NFL QB. Unfortunately, now we know that Dalton is completely washed at this point and we have no other option on the roster. There should be a dozen QB tryouts at BOA this coming week. We need to be kicking every tire that out there. We should've tried to make a move at the trade deadline but now that ship has sailed.

Yeah, in just not sure if Tepper was ready to swallow that bitter pill yet. Morgan and Canales should've sold him on the idea of upgrading the backup QB spot and then invited him to practice to see for himself how much more talent this guy shows them Bryce. I'd have to think that if that had happened Tepper would have to rubber-stamp a change at half today.

Anybody. Just anybody. It's criminal we didn't try to make a move for somebody's backup at the trade deadline. This is a good team with a competent QB. Just someone NFL caliber.

And the Colts on the fringe of FG range already after another big special teams return.

Well, nevermind. That was easy. Drake London absolutely COOKED Sauce Gardner. LOL
