I prefer this to social media. If somebody is here then they are usually a pretty dedicated fan and even if they have a completely stupid take or opinion its not for a lack of current knowledge. Social media is saturated with a bunch of fair weather fans who don't even watch games or highlights, they just have uneducated opinions in their minds and they want to argue without knowing anything. Examples: People demanding to fire the GM a week after he had already been fired. People mad we traded Jonathan Mingo "while he was a rookie" One individual telling me the defense was down because Brian Burns was hurt this season. Bryce should be in contention for ROY this year (2024) The Panthers need to fire Matt Rhule (2024) and my favorite Why did the Panthers bench Bryce Young for Darnold, I thought he was with a different team. (Not realizing Andy Dalton is a completely different person)

Fair enough, bottom 10 instead of 5 in history now.

I would also watch James Bettcher, LBs coach in Cinci. Has worked with the Assistant HC Harold Goodwin a lot under Arians. He took over for Bowles at DC in Arizona when he took the NYJ job.

Most realistic 5 are: Robert Saleh, Ken Norton Jr, Aaron Curry, and Brendan Daley. They are all connected to either Brandt, Morgan, or Canales. Schwartz or Graham is possible if the Raiders/Browns clean house. Outside the box, Leslie Frazier or Lovie Smith could be an option as well. Also Rob Ryan (Not Rex).

I hate to ask this but I have to because you're like the 4th Bryce supporter to say something similar. Y'all do realize that wanting him to get better doesn't actually make him better, right?

Part of that is because the coaches were drawing up the barns running into each other.

Well damn, if thats the case we should have kept Kyle Allen and Teddy Bridgewater.

Yeah we could afford Wentz or Lock for not much at all. Kid needs real competition.

Yeah I was one of like 3 people who wanted Harbaugh. I would have been fine with Payton but I didn't want to give the Saints draft capitol. Nobody here wanted Payton because "they didn't like him because he was with the Saints" or whatever. Also almost none of the huddle wanted McCarthy or Quinn because they were "Retreads."

Damn right it is.

Food for thought- There is a QB that is going to play Sunday for the Chiefs that is 47-45 as a starter and has thrown 153 TDs to 63 INTs. Carson Wentz got a bad wrap a few years back. The guy has a cannon. He spent 2023 with McVay and Stafford in LA and has sat behind Mahomes and Reid this season. Supposedly, Canales had a lot to do with the turnarounds of Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. Give this dude a shot to start. If Bryce beats him, then great. If not, then great. I would almost say the same for Drew Lock.

I'm really hoping we offload him for a 2nd and just have a journeyman next year.

We're 6th or 7th worst. There are some bad ones. McCaskeys (CHI) Davis (LV) Adams (TEN) Mara (NYG) Johnson (NYJ) Khan (Jax)

Either way we are going to screw over the Bucs or the Falcons. If the Falcons win tonight and the Bucs beat the Saints. It will depend on us. Falcons beat us, they are in. If they lose, Tampa is in. In the end, we get to ruin somebody's day.

He had 203 yards. 63 came on the first drive which is scripted plays. Breakdown goes: 1st- 3/4 63 yards 2nd- 5/12 91 yards 3rd- 2/6 23 yards 4th- 5/6 26 yards

49

Thats what I'm hoping for. I hope everyone goes QB crazy in April and we get our pick of the litter on defense.

Going to take a new DC and some folding money.

Nobody will find one on purpose. There is always one weirdo that everyone thinks is a JAG and becomes average or so.

You're debating with people who have told me 2-3 times this weekend that if you "believe real hard" he will be good.

Fair enough

He won't look like a rookie against us, I promise. Commanders are ranked 4th against the pass.

Look man, if he's not happy with Aaron Rodgers, you can go ahead and forget about him being happy here. He's doing this to hopefully land somewhere like LA, GB, KC, etc.

You know- the fugging media is to blame too. All the reporters that follow the Panthers use to just squat and shittttt all over Darnold and Mayfield every single game. Bryce hardly gets anything except from Newton, who at this point has almost zero people taking him seriously anymore.

Oh what I would give for a 00s Steve Smith in this locker room.
