If they don't pick up the option Bryce will essentially be on a "prove it" deal next season. I like that.

Dare I say "the best DT to ever wear a Panthers Jersey" ? That's high praise because we've had some great ones.

Does anyone seriously think Bryce will miss football? It's a means to an end for him but he clearly has no passion for it. How this kid with no special skills has made it to this point is almost Manchurian.

She would be our best college scout on day one.

I'm not sure. I remember Clausen being worse than Young but when I look at Clausens highlight reel on Youtube he's clearly making throws downfield off of his back foot that Young simply can't - unless he's running forward to launch it. But yeah Clausen didn't belong on the field whereas Young will occasionally climb the pocket and deliver a strike.

I still have my doubts on the Green Bay touchdown. You can clearly see his momentum stopped well short of the ball breaking the goal line and actually goes backwards; then somehow he's able to advance the ball with both hands up in the air and at least two players on top of his lower back. Unless he's levitating, that leverage had to come from somewhere between his upper chest and his feet. I would say a knee (or two) is a good candidate.

While I was aware that Horn does not shadow WR1 I learned something interesting in the game from one of the announcers ... Horn ALWAYS plays the short side of the field. As in, he will switch sides when the ball moves from one hash tag to the other. It seems intuitive that short side of field equals easier route coverage (correct me if I'm wrong) and expanding further I wonder if Mike Jackson was put into that role would his stats improve? If Horn is such a shut down corner, why isn't he just following the biggest WR threat around the field? Is there something inherently harder about covering the short side of the field? Why make life easier for your best CB?

Sorry, I just don't accept that as true. Putting your best foot forward is way different than trying to cheat.

I think he is saying that Bryce materially misrepresented himself during the draft process so, in fact, he is at least partly to blame for be over drafted. IOW. Bryce gamed the system like a con man and should be held accountable for it.

Chubba got paid. Rico is going to get paid. Don't pay a running back.

Hard to say. Hot take : We won today because of Bryce - but not in the way that sounds. Bryce forced us to lean heavily on Rico and the Defense. A Better QB probably changes our game plan and makes us less competitive against a very good GB team playing at home.

You are not wrong. But you are also under-valuing a Win. Every game we have won in the last three years has been despite Bryce, and he has to go. But losing only teaches the team how to lose.

Yes. It's the oldest adage in Football. Repeat after me: "Winning solves everything"

The Long snapper had more to do with this win than Bryce

I agree. I think the huddle is too hard on Evero. His entire defensive plan is to get the other team into the red zone so he can hold them to a field goal. I think we are a safety and a off ball linebacker away from a truly elite defense and hopefully they open the purse for him in the next FA and Draft.
