Is this fanbase not suited for a rookie QB?

[BrisbanePanther]

Heard this statement on the Unnecessary Bluntness YouTube channel.

I personally am starting to agree with this view. We're looking for a rookie to come in and play like a skilled vet or be a rookie like Stroud, who is clearly emerging as a one-of-a-kind, generational rookie QB.

Maybe we should move in a direction as a franchise--sign FA QBs or trade for vet QBs, know what we're getting, and move along with whatever comes with that. 

I honestly believe this fanbase would be all over someone like Tannehill or Cousins this off-season. Or just extend Dalton. Then trade Bryce to LA, Atlanta, or Minnesota and let him take be whatever he'll become there.

We’re suited just fine for a rookie QB, we’re just not suited for a garbage QB that’s somehow worse than everyone since and including Cam. We traded our present and future for someone who apparently can’t throw deep and who, despite being touted as an unparalleled analytic mind, makes some of the dumbest turnovers you’ll ever see.

Worst Panther QB since Jeff Lewis

Cam definitely set unrealistic expectations. Bryce has been underwhelming no matter how you slice it but playing at elite level out the gate like Stroud's doing is rare air.

[Day1PanthersFan]

Have you heard of a QB called Cameron Newton

Dude came in setting rookie passing and rushing records, going toe to toe with the likes of Rodgers, and singlehandedly changed the culture of this team 

We are ready for a rookie, a good one though, and Bryce has played like absolute garbage , without any hints of greatness 

[hepcat]

Not a bad one the team traded up a ton of resources to get 

[Beast_3000]

Don’t blame the fans, it’s the owner and GM failing to make sound decisions. Bryce will be fine when he gets some talent around him, but our GM Scott has completely depleted this team. Our best receiver would probably be the 3rd option on most teams. 

 

it’s not Bryce’s fault, but let’s be fair the team had tunnel vision for the QB that has performed the worse out of the big 4. 
 

CollectivelyTepper and Fitz have set this team back and it’s expected  for the fan base to be frustrated about the past 5 years.

Blame the fans because the most cerebral QB to come out of the draft since Luck is playing some of the worst football in the NFL. Fans have a right to be pissed about the product being put on the field. 

We're looking for a QB like Stroud? He was right there for the taking but this ownership and FO fuged it up. Bryce put on pounds for the weight in and then didn't participate at the combine next to the other QBs. He needs to be the best unicorn ever drafted to make the price worth it. 

Fans don't have unrealistic expectations. As it stands right now, this one of the worst trades in NFL history. We will see if it remains that way. But to blame the fans for this? 

Damn...

[ncfan]

No

this place would’ve burned down if we had Richardson because he would’ve gotten knocked out week 1 from the punishment.

this place would’ve lost it for the most part when the defense crushed Stroud as Ickey escorted edge rusher to Stroud

 

We want to win so bad.  And are now the worst team in football with the worst roster in football.  

[Waldo]

They picked the wrong QB at an embarrassing price, they hired the wrong staff and their rosterbuilding has the same vision that Ray Charles had but it's a fan problem in the end...

There are things in the new NFL that are dead from the old NFL. Fans just being blind simps with open wallets is one that I personally won't miss. Fantasy football, the modern draft experience and everything that goes on in the internet have helped to kill the old ways. Blaming the fans for any of this is focusing on the symptoms and none of the causes. Having it come from another source that helped kill the old NFL is peak irony.

Bryce always looked like a miss but the rest has made that fact so much worse. But the fans...

I thinks this is the "bargaining and anger" step of the grieving process.

Bryce looks like a bust, y'all.

[Daniel Mullaly]

Blaming the OL makes some sense, blaming the coaching staff makes some sense, blaming ownership makes some sense. Blaming the fans? Makes no sense. Dumb DUMB take.

I hope we are wrong because I agree with you, but it sure seems that way.
