I’m not so sure these two OL moves are a chance to help Bryce. I think they signify that Dan and Dave don’t think Bryce is the answer. 

The amount of money paid to Hunt and Lewis leads me to believe the Panthers brass thinks they will have a QB on a four year rookie contract through 2028 (2024 for Bryce: 2025-2028 for the 2025 first round draft pick). These moves allow the line to gel for a year and set the next guy up better than Bryce was set up last year.

Meh idk about that. We had one of the weakest interiors in the league last year. They are trying get Bryce a similar pocket to what Brees had in NO with a really strong interior.

This is going to help us a lot because now we can really run the ball with Chubba. Getting Foreman back wouldn’t be a horrible move either. Hopefully we can grab receiving back in the draft.

I get that. If Bryce works with this group, that will be great for the Panthers. I just wonder if the big money being spent on IOL could be a signal that the QB may be on a rookie scale longer than Bryce would.

Bryce still has 4 years with the option if he hits

You know, I was just looking at pff last night and Saud, if these guys are serious about a zone scheme and defending Bryce, this is the guy. They're doing what they said they would do. 

 

Would not be shocked if we swap that day 2 pick for tee Higgins. Not sure I agree, but we get a "1" in that case.

Yeah. Forgot about the option. Either way, the Panthers could have a QB on a rookie pay scale for close to the entirety of Hunt’s contract and the entirety of Lewis’s.

I fully expect us to now go C at 33 and WR at 39….its like we’re actually trying to let our young quarterback succeed…crazy concept for most…

Still holding out hope for a FA C. 

I think to an extent, a rookie C plays against the stability they are trying to create up front for Bryce.

Get a WR that can contribute in 2024.  A C is going to be a project

Well, that works too! Bring on Ladd and VP. Can he be had for the 3rd?

I think he could go as high as 2nd if it’s later but won’t last past the 4th. It all depends on where the centers ahead of him land too tho.

What a surprise to wake up to.  Two guards, $150 million in funny money.  The huddle going bup, bup, bup.

Somethings never change!

I'm glad they are investing in the OL.  We'll need that to run the ball and for Bryce.  I'm not ready right now to give up on Bryce without seeing him play through this coming season, but IF we decide to move off of Bryce in a year or two, these guys will still be here to keep a Qb clean.

Lewis and Hunt will sumo wrestle for the right to wear #68.

Would be an interesting shoving match, yeah they overpaid but these two are both top five pass blocking OGs in the NFL, we don't have to like it but they are doubling down on Bryce Young and using the new orleans blueprint, draft a few WRs and he won't have an excuse not to perform this year..... 

 

Because he's going to need too the defense is going to be Swiss cheese.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
