Justin Fields traded for bag of chips, why couldn’t we get Gerber competition?

Damn, you guys want to go through the Darnold situation again while we already have a young guy under contract?

As soon as we trade for him we'd have to choose to pick his 5th year option up. Then if (when) he sucks, you owe him all that money like Darnold, or you don't sign him and you rent him as a backup for a year and let him walk which would be pointless.

It's comical how poorly run we've been compared to even the Bears.

Now they can draft yet another QB and load up with even more top end talent. Question is can they draft worth a damn. We'll see.

I think people just aren’t sold on Bryce and would like  another young QB on the roster.

 

if they both suck we end up with a top pick and draft another QB and let Fields walk

So why waste another pick when you can just roll with Bryce and make that decision in 2025 and use the capital saved to address other needs?

It would just be more poor asset management throwing more draft picks at QBs when the team as a whole was a dumpster fire last season.

Give Bryce another shot and see what we actually have.

Because people don’t value 6th round picks.

People don’t like watching their team lose without making changes.

last season there was a fair chorus that if Bryce is the problem, then we can’t evaluate our other talent properly.

TLDR; what does it hurt taking a flyer on a qb with a 6th round pick?

Caleb Williams with that skill group is impressive. But they’re the bears so I’ll assume they’ll mess it up until they don’t

Why weren’t all the teams that haven’t got a franchise guy banging down the Bears door for that price? Because he’s not that good 

I don’t think he’s being brought in to eh a franchise guy or a starter. That’s likely going to be Russ. Particularly because they traded for him first.

 

that said, I don’t think the panthers fans should thumb their noses at a coach who has never had a losing season

I told people he would be cheap. We didn't bring him in because they know he would beat Bryce for the starting job.

Nyah. It's Bryce ride or die our way to 1st in 2025. Can't afford for him to have any excuses. 

Personally I think you always try to improve regardless of where they're drafted.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
