Yes we are all rejoicing not having to watch the midget play, and yes he deserves the Eric Cartman treatment:

But let's snap back to reality here. We were outscored by 60 (SIXTY) points in weeks 1 and 2. Average 30 point loss. Maybe Dalton helps us shave off 20 of those points, I'd consider that a huge success. Still an average 10 point loss. This team still sucks. Don't try to kill reality:

 

I don't think they are doing this expecting to turn the team around, I do think they will win a few games now and will play more competitive.   At the very least the football will hopefully be a little more fun to watch.  They made this move because Bryce has been so bad that he makes it impossible to evaluate the rest of the players to see what they've got.

Last year, the Panthers looked like an NFL team twice, for 1.5 games. One of those games was when Dalton played, the other was the second half against Green Bay. 
 

Under Wilks, the Panthers were also able to gain a sense of normalcy for a team that looked like it sucked. 
 

Posts like this remind me that people here do not understand football. Offense, defense, and special teams are not played in a vacuum. The success and failure, of each unit is dependent upon that of the other units. As it relates to defense, you cannot expect a group to continuously make stops, hold the other team to field goals, and force turnovers when your offense gains a single first down in the first half. Not 3rd down conversion, a first down. 
 

you are going to be surprised at how much more cohesive the entire team looks with an offense run by a veteran, under Canales who has proven wholly capable of what he’s being tasked with. 
 

My best guess is that Dalton throws for between 245 and 300 yards, one or two touchdowns, and Johnson has his first 100 yard game as a Panther. Chubba and Miles will combine for over 100 yards rushing, and everyone stops talking about Bryce. We invested a ton of money in the offensive line, and have sufficient weapons for a competent quarterback to win games. 
 

So long as Tepper stays out of it, I think Bryce’s last start was Sunday. He is gone, and I don’t think any other team will start him, or even make him a back-up. What he has isn’t fixable, and it isn’t the Panthers fault.

Dude, I'm just happy we might see a 20 yard pass.

Yeah, need to keep in mind Andy Dalton isn’t a good QB at this point in his career.  Just better than Bryce.

also….

 

Not developing him? Young does not have an NFL arm -- neither in strength nor accuracy. HOW can you develop a player like that?

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Dalton looked damn near elite last year vs Seattle when compared to Bryce. We could win 6 games if he stays out there

Right. Even Canales was like “this guy is beyond help” lol

Yeah, we're still in all likelihood gonna suck hard. I just want to see something different. Watching an NFL QB who completely lacks the ability to throw the football effectively beyond the LOS is just absolutely deflating.

I am fine with this, as I’d still like to get a QB this draft. All I ever asked for this season was some competent play. I just want to be entertained, even if it’s for a quarter or half.

When you constantly go 3 and out the D never gets a rest. Thats why they keep scoring on us.

 

I miss the old days when we had several good 6-8 minute drive. I remember keeping a drive alive almost the entire quarter the other teams offense only got the ball once. 

[JawnyBlaze]

I mean, no one is expecting we’ll become unbeatable but defense doesn’t work in a vacuum either. They’ll be better just by not having to run back onto the field every 30 seconds because Bryce can’t sustain a drive.

Young just needs to keeping playing Madden on his PS5 this coming off-season just like this past last summer. Young will come around.

Plus he can't help it that his X button is constantly stuck. No one can win like that.

Nah man the d just sucks.  We have players starting that wouldn’t make 31 other rosters.

2 of 22 on 3rd down is absolutely pathetic. The problem has been benched, I think we’ll see a big difference.

No argument that our defense sucks. 

Just getting the offense to stay on the field for awhile should improve our defense to some degree.
