That's also from Diana Russini who has her birds and is typically very careful with her weekly "what I'm hearing" stuff.

What's the scenarios:

Dalton plays well and they win some, Bryce remains a back up the year. 

Dalton plays well and gets hurts (hope nothing serious), Bryce jumps back in and we see what happens. He plays well, we're back on track. He doesn't, he probably gets traded in the off-season. 

Dalton struggles, They give Bryce a try again. Again - He plays well, we're back on track. He doesn't, he probably gets traded in the off-season. 

In a team concept, having Bryce play well and building around him with talent is the most economical way to improve (building around a QB on a rookie contract). Or Canales proves he can get any vet QB to play well and they get a decent vet and build a solid team around that. 

I feel for Bryce as he probably has PTSD from last year and all the negative that was around him. I believe this was a Canales move and he deserves credit for thinking team over an individual or an investment. He's very positive but don't mistake kindness for weakness.

Bryce had every opportunity to recover short of getting long term psychiatric care, which he might need. But the Panthers did everything they could to help him. Regression is on him.

I just don't think he was ready for anything less than the most ideal of situations, and even with that he likely would have struggled.
