Its interesting to see just how much Bryce is being portrayed by the media as the victim. 

Because it's easy.  It allows the 24/7 content machine that always has to have something to say that is modern day sports media, a chance to have a loud opinion that everyone can rally behind (panthers being a joke) without them having to actually watch any tape or anything.  It's low hanging fruit.

LOL

But seriously, I bet he was asked to put on weight, given specific footwork issues to work on, stuff like that. Then showed up same as last year.

If Bryce wanted to improve, you would be hearing him say things like ``I need to work on myself``, ``I did such and such to help myself get better in the offseason`` or when things dont go well ``Its on me, i need to get better``. Instead you hear this bitchass mentality of he was shocked or angry or its not in his hands and you dont hear him say how he is going to get the starting job back. He is a beta male.

Dude has been seriously coddled and now all the sports media making excuses for him because they can't accept being wildly wrong themselves just adds to it.

I honestly dont care whos decision it was. 

I care that, regardless of how small, there at least is a glimmer of hope that we see any semblance of functioning offense going forward. Before we had zero hope and knew exactly what was going to happen.

We all are over him in a big way. But if Tepper made the decision there is no glimmer of hope because everyone in NFL circles will know it.

I think the Panthers pray that doesn't happen.  If it does i honestly think they call up Plummer or bring someone else in, but they know the media storm that will cause so they hope Dalton stays healthy so they can keep saying Young is #2.

Plummer honestly isn’t better. Unless the sign another vet here soon or trade Bryce, I can definitely see him playing again.

I honestly believe Plummer would do more than Bryce has

Plummer has at least shown the willingness to throw the ball past 10 yards

Benching Young is the right call whoever pushed for it. It should have already happened last year. They need to get someone better than Plumber to bring in.

The optics stink but they were going to get kicked for something as the perineal garbage fire anyways. Young has been the worst part of the team this year and it's not close. Young working harder to get a trade then he did to improve his game says it all.

I don't think they would be calling Plummer up because they think he's better.   I think they would be calling him up because Bryce’s time here is over.

In the preseason where Bryce did too. Plummer has terrible vision as well as a slow release. That’s a bad combo…

Bryce took a sack in the preseason because he refused to throw the ball downfield 

I mentioned it when it happened. As soon as I saw that I knew nothing had changed

To me if you are going that route, you might as well give the one you invested in another shot because Plummer isn’t doing crap.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
