First off. 99% of the people in this fanbase want to have a good team to root for and be happy doing so. One thing that irks me and this is not directed at OP necessarily but just an observation in general. People who point out the negativity and ignore the elephant in the room that is the win percentage of this franchise. Worst in pro sports. The fans go as the team goes. Such is life.

Now on to the subject at hand.

Most people myself included would accept incremental improvement while we develop what will become our core. Just give us a break from the embarrassing top to bottom blowout losses.

One thing that cannot be understated is no matter how Bryce Young plays the rest of the season. If there's one thing that could make me just tune out from this team altogether it's another year of making little to no effort at bringing in competition at QB. No. More. Coddling. We need a second and maybe even a third plan. Look at the Falcons they paid Cousins and still drafted a first round QB. People here clowned them but at least they had a real plan and didn't just kiss Kirk's ass.

Bryce playing just good enough to give the team enough hope to roll with him again next year is the worst possible scenario.

I disagree, Worst case is him completely sucking.

If he is good enough to be good enough for next season and we end up with either the top pick or second pick we can ransom it to a team who wants a QB and use the draft capital to rebuild the team.

We have a good OL. We have a good RB and another highly drafted one. We have promising young WRs. We've setup the next guy by trying to build around Bryce.

I actually agree, and think it would be a great environment for Sanders or Ward to grow in. Just making the point the others hate the idea of drafting a QB this year.

It's always going to be scary. A lot of them are going to bust. That's just reality. But we're actually a decent landing spot for a young QB now. If we draft one and he fails then it was a an issue of talent evaluation and/or talent development not a roster readiness standpoint.

This is funny. In 2023 post draft if you had said what if he doesn’t do all that you are getting jumped by the stans.

I’d rather wait and see this actually happen before I consider planning around him being part of the team after this year.

Bryce plays better every game and finishes with decent stats and a few wins? Doesn't have to set records, just keep improving. 

DJ Wonnum is back to being healthy at DE and helps generates pressure and a few sacks with Clowney?

Adam comes back as the slot receiver and between him Coker and X, they start getting around 300+ yards as a group per game?

What if JT Sanders is the real deal and is developing into a top 10 TE?

What if MLB Wallace is a more than solid player in the mold of a Dan Morgan?

What happens if Brooks is a great 1-2 punch with Chuba and they average well over 100 yards per game?

What happens in Horns stays healthy and we have a true shut down corner?

What is the O-line continues it's dominance?

4 wins or 6 wins, maybe even 7, doesn't matter. The team shows improvement and plays like a team and it was injuries and a new mentality needed by the team and HC to turn this around. Would you be supportive? Still negative (same old Panthers)? 

Looks like to me we had a turn around year to be positive about and few more add ons (draft & FA) and this team could at least compete for the playoffs in 2026. Health is #1 and having a system in place for a 2nd year would be huge. No matter how the year finishes, those points are what I'm rooting for. 

 

It's more than I could have hoped for. And I will cheer and admit my errors of judgement along the way.

I am skeptical about Bryce being a guy who can put a team on his back- maybe a team of pee wee players. That said- if he does however shore up the holes in his game and develops and improves along with the offense enough to win some games and make us competitive i’d love it. The goal of any organization- and the desire of its fan base- is to win.

As for BY’s future- I don’t think his job should be safe if we notch a couple more wins. We need another option- Challenge the roster as they say and our 1 pick QB should not be immune to that.

That's why I never saw an issue with them taking a QB. Sitting him and letting him develop like Love behind Rodgers. It's good for these guys to get some time to sit and learn.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
