Carolina may not "be sold" on young (per athletic)

I think we end up closer to 10

We very well could end up splitting with the Bucs due to their injuries, beating the Cowboys and Arizona seems to really struggle when travelling all the way to Charlotte. Atlanta could end up resting all their starters the last week too

Even 2 more wins combined with all the bad teams this year puts us way back. Some of those bad teams do still play each other but unless we lose out (I doubt that happens) we’re going to be closer to 10

Regardless, I'll probably rather go defense first, then pick a second round QB, like Ewers, even if we have to trade a few spots to get the top second round qb.

If Young’s as bad as everybody says he is then yeah, it is plausible. 

We have some divisional games and also Dallas, who may have a worse QB situation.

We are also considerably higher in SOS so we lose most tie breakers.

Even if Bryce started stinking it up, we would likely just switch back to Dalton.

I agree on most of this but Arizona is a REALLY bad matchup for us. A bruising running game and very mobile QB. That is perfectly made to march all over our defense.

This is one of the tighest races for the bottom I have seen in a while.

Sign a veteran bridge QB (or re-sign Andy for this role).

 

Draft Cam Ward.

 

Let bridge QB start and Cam sit and learn for a bit.

 

Profit.

I agree on Ward. But at this point it is a nonstarter to consider keeping Dalton. He has been only marginally better than Bryce Young and those two stinkers against the Bears and Commanders are why we were one of the only teams to seek out his services. Need to look elsewhere.
