Serious question: Jameis Winston or Bryce Young straight-up?

Jameis has more experience. But while Jameis has always had dicey decision making at best he's always had that big play home run potential at any given moment. Fair or not we're still waiting to see that from Bryce. And that's what separates the two of them as first overall picks.

No offense or disrespect to anyone else but as a Panthers fan who has seen a lot I don't consider that a sample size compared to the whole body of work but that's just my opinion. We're talking 25 total games. To me a true sample size will be the last 4 games paired with the remaining games on the schedule. If Bryce can sustain consistency throughout that whole stretch then we have something to build on. But  I refuse to deal in these hopes revolving around 4 games or less. Seen it with Kyle Allen. Seen it with Teddy Bridgewater. And realistically we can name any number of QB's who have strung together a handful of impressive games but ultimately faded back to the norm. We will have to wait and see which category Bryce lands.

I understand the hesitancy. The one reason I'm hopeful is Bryce's biggest improvements have been on deep routes that are very hard to defend and demonstrate a high level of play. A lot of Teddy and Allen's 'high level' play was right at the LoS. But it's only been a few games like you say.

We shall see. The good thing is we have a number of games left to evaluate him.

Remember when Jameis was gonna get lasik eye surgery and stop throwing interceptions?  Good times.

Did he actually say that? lol.

Sounds like something John Madden would bring up during a game.

”Now here’s a guy that when he gets laser eye surgery, he can see better!”

Although I think you're not entirely wrong, I'll say that Bryce has seemed very, very good with comebacks the last few weeks. And nothing ruins a comeback like a turnover - which Winston just loves.

He's had like 8 TDs and 8 INTs in the last four games, lol. And 4 of those TDs (and 3 INTs) came in just 1. 

I just don't think he's a wise player to have as more than a backup, while the jury is now out on Bryce (he got a retrial after a guilty verdict was overturned in appeal, it seems)

Bryce has almost entirely a bad history, so he is just going to have to prove himself as a middle tier or higher NFL starter as his career advances. It is great the way he is trending but the truth is that we still don't know if this is his Jameis Winston streak or not.

Winston, he is a known quantity. 30 years ago he would be a king, like Favre was. In the modern era, not so much. 

I would have zero issue with Winston as a backup or veteran guy for the right price. You just have to understand the limitations.

I love Winston as a backup on a bad team. He's fun to watch, win or lose.

I don't want him on a good team, though. The turnovers just are not worth it.

It was a thing on Reddit one offseason.  What if he only throws picks because he can’t see?  Oh well never mind he’s just bad.

The Panthers are a bad team that needs an experienced, talented backup QB to challenge Bryce Young. And potentially start over him.

Our fanbase also needs some fun for once.

Jameis Winston does more for Carolina’s future than Andy Dalton.

I don't think Jameis Winston fits an offensive scheme built to Bryce the way Dalton does. Winston is a gunslinger in every sense. He's better as a backup for someone like Josh Allen imo (but then the turnovers....)

    • I think you meant to say - If XL stays on his feet and just catches the ball with his hands and walk into the endzone to take the lead, and the defense doesn't give up a FG with 45 seconds remaining in the game. Agree. I don't get why folk are hating on Bryce right now. I was down on him after the first 2 games. But he's playing really good football right now. Really good. 
    • maybe.  Texas did have a bad day....but were lucky to have a bad vs another team also having a bad day.  A&M didn't muster a single offensive point that game.  Not even a FG.   To me, I don't think a single team in this playoff can have a bad day vs an opponent having a good day.  And the CFP has generally had teams that could navigate those days.    maybe I will end up liking the 12 team format.  I think the format clearly works against the better teams though.  Let's say it runs chalk to the final 4.  Odds are you still end up w/ someone getting beat up by the time they get to the final 4.... and that team might of been FSU'd had it been known. 
    • A you’re a real life hater I have a couple buddies like you but least we can be real about it when we talk to each other.  We’ve been looking good because teams are overlooking us man I’ve seen silly sht before then there’s your azz, Philly playing for number two seed overall maybe number one if Detroits falters anywhere in the next five games while Minn is tied with Philly for 2nd seed. With all that at stake they literally overlooked us Vic Fangio known as a top defensive coordinator didn’t have his guys ready. KC coming off a loss didn’t take us seriously bc they just lost and had a post buffalo hangover the best team in the last 3 years had a hangover from one loss when they play for field position each year in the playoffs, lets get this right a team who we know is going for home field throughout the entire playoffs has a chance to loose that with a loss to us a week after losing and they’re still thinking about the game from the previous week oh ok. I use to joke about yall using mushrooms before responding on here but you’re taking it to a level of drug use I can’t comprehend that sounds so got d dumb one team was having a losing hangover the other was unfocused from winning wtf man just stop it’s getting closer to goofy talk then football talk.  Our 6 week stretch of playing good football is partially about other teams not taking us serious (proper motivation/lack of focus from our opponents) So each team we’ve faced recently is coming in unprepared from coaching bc that’s a coaching issue to not have your guys locked in and ready to play. 6 different teams including the back to back champs Unprepared best coach in the league didn’t have his guys ready Tampa a top five offense didn’t have their guys ready to play so that’s why we ended up in OT about to win until Chubba coughed up the rock yea I see how they didn’t take us seriously. That argument works in the NBA it doesn’t fly in the NFL that much especially not 6 weeks in a row. The Not For Long league means you preform subpar a couple games in a row you’re likely going to be cut or out the league real real fast every play every game matters tremendously in the NFL rarely do you see a team say oh we didn’t have it today maybe a quarter or a half but with only 17 games a season you know to be focused as ever each week bc your jobs always on the line. You don’t have to give any credit to the Panthers just please stop saying the stupidest thing you can think of to discount how we’ve played since Bryce has settled down and sees the field much better and our defense got a little healthier. I guess this weekend you’ll say Dallas wanted to lose to move up in draft placement when we beat the cowboys in Dallas I can’t wait to hear your goofy assessment of why we won it’s becoming comedy you making excuses for how we’ve preformed. Denial is a ugly place to live in but only you can pull yourself up out of that dark place.
