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 suppose I could take the same tact with you and say something like, "I know PF69 isn't a fan of our boy...," but the reality is Brent Burns isn't playing that well. The first breakaway MacKinnon had was totally not Burns. He was along the board and Martinook was spun down trying play him. Burns was pushed to the outside when Martinook went down, but no way was he going to catch Mac. He pinched up on the right board when Slavin was carrying the puck into the zone and nobody was back. Couple things there; either there was no communication or Burns simply assumed, as most of us probably would, that Slavin would successfully rim the puck around behind the goal. It didn't happen. Slavin was clear down by the dots and the puck was stopped behind the net by the Avs and a long stretch pass followed with a breakaway goal. Burns was waiting on Slavin's rim, but it never got there.  To answer your question, Burns is a -2 for the season, and -5 over the last 6. So, go ahead and roast him for that, and then look at the +3 from the previous 7 games. Keep in mind, he is a +2 for his entire career, so what we're seeing is not anything new, it's fairly consistent over a 1441 game career thus far. And also look at his TOI, which is at the lowest in his career, while his CF% and oZS% are both career highs. He may not be doing everything right, but most of it he's getting done. Oh yeah, Slavin is a -3 over the last 6 games, too, so there's that. You may think +/- is an important stat, but if you take a 3-3 record over the last 6 games, and 2 of those games were ass-kickings (6-3 and 6-0), everyone on the damn roster is going to be a -something except Necas, maybe. 
    • The Golden Goose is us.  Baseball is in the process of doing this to fans by making everything a PAY to watch.  People viewing has drop in large numbers from the days o WTBS the Braves,  WOR the Mets,  WGN  Cubs,   and they wonder why the younger generation doesn't watch.  If college football become Pay to Watch,  the golden goose will disappear. IF cable, satellite, streaming services keep raising the rates to watch ( so they can pay ESPN , SEC Big10 networks etc,,  it'll too lose viewers.   We already have ala carte selections of what we watch.. hence we don't watch 7 home shopping networks.
