Hot Take: This team will never get over the hump, until we move on from Bryce.

Prime Cam did more with less, so don't give me that no weapons crap.

Cam had a great run game. One of the best tight ends.  

Plus a much better defense.  

Say what you want.

[PanthersGTI]

200+ yards, 2 TDs , 0 turnovers all while : pressured on 70% of snaps, AT the only weapon on offense.

 

[Shocker]

The fuggin Falcons just scored on 4th down to keep it alive.  Dammit

[Carolina Cajun]

Maybe, maybe not.  Regardless, I'd say just roll with him for the time being.  Lets face it, look at this roster, Where are the game changers.  Chuba has developed, so we got that, but defense Brown is great if healthy.  Jaycee can be good, but not been a gamechanger.  We HAVE to build a foundation first, until then doesnt matter who our QB is.

Early in his career, Cam had Deangelo Williams & Jonathan Stewart, a good Oline, Greg Olsen, and Smitty.

The Oline is probably overall a wash, but Cam otherwise had better weapons across the board.

The Oline got progressively worse the longer Cam was here, but in his first few seasons he had a legit supporting cast

Food for thought-

There is a QB that is going to play Sunday for the Chiefs that is 47-45 as a starter and has thrown 153 TDs to 63 INTs. 

Carson Wentz got a bad wrap a few years back. The guy has a cannon. He spent 2023 with McVay and Stafford in LA and has sat behind Mahomes and Reid this season. Supposedly, Canales had a lot to do with the turnarounds of Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. Give this dude a shot to start. 

If Bryce beats him, then great. If not, then great. I would almost say the same for Drew Lock.

You have to play the cards you’re dealt and right now we’re not in a position to draft or sign a QB. Our best option is to build the team around him and hope for the best.

Yeah we could afford Wentz or Lock for not much at all. Kid needs real competition.

I'd be fine with either I'm all for Bryce to have some competition.

This topic rears its ugly head every time we get stomped. Bryce has played well enough to be #1 QB going into 2025. It's extremely difficult to win in this league when you have the worst run defense in the NFL. 

The focus of the offseason should be defense. IMO there are very few players on the defense that should be in the starting line-up. We have to fix the defense so we can have abetter gauge on Young.  It's very difficult to gauge him when we are down 10-14 points before the end of the first half. 

We can address the offense through free agency and the latter part of the draft.

The packers org clearly does 

Good point. However, that proves my original point. That is, if you have an organization that knows what they are doing (Green Bay), the Panthers will be fine. If Canales, Morgan and scouting don't know what they are doing, it doesn't matter how many early draft picks you have. 

Also concerning Green Bay, aside from picking Rogers and Love late in the first round, the organization was also confident they could DEVELOP these players.

Both Darnold and Mayfield have proven to be pretty good QBs with time and development. Obviously, NO ONE with the Panthers saw this. Hopefully, as things move forward, the organization will recognize who can be developed and who can't.

He's earned himself another year. He's been playing well after he's been benched.

[Candler Cat]

In this case, 'well' meaning a step up from complete garbage 

[Ghostofdelhomme]

For every Mayfield and Darnold there are 10 Bortles. Is it really that hard to fathom a hall of fame receiver reviving a former blue chip? Cunningham on Minnesota hello?
