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

If Bryce Young were 5 inches taller and playing the exact same these threads wouldn’t even get made.

They absolutely would, just like they were when Teddy was QB and when Sam was QB. Baker too to some degree but that was doomed to fail from the start.

Yeah, but see....those random throws don't make him not Teddy two gloves.  Because Teddy two gloves had those random throws too that went against his norm. 

I think if Bryce turned into Teddy B the passer....we should be happy.  Not mad.  Because Bryce adds to that a better aspect with his slipperiness and legs. 

I can see that a little. However we have to remember Teddy had Robby Anderson, DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel and a young Christian McCaffrey. I just need to see Bryce with a playmaking receiver or two before I make final judgment. Not that Thielen isn't good, but he's a possession receiver that will sneak one by you if you're not paying attention.

remember, he actually only had Mike Davis in reality.  A random journeyman RB.  CMC effectively out the whole season.  Basically everyone around him was some variant of a NFL JAG minus DJ Moore.  That was Curtis' best season in the NFL w/ Teddy.  That was Robbie's only 1000k season. 

people turned hard on Teddy and actually sided w/ Rhule at the time.  Teddy in reality, was one of the few things they did right.  He was actually the perfect bridge QB and get the team right QB.  He just couldn't keep quiet Rhule and company were lacking NFL basics....and he said it as nice as possible.

Teddy and Rhule both sucked, but Rhule unfortunately got a little benefit of the doubt given his new coach status. Plenty of ubiquitous suckage happening in Carolina these recent years. Teddy was a guy that had shown for years he was only as good as the team around him and even then was a limiting factor due to his love of checkdowns, which we watched firsthand.

Huddle gonna Huddle.. lol .. 

I going to go out on a limb and say if Dalton didn't get hurt we'd be up with Atlanta and Tampa fighting for a playoff spot.. 

If the best case scenario is another Bryce = Teddy 2 gloves then count me out on him... 

What makes you think that exactly?  Admittedly he probably wins the same games as Bryce but I don't think he sneaks one of our losses to a win with him based on how the opposing team played...

Dalton was complete ass in the games leading up to his injury. Maybe you beat NO the second time with him, you probably beat the Giants, you do not beat the Cardinals. So you'd have 1-2 fewer wins. Not more. Because you're also taking away Young's rushing numbers in hopes of more Dalton pass yardage, which as we saw in his last 4 starts, was by no means a guarantee.

Curtis was damn good his last two years here. He was genuinely a threat to score anytime he had the ball in his hands. It’s also easy to forget Robby used to be a good player. He was having huge games for the jets, just didn’t get a ton of volume. He was good here, then fell off a cliff. It happens.

That offense and those weapons were miles better than what we currently have. It’s not even close. DJ Moore was our slowest starting receiver. Our offense was generated by YAC which is something we haven’t seen here since.

Agree they didn't have a stud runner, but Curtis, DJ and Robbie is a fast group. They all are YAC playmakers. Robbie was a legitimate "stretch the defense" deep threat.

And for all his flaws, Joe Brady sets up a YAC scheme.   It’s the plan.  We were top 10 in YAC and Joe Brady is that today as well.  Part of the reason we got no YAC is that’s not what Frank or Canales want to do big picture.

If you're saying he's a modern day John Fox then I  hope he finds his Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith. If he doesn't he's not going to see the end of his contract.

      Time to draft a running back?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Williams sucks. Why do you think they're trying to find his replacement? RBs are not equal, dude. UDFAs are undrafted for a reason.  I have tried to explain it several times: The RB position is devalued in a contractural sense when it comes time to renew---basically from a business perspective, but from an on-the-field perspective they are as important as ever. You want the best talent that you can get, and exceptional ones get paid. Others who are perceived near the back side of their career don't, unless maybe they're perceived as a missing piece to a chip, and even then it's not to long term contracts. UDFAs and JAGs are let go religiously because they're just guys, someone to hold space and keep it moving. Teams don't generally let good backs go, unless they think they can get a better one, can't or don't want to pay what the market demands, or the back is injured.

      In spirit of this week: what is your favorite Panthers/Falcons memory?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Like many of you I have followed the Panthers for a long time. I was a PSL owner for nearly a decade and can count on one hand how many Panthers games I have missed watching. When you follow a team this closely, they become tethered in your lives and your worst/best memories.    What are some of your most memorable Panthers/Falcons moments? I will share some of mine.  2003- Carolina @ Atlanta I was in high school. Michael Vick was coming back from injury and it was Sunday night football in Atlanta. My grandfather had been very ill and was confined to his bed at this point. He had never been a Panthers fan or football fan in general. I spent Sunday/Sunday nights with him while he was sick to give my other family members a break from his caretaking. That season, he had went from not caring what was on TV to hooping and hollering about the Panthers. That night though sticks out to me. I had actually fallen asleep before him, and he woke me up to tell me it was going into OT. I still remember the oxygen mask around his face as he stared directly at the TV. The Panthers lost the game, but I felt like he and I had actually bonded around something. He died the night after we beat the Rams in the Playoffs that season and he never got to see them in the SuperBowl, but that season will always be special to me beyond the fact that we made it to the Super Bowl that year.    2014- Carolina @ Atlanta The other was the 2014 season in Atlanta. We won the game to go to the post season that year. That night was one of the worst of my life. I sat in the ER after my father had a heart attack. I remember just seeing it up on the screen in the corner of the room and while I sat with Dad in silence, I watched the game to keep my mind busy. My Dad passed about 3am but that game sticks out in my mind as one that was special for more than one reason. I felt like my Dad and I shared that game in that small hospital room.

      By NAS · Posted

      I feel like running backs are the easiest position to evaluate in terms of how a player will translate into the NFL. You at least have a better chance drafting a running back in those late rounds.
