Are the Panthers still coddling Bryce?

Would've liked to seen some sort of competition brung in at Qb. Two decent games in 30 and they are acting like he's going to be lighting it up.

We have a solid backup in Dalton. Bringing in a young QB early in the draft would only serve to create a QB controversy for no good reason. If Bryce regresses this year then we'll know it's time to go looking for a QB in next year's draft. Taking Dillon Gabriel or Quinn Ewers this year wouldn't have changed that.

Dalton is not anywhere close to a solid backup.  Dude looked washed and horrible after the vegas game.

They signed a UDFA Qb to come in.  You want us using actual resources on that right now?

[Jon Snow]

No. This is ridiculous.

I think you have unrealistic expectations for a backup QB.

[Bostonheelfish]

When were they coddling him? When he was getting pommeled into the ground his rookie year?

after the vegas game Dalton was one of the worst if not worst qbs in the league.    I dont have unrealistic expectations at all.

coddling isnt the word OP should be using

I’m still not convinced Bryce is the guy but I don’t think there have been any great options for us to bring in for competition. Bryce is the guy this year unless he shows he isn’t then we have Dalton, but in that case we are realistically looking at 2026 QBs anyways.

Who are the top backup QBs in the league?

Yeah dude I am not going to play that game with you, Andy dalton was the worst qb in the nfl or close to it after the vegas.   If we cannot do better then that then whats the point?

1) committing to your QB is not a bad thing

2) putting your QB in the best situation to win by getting him a good OL and giving him a lot of weapons is not a bad thing.

We are heading in the right direction. Feeling some positivity about the team is not a bad thing.

I think they're committed to him but I think the coddling stopped with the benching. Commitment isn't necessarily the same as coddling. The benching and how Bryce responded to it is by far the most promising development in his career so far. He couldn't have possibly handled it better and I think the Panthers got everything they could've hoped for out of it.
