Like seriously WTF? I haven’t been the biggest Bryce fan but he’s been playing a lot better lately. He had a bad game, but he was also under constant duress. The fumble in the first quarter was inexcusable. The first INT was a fluke bounce (not great but 9 times out of 10 it’s just an incompletion). Second fumble was due to broken protection. And second INT was the right read, he just underthrew the ball.
Why in the world would they evaluate if Dalton is the answer next year instead of using these weeks for Bryce’s development???

I’ve read a lot of idiotic takes about the Panthers this season but this one might take the cake.
This just feels like bait for people who didn’t watch the game honestly.
We absolutely cannot go back to Dalton, what is this click bait shit?
Please, begging all Panthers fans to not click, read, follow, engage anything David Newton does for his coverage of the Panthers. It is an absolute joke that he remains our beat writer, but doesn’t get page views, clicks, etc. then maybe we can finally be free.
David Newton is an unserious reporter and should be treated as such
Canales insists??? Bro nobody has even THOUGHT about bringing back Dalton except for you and Joe Person asking him in EVERY single press conference. I know all our other beat writers despise having to tell others they have the same job as yall
It wouldn’t surprise me if Dustin Newjack had this one hip pocketed ready to go the minute Bryce had a less than stellar game. The first interception and the second fumble weren’t really his fault and before the second pick he still had a decent game going.
He’s also had like 3 or 4 tweets after the game with stupid or incorrect shit on it. It’s insane that he still has a job
He’s trollin lololol
David Newton is such an annoying guy. Pay him no mind
Wtf
Probably not in his top 20, tbh
I still don’t understand how this guy is employed by the largest sports network in the country. The players and coaches even think his questions are ridiculous.
Why would we need another look at Dalton after one bad game by Bryce? Also, he was getting 0 help from anyone on the team. He shoulders some of the blame, but when your defense can’t stop literally anyone and your run game is non-existent, you get games like this.
Surprise surprise, young qb with very little talent around him struggles. Big whoop. Build around Bryce!
Yeah every time I don’t think davis new some can put out anything more mind numbingly stupid than what I’ve already seen, he always seems to find a way.
I’m not a huge football guy. I watch the Panthers because I live in Charlotte and my family are big fans. I watch enough to know what’s going on, I know most of the rules, etc. I find myself here because Reddit recommended it.
That all being said, my totally noob opinion: it doesn’t matter who the QB is. Our QBs get sacked CONSTANTLY because our O-line is straight dookie. We have no amazing targets to throw to. Our running game is okay at best. You could get a time machine and pick any of the QB greats in their prime, bring them to 2024 to play on the Panthers and they would suck. They should stick with Bryce for the sole reason he is young and they can build a team around him, hopefully. I like Dalton, but by the time they get a team in place for him, he’s going to be retiring. I don’t think the leadership is capable of making good decisions though. I’ve lost all faith in them. Knowing them, once Bryce starts playing really well they’ll probably trade him away lol.
Booooo Newton Booooo…..everyone Booooo this man.
Dalton turned the ball over six hundred times in his last start lmao
If anyone took this with an ounce of seriousness after today’s overall performance you’re a lost cause bc what a better way to destroy the confidence of your rookie no.1 pick QB than saying “Hey! You’ve been balling out and you’ve really turned it around since you came back but this one game where it wasn’t just you, the entire team played beyond terrible… yeah we’re just gonna ride it out with Dalton.. okay bud🙂..”
I’m not a fan of Newton’s writing usually, but this isn’t the hottest take. Has Bryce been playing better? Yes, but better than catastrophically bad is still abysmally bad.
I still think we ride once more with BY, but I’ve always been firmly in the “dump BY off at the nearest Amtrak station and let him ride back to CA” camp. After this year we should know for sure what BYs ceiling is.
The concern at the beginning of the season was that you had other 52 guys to think about but it is clear now that they are bought into Young
Maybe I’ll be downvoted to oblivion. But the reason they benched Bryce in the first place was that he was playing so bad that they couldn’t evaluate other players on the roster. And if he gets back to that point, the Panthers should consider benching him.
The good news for now is that this game still wasn’t as bad as early in the season.
