Good show JC. Spot on analysis of the Bryce Young situation. I do think the Panthers should retain Chuba as a backup to Brooks if we can reach a fair market deal.
It's sad some of yall are already on to next year, let's get behind THIS team and have balls to say we can win this year! RED ROCKET, XL, CHUBBA, MIKE JACK, PEVY, D. J., NO BAGS HUNT, I could keep going.
Lets have faith this could be like 04, anything is still possible! KEEP POUNDING!!! My fellow Panther Fans.
This will make Bryce Young a Better QB1 Don't trade him he is a Diamond in the ruff He is a Ace in the hole keep Pounding
Andy Dalton is a great QB 1
Bryce fucking sucks
You need to rewatch yourself
quote “ if Dalton continues to play like this should the Panthers extend him?) Really ? Only NFL qb on the roster! Give it up on Bryce – too small no arm can’t read defense can’t set protectionproved it weekly! Dalton is it for the next couple years and buys us time to find the next! Probably the next one will be a FA and use our picks to draft best players available regardless of positionHopefully, Bryce can become a legit QB1 in time, I still don't see a reason not to take the BPA at QB if/when opportunity arises.
So negative and Bryce apologist! There are pros on this team and you sir are selling them short! Short like Bryce!
So that's why you keep saying carolina broke him… you're a fan of his lol….I hope he gets it at some point but it's on him if he doesnt… we can't keep blaming everybody else
Hell I never want to draft a qb in round 1 again unless last name Manning!
He can be a QB1 , but not with my team, Carolina Panthers
Also, my apology to you, Julian, still stands. But this week definitely made me feel justified in my argument that this team and staff gave reasons to feel somewhat optimistic.
I hope we do extend andy dalton
Looked like we had a good line and running game Sunday – not the lines fault that #9 can’t read defense or set protection or see the middle of the field – use him on scout team or just cut him
If your a fan of Bryce maybe you should follow him to the CFL – that’s his future
Playing Bryce through the growing pains would be a mistake because you'd run the risk of losing the locker room. This entire team looked better because they believed they had a chance. Keeping Bryce on the field isn't just affecting him.
It’s one game and unfortunately for Andy he is in his later years I hope and pray the success continues for sure KEEP POUNDING
Bryce has to get some dog in him to have a future you cannot be a choirboy in the league and you can’t be the same size as a beat reporter it’s not going to work without drastic change Bryce is done
The game he played in college will never work in nfl. Defense coaches too smart..players too big and fast. Play Dalton this year and maybe next. Draft everything but a qb . This team is close to being really good despite what the national media says.
I just know Carolina fans will flip if they put Bryce Young out there again. That was the worst football I ever seen in my life.
I believe you underestimate how relieved the fanbase is to have a REAL professional QB behind center! There will be a crowd Sunday now! We are glad Canales pulled the plug after 2 games just wish he had started Dalton game 2 after the Saints fiasco! Think the players forced him
Have him stay one more year to help to develop the next guy and when he retires…he can be our QB Coach!!!
Mane kill the Bryce young stuff bruh! He ain’t it you can’t 👁️👁️.!!!😅😅😅
Huge and I mean Huge Andy fan here! Ummm did they like turn on the "actually play well" button on these players or were they stuck with a bike that doesn't only have flat tires but a broken chain too. Guy…. wake up man! Bryce wasn't developed the right way and now it is time to sit him which he should have been doing just like JustinF should have been doing from the get go. I know Andy is by no means the most flashy player but if given a decent D and a good O-line just look back at 2015 and that dude is still the same dude if not better… Ballin out! Go Andy!
I’m scared for the Panthers!! Cincy is a trap game!! The Panthers right now are full of themselves!! That’s dangerous!!
We would be dumb to not resign Chuba. Heartbeat of the offense, play hard no matter what, taught by CMC, has done nothing but get better year after year.
I understand RBs have a short shelf life, but there are some things more important.
