Here’s part two of this week’s mailbag!
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! It's the bye week, I apologize for getting to this late this week, but if the Panthers can take a break so can I!
Thank you for your continued participation in the mailbag, I wouldn’t be able to do it without any questions to answer! To recap, Brian Answers is part two of our weekly fan mailbag, where you get all your questions earlier in the week answered. Let’s dive in!
Old_Gregg: Who starts at QB coming out of the bye?
Bryce Young was announced to be starting and I would expect him to continue to start for the rest of the season. There’s really no reason not to keep going with him since he’s showing some progress. The Panthers don’t need to put Andy Dalton back out there unless Bryce goes back to weeks 1+2 version.
Mozzie11: General thought is that a winning streak is a series of consecutive wins or successes, often measured by at least three wins without losses or ties.
Should we throw societal norms to the side and claim we are on a winning streak at least until the Chiefs game?
For the Panthers, two wins in a row has been a rare feat post Cam Newton/Ron Rivera, so we’re going to celebrate that. And don’t worry, they’ll be on an actual winning streak once they defeat the Chiefs next week.
@WTMealey: My question
Compare and Contrast Bryce and Daniel Jones. Or what does Bryce need to do to get the 6 years of grace that Jones has gotten?
I think Daniel Jones was afforded more time to develop and grow after throwing for over 3,000 yards and 24 TDs in his rookie season (though he did cough up 12 picks as well). That usually is enough to give a shiny new QB a few years of leeway. Then, in 2022 he had a good enough year. I was plenty shocked by the Giants giving him the extension they did, but he seemed to be on the upswing. So far, Bryce hasn’t come close to those kinds of numbers, but if he can continue his performance over the last two wins, I wouldn’t see a reason for the Panthers to entirely cut bait with him. Whether they bring in some form of competition is a different matter regarding 2025.
TLGPanthersFan: Been seeing a lot of people saying we say Alabama Bryce on Sunday. Do you agree even though his stat line was pretty much the same since he got here. Dude made some good throws but no team can win a Super Bowl with a QB that struggles to throw 200 yards a game.
I think the big difference is Bryce Young made throws and good plays, and didn’t cost the team the game. Don’t get me wrong, the Giants and Saints both share plenty of blame as to why those were...
