QB JACK PLUMMER "STEALING REPS" THIS WEEK "Just in case"

GO JACK!!!!

Jack Plummer's been "stealing reps," in case he needs them





CHARLOTTE — The last time anyone saw Jack Plummer, he ran Panthers plays pretty well.

For the last seven weeks, the only time Jack Plummer ran a Panthers play was if another team happened to have it in their playbook, too.

This week, he's running a few, just in case, and "stealing" a few wherever he can to try to stay ready.

With uncertainty over the status of Andy Dalton's right thumb injury and whether he can even serve as a backup Sunday at Denver, Plummer is suddenly in the mix again for this weekend, as the only other quarterback on the roster other than starter Bryce Young.

Welcome to the life of a suddenly possibly necessary practice squad quarterback.

"Obviously, they've got to get the guys who are playing ready to play; I understand that," Plummer said. "For me It's making the most of whatever limited reps I get and being mentally prepared for whatever may happen."

If Dalton's healthy enough to be a backup, he will; if not, or even if they want the insurance, Plummer could be activated for the game and get a uniform for the first time since Buffalo in August.

Plummer got a ton of reps in the preseason when Dalton was getting the veteran's benefit of the doubt and dealing with some minor injuries, and Young wasn't playing.

And the first two games weren't ideal, as he was a combined 22-of-39 for 128 yards in his first two preseason games (and that 3.28 yards per attempt was pretty indicative of how those games went). Then he went to Buffalo, and everything changed.

In the third preseason game against the Bills, after Young led his only preseason drive for a touchdown, Plummer came in and lit it up. He was 21-of-29 that day for 278 yards and two touchdowns, evidence of progress no matter who it was coming against.

His improvement during the preseason was impressive.  Would like to see him get some real action.

Me, too.  I was hoping to see him get some playing time at least in the 4th quarter yesterday, but no deal.    He simply CANNOT be any worse than Bryce Young, and if they are leaving Bryce out there in hopes of boosting his trade value, they are fighting a losing game with that, too.  Bryce has no trade value for anyone looking for anything more than a waterboy.

I feel bad for Bryce, I really do, he's just out of his league both figuratively and literally. 

But if we EVER have hopes of winning another football game, we have to start looking LAST WEEK.

Unfortunately for Plummer…. At least for now. If he even plays Bryce loses any value (if he actually has any) that he may have.

Well...... It won't be long now. We will know for certain in about a week. One week from tomorrow. Tuesday, November 5th. 4:00 PM Eastern time. Then it will be finished for awhile. The speculation will end and off-season speculation will begin.  If it doesn't happen before next Tuesday, nothing will happen (officially, trade-wise..) until the new contract year.

*** SIGH ***  A week to go -- Next Tuesday --- SMDH

 Uh-Oh   Just had a thought (Danger-Danger!!!!!) 


Oh CRAP..!!!    Oh NOOOoooo

Funny hobs.  We need bpa for the first pick of the draft.  Plummers a piece I’d look at past this year.  Coker n Richardson as well for udfa’s.

Ok,   who will be traded by next Tuesday ?  We've seen many names discussed.  Deonte Johnson is probably the most mentioned,  but I've seen a a lot more.  Hubbard, Horn , Mingo, Miles Sanders, Thielan  come to mind. 
The only think we'd trade these type players for is a draft picks,, correct ?  I hope  JC Horn is just conversation and not available for draft pick.


If someone offered you a 7th round pick for Bryce Young, would you take it ?   or hold out for a year or two and see if someone offers you a 4th or 5th because they haven't seen him play in over a year.   Personally I think we'll end up cutting him .

Side bar :   many wanted us to pick another QB with that number 1 pick.   But I think we'd be hard pressed to find the people who know football, that thought he'd not even be serviceable.   I mean that he'd be so bad as an NFL QB.  

NINE GAMES LEFT ..   9

I would give a 7th rounder for someone to take Bryce!!! 

JC I believe we have a club option for next year only on him. Not sure I have any faith on Dan locking him up longterm prior to that. We will have a losing club next year…just the facts… so unless we are POSITIVE we can lock him up long term, or take what we can get this year. With Morgan that might be a 7th rounder.
