I guess this is supposed to be Ashley's replacement or something

She seems to be a NASCAR reporter/host. So she already lives in Charlotte.

And evidently, she's covered the Hornets before.

Read on Twitter


Looks like a solid replacement.

Hopefully Collins calls her "Spake and Bake" at least a few times.

I can already see it, at the break between the third and the fourth quarter

"it's now time for Spake's Takes brought to you by Fresh Market"

I do hope we manage to bring back Terrence oglesby.

Bryce is mentally gone. Its Zach Wilson levels of bad, but even Zach Wilson had some guts.

I was at the game, behind the Panthers bench. Nobody believes in that guy anymore. Dalton has to be put in or Canales will lose the team and he'll be one and done

I don't think they can afford the turnover at coach for risk of it becoming a radioactive position. It's already ugly Betty, and moving on from a relatively promising young guy after having what seems like 5 coaches in three years is bad bad

yeah you have to evaluate the rest of the team, not just the QB, and you straight up can't evaluate our offense when you have a mini potato leading it. Dalton kinda has to play at this point, otherwise how do you know if we have good receivers, a good OL, a good coach?

**** the tank, not even the most diehard ultra-homer CU fans I know believe Shadeur Sanders is all he's cracked up to be.

Is Bryce young the worst quarterback that's ever started a game for the Panthers? And yes I'm including all those third stringers or practice squad Scrubs elevated to start a game at the end of the season. I think literally any other quarterback we've ever had would give us a better shot on offense.

Agree that they have to evaluate the rest of the roster not just Bryce. And you can't expect 51 other guys to put their bodies on the line every Sunday just so the Panthers can delay the inevitable with Bryce.

Dalton shouldn't play for the simple reason of if he's good (or even average), we'll win at least 3-4 games and that'll take us out of the #1 pick in this draft. The rest of the team, besides maybe our DL, isn't that bad.

So sacrifice Bryce to the football Gods so we can replace him with Sanders or whoever the #1 QB is in this draft.

This goes to show you how useless that QB test thing they take at the combine is.

Supposedly Bryce had a near perfect score, and Stroud struggled. Which is one of the reasons we went with Bryce.

Now in the NFL Bryce looks like he's mini-Jamarcus Russell and Stroud looks like an All-Pro.

I hate Bryce Young in a way I've never hated one of our players before. I feel pure anger and disgust whenever I see him.

Armanti Edwards would have been a better full time QB than Bryce is rn

I just started following the NFL the last few years and I'm not a Panthers fan, but I don't know if Ive ever seen a bigger train wreck in any sport that Ive followed than this Panthers organization right now. They somehow seems significantly worse than the Hornets organization has ever been. Its just sad.

Randy Fasani was worse than Bryce Young.

One career start in 2002: 15/44 (34%) 171 yds and four INTs while taking seven sacks. His yardage looks decent but that was all Steve Smith turning screen passes into chunk plays.

That's the entire list though, so yeah...Dalton needs to be in there to give the rest of the guys a chance.

last season felt worse than 7-59. this year has a very large possibility of being worse than that though I feel more comfortable with Dalton running things for a few weeks before we try to redeploy Bryce
