So you're telling me if Joe Burrow was throwing to Bryce's receivers last year and not Jamarr Chase and Tee Higgins, this wouldn't change? Joe Burrow is great, no doubt. I think he might be the best QB in the NFL. But his top 2 receivers are fantastic as well, and that makes things easier. Even Tom Brady, the king of tearing teams apart with short passes, played differently when he had Randy Moss or Mike Evans. You have to trust the guys to make those plays downfield, or you take the higher percentage play. It's why guys like Chad Pennington were able to make a moderate career out of a weak arm, and guys like Rex Grossman flamed out quickly. I'm excited to see Bryce in year 3 with his promising young receiver group because he is showing more trust in his guys this year (based on camp and preseason). Bryce has shown he can be accurate, but his guys have to make the catch and build that trust.

we got Coke and Hooker....should be a fun season

The problem I have with Hooker is he is already 27. So all that potential you have in a player is gone. He is already in his prime. He’s shown nothing for the lions who is a great team with great weapons and great offensive line. You think that’s going to change here?

From day 1, I have maintained the Panthers org has screwed Bryce Young and set him up for failure. People got mad that I was insulting Frank Reich and that super team. Some folks in this very thread were lecturing me very hard about how wrong I was going into that Frank season. and I have said the same thing about attempt #2 from day 1. The org is setting Bryce Young for failure. And just like the Frank Reich era, people get mad about me saying he doesn't fit what Canales does and wants from his QB. So....yeah, I disagree with your framing there. I have pinned most of the blame on Carolina. Not Bryce Young.

How is D. Lewis? If he's out, that left side might be a problem.

From 2017-2020, Brees completed one pass that traveled 35+ yards. He was still very good. Would I prefer Bryce have a big arm? Of course. But if we can get late Brees...

XL(1st yr) drops comes to mind, especially the INT when dude rip his the ball out of his hands(n he really one of the best WRs we gonna end up having along with Tmac n Coker(probably the best WR on the team))...js, was Burrow throwing to Mingo...BINGO

I don't necessarily agree with that comp. Not saying you're wrong. Just that I don't agree with that train of thought. Bryce is more elusive than many give him credit to be. Not athletic, but elusive. I would say one of the more elusive QBs in the NFL. Like top 5. Where Lamar is way ahead of the pack. BY tends to thrive in the off schedule plays more than he does as a 5 steps and then let it rip guy. Brees got the ball to the right guy quickly. Young tends to like to buy time to allow guys to get open. That's a little bit of a flaw in my opinion. Sometimes you just have to let a guy make a play. If it's 3rd and 8, and a guy is open at 5 yards, just get him the ball and let him get the extra 3 yards.

If Ickey misses week 1, it'll show us how valuable he is to the team. Is our O-line gonna crumble or is our depth good enough? We'll find out....

no no no. Bryce Young is apparently Jake Delhomme. Or maybe Brett Favre. Russell Wilson I guess? I don't know, panthers55 will make sure we get it right.

I mean, we can talk about typical. You are randomly making a stand that Bryce freaking Young....is a deep chunk pass gunslinger? I mean THAT is comedy. Go sell that somewhere that isn't the huddle and tell me how it goes. We have already done deep factual dives on Canales and his tree. We have done it on Bryce. None of this talk is new. Go search the huddle. And I for one am not deep diving into things that have already been done because you want to pretend it all hasn't been.

So we have a 30 year old WR a year removed from the NFL prior to that he had two subpar seasons. It was always going to be an uphill battle to make the roster. Sounds like he isn’t sure if he has the ability to keep working his was up or not on the practice squad. But yeah dumb Panthers for cutting him….

He was worse than Plummer. I dont have high hopes but wish him to do great

Not y'all logging into a Carolina Panthers message board to call other Carolina Panthers fans homers.

Bryce Young has been a tale of two QBs. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. To use stats and film prior to returning from being benched is a little disingenuous. Completely different players. Like a new BY returned. You could actually see him trying something new every week, that he was afraid to do before - and being successful at it. If he picks up this season where he left off, we'll have our franchise QB. And yes he was proficient against pressure. And yes he could throw the deep ball efficiently - with a couple of drops that NFL WRs shouldn't make. If he reverts back to the unsure and conservative Bryce from the first two games and most of his rookie season, then we'll be drafting a QB in the first round in 2026. No one knows which we'll get yet. Not even Bryce. My advice would be to stay aggressive going down field. The FO appears to be bringing in receivers that can win the 50/50 ball. That opens up routes underneath. Teams stop blitzing as much and keep a safety over the top. Now what if they had to keep two? It's a lot tougher to defend the middle of the field with LBs than Safeties. I get what they're doing. BY just has to play that game. I think he will. He did in college.

Now do panther homers

It's really, really strange how much I'm seeing folks down on Bryce repeating "NO EXCUSES!" for his failures while having nothing but excuses to try and invalidate his successes.

That was a no brainer move

It seems you just want to bag on the organization at this point. It is clear they had interest, it didn't work out initially, but it is coming out that he is getting his time to see what he wants to do. That is somehow turning into knocks on Canales play calling, lack of ingenuity, Dan's GM decisions, and the ineptitude of the entire organization. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that he was an okay to decent WR, with only one thousand yard season, and returning from battling a crippling ailment. All you keep saying is he is better than and he brings something we don't have. You know what we do have, six WRs who aren't recovering from a debilitating gastrointestinal issue.

I will stick with NFL Bite

Im shocked the line about wanting Thielen gone to get young receivers more opportunities was really about getting ones college guy on the roster.

Lots of opinion and no facts. Typical for you. You decide what reality is and run down that road regardless of the facts. Props for being consistent.

The comp was Brees.

Almost as funny as Carolina Panther homers before a season kickoffs My preseason calls under Tepper have played out at a high percentage. It's so easy. When thinks smell odd....they 99% of the time are just that. Just go with that.
