This is true. And there are def times where that rb out of the backfield is the primary read even, way more with Chuba. that was not the case at all yesterday. Bryce was going PA one read, someone leaked out of the backfield, got to the flat, stood there, waved, looked at the mlb who was busy playing Pokémon go, then caught a pass.

I will be rooting for him for you guys.

Yes and often it's the right read. But he did far more beyond the sticks this game than usual

Coryell and Walsh didn’t. if you don’t know, they’re generally considered the architects of modern nfl offenses. They’ve written books. You can read them. Theyre not hard to find. I haven’t read Gus malzahn’s book.

So yes, him having his best game as a pro was a big part, but besides that him doing it while injured, while coming back into the game is a big difference. Yea he has come back and played in games when injured...but he also in those cases have come back in and stunk up the joint like so many times he has in the past and THAT is what makes it different.

I don't think deep in the fan sense matters much, honestly. I still think he needs to be able to consistently place passes well up to 20 yards and that's what is more critical. He did that yesterday - he was basically 7/11 on passes 15-25 yards and that's good enough that it also opens up passes all over the rest of the field. In week 10 he was 1/2 in that range; week 9 2/3 with an int; week 7 he was 0/4. Anyway we need more of that... He needs to be stressing defenses past the sticks for us to open up the rest of the offense.

That depends on the factors involved. Quite a few of the shorter passes that we do throw the "check down" is one of the first 1-2 reads. One could argue that could be because of Bryce but that's really almost impossible for us to know without Dave Canales essentially telling us that directly.

Yeah, it looked worse than it was. He got up with a bloodied face, then had to listen to the judges tell him he sucked lol. Gold, Jerry. GOLD!!

Yes. Do you know ball?

We'll know in about a month. I hope so, but after last year's late season mirage, I'll believe it when I see it.

I HAD AN IDEA...what if the coaches just ya know lie to him. "hey bryce...yea I know the logos on the team we're playing look like SF...but its ACTUALLY the Falcons...the San Francisco falcons". Every week, rinse and repeat.

did he live?

Do you think a check down is considered a read by nfl coaches

I don't think there was anything particularly that he did that made him better as a leader than just play very well. He has played very well before. In terms of leading by "example" or "play" than I suppose this was one of his best performances. In terms of playing through injuries or getting banged up....he has also done that before too. It's the play and/or results that were outside the norm, not really any of the other aspects. He's been a leader, he's been a cheerleader(for his teammates), he's come back from in game injuries, etc. He didn't do anything particularly new other than execute well. That's basically all he has ever really been lacking.

He’s a good QB that’s going to keep getting better.

That's my all time favorite gif. I DVR'd a game or a show and this was right after it. I was like, let's see what the Jewish break-dancer can do. I rewound it and watched it 1000 times. The yarmulke flying off..chef's kiss. I was elated when it became a gif. Anyhow, yeah, if the past is any indication, that's probably Bryce next game.

I just noticed Brian Burns has 13 sacks this season.

Poo , all you want, but damn.. This game done cemented Bryce as Panthers Qb for atleast another 3 years... Bryce apologists will state this game in the annals of time. Do I hate Bryce, no , but reliving the last 3 years for another 3.. will probably lose me as a Panthers fan... I hope he can be who fans on here think he is. I'm glad we won, but at what cost to Panthers future?

his big flaw in durability is he HAS to learn to slide. Go take little league base sliding lessons if needed because one day one of those awkward dives is gonna get him knocked out.

He definitely went thru his progressions yesterday and it did pay off. Of course he still had his misses... But a great game overall. Doesn't mean I want to hang onto him for what he's shown do far.

yesterday was finally the day I've waited for. He became the leader. He was given a Captain patch from the day he walked in the building even with him NEVER having done anything. Yea he did the right things, he high fived everyone as they came off the field, he was a supportive guy but that doesnt make you a leader. Those a good qualities for a leader, but that doesnt make you a leader. Yesterday, coming out with a reaggravation of that ankle injury, then coming back in and delivering THAT performance WHILE injured...thats the kind of thing that elevates the play of those around them and THATS what a leader does. Its the stuff Cam did constantly. You saw him run over 2-3 guys get banged up then get right back in the huddle and go, and that elevates the people around you. When Bryce is going out and performing at a high level while injured, guys go "I will be willing to take that shot across the middle" or "I will fight for that extra yard". For the first time in the Bryce Young era, he became the leader he has to be for the team to win.

I don't really think he nor the DC offense is going to be a consistent 20+ yard targeting offense. We just don't run that kind of offense. In fact, Bryce has never really been in an offense that strayed too far from basic West Coast principles in his NFL career. So, the lack of deep targets can't really be placed completely on his shoulders. It's easy to individually blame him for missing reads deep, which he has over and over. But, I would wager that if you really broke down those "missed reads" in detail that the deep target misses wouldn't stand out statistically. Just a hunch, I have no details on that at all.

If he grows a foot and learns to make a second read he could be a starting caliber qb

I didn't say he would, lol. I said if he could. Look back at the end of last year - Same deal. He shows up every few games and executes. Need consistency at QB and he hasn't been it.

I’d hate Bryce a lot less if he stopped trying to be a zoomer street style influencer and just became psychotic like Winston.
