Hey, why not....if Bryce Young can, then why not XL. Just watch, let me put on my Bryce Young gymnastics hat and apply it to XL. Did you know through 27 NFL games, XL has more TDs than DJ Moore, Steve Smith, and Mushin Muhammad did 27 games into their careers at Carolina? Some would say, XL is on track to be the GOAT. Which is way better than GWDs.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ben-johnson-were-winning-in-spite-of-our-passing-game-not-because-of-it This should be what canales is saying .

Not true. Eugene Robinson said on the post game show that it was a designed route for him to set up the DB and then blow by him. That is why Bryce is already throwing the ball. He knows where the route is taking TMac.

Scary, sobering thought is making Young the highest paid qb. Even if it is just for a season, but 62 million for what he does?

The eam continues to bring in receiving talent, and the issue will resolve itself. XL Won't be getting any kind of an extension here.

CRA Eye Don't Lie Stat of the Week In 2025, Bryce has been backup caliber in 9 of 12 starts. When someone tells you who they are in 2025, 2024, and 2023.....it's best you believe them and not cherry pick your way to horrific decisions.

Did you know if you only look at the completion percentage of every pass byoung has thrown and completed that he has a 100% completion percentage pretty much best ever for a qb.

Coker is so much better at actually being a receiver. He blocks well too.

Leggette is long gone in this frame? And McMillan has a hand literally touching him. What happened is Bryce threw him upfield and McMillan drifted up with the ball. McMillan was continuing on his line until bryce threw him open. It’s clear and obvious but you don’t wanna see that for some reason? It was a great throw, late in the progression, on 4th down in crunch time against the best team in the NFL. It was a dime.

completion %?

Everyone knows when doing a 21 game cherry pick you only count total TDs and compare them only against specific turnovers.

Good God, Canales is a hell of a Head Coach.

4 great games a year doesn't make him a good QB worth keeping like the "he is out guy" mentality that comes around Everytime he doesn't suck ass

Thank you for answering the OP's question. Love the breakdown.

Derrick Coleman and Kenny Anderson would like a word.

He had a great game regardless. I would understand your post if he didn’t play well overall.

I bet XL wishes he lived in the world where people show him the same leniency/patience that Bryce Young gets.

Charles Lee is indeed a pretty trash coach. I was willing to give the guy a while, but I really don't think any roster could win with an albatross in such a vital role. That said, it feels great to win back-to-back games for what feels like the first time in years! Kon took a calculated risk with that game-tying three with 10 seconds left against the Raptors, but it worked out perfectly.

Leaving out Legette was definitely his intention. AT would be an improvement over Legette.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all. I still don’t think he’ll ever get us to the show, but we might be stuck with a large contract. The 5th year tier 1 QB option is already over $40M. I’m worried we won’t ever try to draft a QB with a high pick and get elite level physical talent. I do like the 2026 QB draft because there have been a lot of underachieving QBs that were highly touted. Good draft to get a potential great value. I’m going to enjoy the ride we’ve had so far this year but I don’t like the idea of extending knowing we are basically doing what Arizona did with Murray knowing he’s just OK and not going to lead you to the SB.

KC would make all the sense in the world. Buffalo could be a sleeper.

Block his ass off, which he did. But he just doesn't pop on the field like T-Mac does. Legette is a worse Devin Funchess.

Not sure if intentional, but you left out Legette. I realize he's underwhelmed more often than not, but I'm still holding out hope he puts it together with some more consistency.

not saying it's not. but the revisionist history just 24 hours on how Bryce played is odd. What was XL supposed to do this Sunday as Canales literally took the pass out of the game virtually for almost the whole game.

I def thought it was weird for him to ask out of Carolina but looking at the way the season has gone, I get it. T-Mac probably ate his lunch in training camp and it was clear he wasn't going to get many snaps. Thielen would have probably made a bigger impact early in the year when Coker was hurt but now there's not really a spot for him barring injury. Could see him on the Chiefs or Chargers or something.
