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.

Very fair point re: when all 3 were playing at the same time. Quick count of weeks 1, 2, 12 - 15, 17, and 18 (AT out 4 - 10, XL out 14, Bryce out three as well (3, 4, 6), week 11 was a bye) actually came out to AT 51, XL 46 over that period. AT was definitely Bryce's most reliable WR, but it wasn't like the ball was being forced to Thielen at the expense of XL's development. EDIT: Got curious about Coker and the only game that AT + XL + Coker were on the field together were vs. DAL, @TB, and @ATL. Targets for those three games totaled out to for 19 for AT, 17 for XL, 15 for Coker. Those AT numbers are going to likely go predominantly to TMac

I thought he started to develop good chemistry with Coker over the last half of the season.

To put it in perspective, this is a deep ball thrower. Notice how the efficiency basically has minimal drop off regardless of range. This is Bryce Young The other QB is Joe Burrow.

It really isn't though If you were to go out to a bar every week of the season, even to just watch one batch of games, i.e. just the 1 pm or just the 4 pm, and spent only $30 a week, you're looking at $540 bucks, $510 if you're just going for the 17 weeks your team is playing, assuming no national games. Also, from past experience, it's hard to spend only 30 bucks if you're at a bar for 3+ hours to watch the game. Even just a small appetizer, a meal, and say 2 beers was going to run you $40ish, and that was back in 2019 when I used to go to BWW to watch all our games pre the Covid year when I just started finding streams and stuck with that until YouTube got the package from DirecTV. At $450 for a full season, to be able to watch every game, to be able to make your own quad box, to be able to switch between the sound for any game (at a bar in Michigan, I would never get to hear the commentary on our games)... It's really not a bad deal, and that's if you're only watching your team's games. If you're a fantasy football junkie like myself, then it's a flat out steal, as depending on your TV set up, you can get every game from your fantasy matchup playing. I do a projector with a quad box on it, a local game on the TV, and then if needed, I can put another game on my laptop and another on my phone.

He has looked worse than Bryce has looked on his worse days since entering the nfl, maybe he will do something for the panthers but trask or zappe woule have been preferred.

College Homer's are hilarious

Reporters almost never talk about guys struggling. It was all sunshine and rainbows about Bryce and that defense last year during camp. It’s just what they do. To me it was telling when the Renfrow mentions dropped significantly halfway through camp. I know some of his family so I’ll get the real story sooner or later. I know it was always his dream to play here, so I’d think he’d do it if he could.
