I mean... Yes. Not like we're replacing Bryce with someone that is known for their arm strength

This is where I see the value in trying though. Say you are a CB or and you play the WR the same way, but then he doesn’t stop and gets behind you. They aren’t free to assume an incompletion even though it is the likely result. They have to respect it.

No NFL D is trying to take the deep ball away from a QB with one career 30+ yard pass to a TE.

I hear you lol.

No, he would be comically bad. He has 1 completion in his entire career that came his rookie year (per next gen)......all the other ones are incompletions. I didn't count them all up. But he never lands them and technically and never had to a WR

So you admit it. He's an effective deep ball thrower beyond 30 yards.

Everything is AI nowadays. Ask ChatGPT if Bryce Young is the Panthers franchise QB!

I think he just means down slavin ghost and miller and losing carrier and Robinson Mia game. Having to play 3 rookies while the forwards are double shifting and playing sell out defense. I watched a team with heart absolutely sucking wind and out of gas. But they hung on. Full roster, yea we win that by 2-3.

Chicks dig deep ball

The first image in my head when Bryce comes up is that almost immediate bail out and getting some depth to do the running start so he can heave it down the field. Seen a couple or few nice throws from the pocket where he slides and then steps into it but that isn’t his preferred way to go. I don’t think.

per next gen stats (they are missing a couple though), I can only find 1 completion by Bryce Young 30+ yards down field in his career. He has incompletions. 2023 - week 10 vs the Bears. Pistol. Playaction. I mean, he was in "the in pocket" but there was no real pocket formed to play out of. Must-See: Bryce Young slings 45-yard dime on the money to Mike Strachan Going through next gen, that's the one 30+ pass in his career they have.

It isn’t the same for the QB. Super over protective it looks like. The side of me that says him playing with no injury excuses is crucial to the goal of honestly evaluating him, accepts it.

Greg has not yet reached media shot caller status so he still has to toe the line, especially when indirectly calling out powerful people.

He showed guts in the Bears game at least.

You just compared Bryce to Tom Brady kind of….

I saw the signs late 2022 even when he wasn’t tearing it up. He was close. All that upheaval and regression we have suffered was unnecessary.

Their current QB situation means they may not even make it to the playoffs, so... And he definitely has been. But he's at least young enough I'll give him some time

I don’t understand what they’re doing. Our approach to injuries is weird now.

we really could have just kept Darnold and actually built a line around him and gave him some playmakers. People forget how good he was playing here until CMC got hurt

I was the Mike in my legendary HS football career so have the bias from that. Joking about the legendary I appreciated all those guys. Luke was the ultimate example to me of MLB as QB. Not the only one ever but we got to see it every week with him and he was so good at it. I have listened to the radio broadcast the last couple of weeks and he is great as an analyst. Knows how to dissect the offensive plays and what they did or tried to do. Sees it, knows it. He instantly sees it. I was unaware but really was impressed with him there.

I think at a minimum the Panthers have a very broad definition of high ankle sprain that is beyond the classic NFL high ankle sprain of the past.

I wonder how many of Bryce's deep balls, let's say those 30 air yards or more, come from inside the pocket vs when he's scrambling. That would probably tell a whole lot about game planning. My hunch is most are scrambling, because holding those passing lanes open is hard and he already has trouble seeing the field over taller linemen. I suspect we probably don't have as many designed deep ball plays simply because we can't run them effectively due to the simple nature of pocket mechanics and maintaining field vision. Again, just my hunch.

That sucks

Even before Luke we had John Beason & Dan Morgan. Beason (1st team All-Pro in 2008) was so good at his position prior to his injury that Luke had to began his Panther career as an OLB. Sam Mills wasn't a classic MLB due to the 3-4 scheme we played under Capers in the 90's, but even then he was a formidable force on the inside. When you see how much of an impact the ILBs have had on our teams during the Richardson era, it's quite shocking that we haven't placed more emphasis on that position in recent years.

If he plays this week then I highly doubt he suffered a high ankle sprain. I think he sits at least this week. The Panthers are trying to appear coy, but I don't think there's any chance he plays. What's the end game here if he does? The greatest trick the devil ever played was Bryce Young wasn't actually injured? Okay?
