Why are they even passing the ball anyway? Oh, that's why. The QB is a runner too.

Not gonna lie. I thought that was a STUPID pick at the time. But you're right.

There you are.

Uh SpecialJuan, is that you?

Maybe. But I think Canales is gonna prove to be the better choice than Reich. Carter and Darnold keeps Reich here a little longer.

Bryce is ok right now. If you're gonna throw a pick, throw it early. None of those late game picks. Those are game crushers. That and pick 6s anytime.

Defense is looking... legit

O line is MUCH better than last season! But honestly think Bryce has avoided at least 3 sacks that really should have been sacks. He ain't fast. But he's elusive as heck.

Or maybe... The worst run defense against the best run offense. Plus a bunch of other TEAM stats that make this look like a bad match up for Carolina. Maybe.

He might get 300. He really could.

Top target this off season should be any receiver that can catch the ball consistently and make guys miss in space. I'm tired of watching other games where WRs catch the ball less than 10 yards downfield and then turn it into 50 yards gains. Big plays aren't always bomb passes 50+ yards deep in the NFL. Long runs and YAC are necessary to stack numbers and wins. It doesn't have to be McClaurin or Saquon level, but dang. Adam Thielen is the Panthers' most exciting offensive weapon ya'll. He's a possession guy on every other team, meaning the 3rd or 4th option. Speed scares DBs alot more than strong arms.

This was his best shot of being the #1 guy. He ain't doing that anywhere else. This was his best shot of putting up the numbers he needed to get paid. If Thielen could come here and get 100 and 1000 with a bad Bryce, then he should have too.

Wouldn't surprise me if Raiders didn't go QB with their first. O'Connell is actually pretty good now that he's been given a chance. They could shake up the top 5.

My man really just dropped the bag. Couldn't cut the crap for 6 months so you could secure generational wealth for you and your family. What a shame.

Well damn!

Yep. Either would immediately upgrade the receiver room and step in as the #1 option. Regarding XL, I don't think he'll ever be a true #1, where he's by far the best receiver on the team and draws a lot of attention from the defense. If you have 2 of him? That may work. If he's your best receiver, you're gonna leave a lot on the field.

He doesn't have elite arm strength but he does have good arm strength with elite arm flexibility. Mahomes is the only freak with both. Bryce is dropping some nice passes from less than ideal arm angles. And plenty of zip when he wants to. I do think he's still figuring out when to put some mustard on it and when to leave some room for error for his receivers. That's more timing and chemistry in my opinion.

It was never that Bryce had a weak arm. He just didn't take enough deep shots. And again, he was overthrowing guys. Not underthrowing them. Sure, a little more arc on the ball would have helped his receivers, but we don't have a real deep threat receiver. The closest was Chark last year but his hands were iffy at best. Timing was more of the reason for those misses than lack of arm strength. And that's mostly due to the room for error throwing deep to guys that aren't deep threat receivers. Mingo, TMJ, Thielen and Coker are not deep threat receivers. That doesn't mean they'll never catch a ball 30+ yards downfield. But it'll take a little more to get it done with them. Legette could be. But his hands are holding him back right now - like Chark.

We can't downplay the lack of a big play WR. Legette and Coker seem like solid players though inconsistent. Really need a guy to stretch the field and/or make defenders miss in the open field. Panthers don't really have that right now.

I'm thinking the same. A lot want to go all defense in the draft. That's okay if they bring in a vet #1 WR. Right now, it looks like David Moore is the best reliable target on the team. Let that sink in. Not exactly a good situation for another rookie QB. The oline is just ok at pass pro, so if they do bring in a rookie he better be able to run. That's the only way I can see him having success here right now. When is Sellers eligible again?

I agree but that's not what I'm seeing. Lacks ideal is not the same as can't do it because.

Bryce Young has not been good as a pro for most of his career. He's been downright horrible at times. Hopefully he's figured things out and is turning a corner as a pro. But come on with the exaggerations. #1 recruit in his high school class. 2-years starter at Alabama where he won a national championship and the Heisman. Consensus #1 pick in the NFL draft. But the Huddle has decided his physical limitations prevent him from being an NFL caliber QB. Make it make sense y'all. It's best for Carolina if Bryce Young works out and becomes the franchise QB they thought he would be when he was drafted. You can support him without 100% believing he's the guy.

Didn't Teddy have DJ Moore, CMC, Chris Samuels and Robbie Anderson in that game? Just saying.

This is him feeling confident and making the team his. No going back now. Those stinker games won't be tolerated.

And... a surefire HOF QB.
