Well compared to last year... they are indeed obscene numbers.

Yeah I figured it out. I don't think you're a bad guy anymore. I think it's just your choice of words that irk me a little. You don't know how to talk to people in a respectful way. I don't think it's intentional. It's cool. I still appreciate you brother. Keep pounding!

Yeah, I don't expect that. Exaggeration for effect.

Yo. I'm diggin Canales right now. I was afraid they'd try to turn him into some kind of pocket passer (which he is not). While Canales and his staff have been working to lower Young's throwing time, the quarterback's physicality and aptitude to make off schedule plays is something they're reminding him he's more than capable of, even at the NFL level. As such, those scramble plays, like the one to Marshall Jr., are ones that Canales wants to see more and more out of Young. "We love emphasizing scrambles whether it comes up in seven-on-seven or any other drill right there," Canales said. "The thought that I have in my mind is always, there are great plays out there. There's explosives that can happen on the second part of the play. "While I would like to see the ball come out in time in those situations, sometimes we get a win on a rush. Sometimes things happen and all of a sudden you got to go to the second play."

Cool. Let's see then. What if he's on track for that by midseason? Would you acknowledge he's good? Would you, dare I say, root for Bryce for the rest of the season? Let's go baby! I knew you had it in you.

some folk will find fault in everything Bryce does. If he passes for 4000 yards and 30 TDs, it'll be because of all they invested to help him - even though this is really still a below average roster. It is what it is.

Bro!!! When a linemen gets the ball, it's the best part of the game. Oline, Dline, doesn't matter. Big men showing that footwork is fire!

Oh and he was gonna hop step juke #76 if Freeman wasn't being all johnny hustle. He wouldn't let Shy be great (er)!

I don't know about shutdown. But you bet not run no screens to his side! Oooo Weee Man!

Shy is him!!!

True, but I always considered that a team accomplishment more than an individual one. But he did go undefeated to the Super Bowl with Moss, along with his only 50 TD passes too.

Respect. I only mentioned Brady because he is widely accepted as the GOAT. And if the GOAT's best season was with a HOF-type WR, then your supporting cast matters, or it wouldn't have mattered.

So if he sucked at out routes, then shouldn't he be testing limits with out routes in practice? Or should he just accept that he'll never throw out routes in the NFL? I didn't think he was particularly great at anything either, but to say he was almost picked on every single out route I thought was some real hyperbole. A DT getting an interception is rare. Occasionally happens in games, but thinking Bryce was pushing the limits to throw one in practice. Admittedly, I haven't seen a clip of it so I don't know what happened. Could have been a ball tipped 30 ft in the air for all I know.

Or how could you go wrong with a WR from LSU?

Bro, I think all but maybe 1 "Bryce stan" feels the same way. Objectivity is usually the best approach. Usually.

Yeah, you're just making that up. It's ok. I understand your pain. And I'm sure a DT didn't intercept an out route. If so, what the heck is a DT doing in the flats?! That's a diabolical defensive playcall!

Okay. So how does it help you as a fan to point out every single deficiency of one player - with almost no context? I didn't say Bryce did anything to show he was a franchise QB. I actually have never posted that. And there are probably a lot less of those across the board than your memory is creating. I call the good plays when they're good. I call the bad plays when they're bad. I point out good protection and tough catches when they happen. I point out crappy protection and drops when they happen. I point out bad play designs when they happen. I point out great play calls when they happen. I point out a lack of deep passes attempted by the QB. I point out the receiver's culpability when bad things happen too. I guess I consider my approach to the team and QB an objectively optimistic one. Optimistic because that's my personality type. Objective because well I guess personality type too. It's just a lot more fun to cheer for the Panthers to me, than to cheer against them. That's all. Maybe you're the opposite. And that's ok. Just don't agree that you should try to convince me that your approach is better than mine. I just remember playing football and never thinking this team sucks only because of the QB or vice versa. To me, a QB's success is only as good as his supporting cast. I mean Tom Brady had his best season ever with Randy Moss. If it didn't matter, then it wouldn't have been his best season.

Do you factor in the dropped passes? some for TDs? some that would have put them in the RZ? Do you factor the lack of protection resulting in sacks? Do you factor in the drive killing penalties from the oline? Not to mention the changes at playcallers and coaching? Not defending just saying there were A LOT of extenuating circumstances. I think the entire offense gets a mulligan. Bryce, Ickey, Mingo, etc. Should have a much better understanding of what's going on by week 4.

I'd hate it if Damien Lewis and Diontae Johnson are out this week. That's half of the major offseason acquisitions on offense. Hunt and XL are the others I guess. Hopefully someone steps up to the challenge. Maybe a rookie TE? Maybe a 2nd year QB? Maybe a RB with a chip? Let's go!

Man I don't know. I do know that the back and forth bickering and general negativity about EVERYTHING is getting old. Not sure why we can't all just cheer for the team. If you don't want to cheer FOR the team, then just get another team so you can cheer AGAINST them. I guess that's how I look at it. But I'm getting too old to judge folk. Committed too many unsavory acts in my time to do that.

I could be wrong frank, but it really kinda comes off that you just want to be vindicated in your early assessments. I didn't want to draft a QB last year at all, if they had to move up to do it. But, I can also objectively observe a situation. At the end of the day, we're all Panthers fans. We have been for a long time. Teams go through slumps. Players have bad games. Players have good games. FOs do dumb stuff all the time. Enjoy the ride. You only get one 2024 football season for your favorite team. Don't approach it looking for the negative. Cause you'll ALWAYS find it. ALWAYS.

okie dokie. agree that Bryce should take more deep shots though. I think he's been trying that more in practice too. I think Canales is good for him and the rest of the team. Seems to be a different approach thus far.

Wait... No bueno, again?

Agree that everyone could benefit from preseason games. I think that's an opportunity to apply what you've learned in practice before it acually counting against you. Not necessarily where you try new things. Just my opinion though.

Right? And when/where is he supposed to correct it? Practice. Right?
