I was gonna post this exact same screenshot lol. I made this entire thread as bait bc I kept seeing people bashing our quarterback and giving him no credit for making these ‘routine’ throws to ‘wide open’ receivers.

It was 4th and 3 with the game on the line and Bryce went for it all. I mean he threw McMillan open. All that space you see on the TV angle was created by the throw. I get he is frustrating and sucks a good portion of the time but the throws he made in those big moments today were tremendous.

vs Matt Stafford's actual wide open that sailed out of bounds:

The defender on the ball side of the WR with no safety help is the equivalent to a practice throw with no defender in terms of the throw itself, which is what I was saying.  That is a throw where the QB is supposed to just loft it for the WR to run under for the catch, as long as the QB doesn't choke and way short the ball, the DB has no bearing on that throw, just like a practice throw with no DB at all.

And the same goes for the T-Mac throw as well, no safety help with the defender on the ball side of T-Mac.  All he had to do was feather the ball over the top for T-Mac to run under.

Stafford missed that same throw to his TE earlier in the game. Lofted it right out of bounds. And he was actually wide open. TMac was far from wide open before the ball was released and the CB was in perfect position. The pass was in a place the CB didn't expect it to be for that pass.

Yeah, he can make some nice passes here and there. He's always been able to. Now we need to see him do it consistently and I still need to see him be able to handle pressure up the middle. That's Bryce's real Achilles heel. He can play well when he doesn't have pressure in his face and the field is clean in front of him. We already know this.

Come on LG... That's literally every QB in the NFL's Achilles heel. Brees and Brady too.

A hawking centerfielder is all we need imo, out secondary looks very very good IMO when you account for our bottom of the league pass rush win rate....   

I don't know. Still think they could upgrade the LB room. Standup and Edge types. 

They could really win out if Canales keeps his head on calling plays. They just beat the Rams without Jaycee, Moehrig or Rozeboom on defense. Running game is waking up and finally looking like what we thought it would be before the season started, with a great 1-2 punch running the ball. Bryce isn't focusing on TMac as much now with Coker getting back up to speed (he's really our best WR right now, but TMac has the higher ceiling). I think this opens everything up. If they can start taking some deep shots to Jimmy Horn, I think we'll start to see their best football. 

It's ok to say the player you don't like had a good game, but you still don't like him. Especially when he's breaking positive records for your favorite team and helping to win games.

Yall funny sometimes. Not funny haha, funny weird.

Do we pick up his 5th?

Nope

Yeah last night was just a bad look for Bryce. Had every chance in the world to show us... something. Nothing to do with physical limitations. Nothing to do with defenses having him figured out. It's just him being wildly inconsistent and playing too conservatively for today's NFL. I think Canales understands they could have won the game with Rico and Chuba, but he wanted/needed to see if Bryce could step up. He did not and this could really be the beginning of the end of his time in Carolina - at least as the unquestioned starter. 

Canales is calling too many conservative pass plays instead of just handing the ball to Rico

How was that not DPI? He was holding has arm down.

This secondary is on their a$$es!

Why are we throwing the ball the last three plays?

Makes no sense. Rico getting at least 5 yards a carry and then you stop giving it to him. And then you just take him out the game. Canales is blowing this game.

Way worse.

Horn had the tackle til Nick Scott came in and smashed his hand like an idiot.
