I believe he lost snaps earlier in the season because we were getting gashed to his side on run plays. Coordinators for other teams picked up on it and he became a liability. I agree he finally flashed on a few plays. I hope thats a good sign for the work he has been putting in.

They literally dared Bryce to win the game but most of the Bryce lovers don’t want to have that convo. He played okay today considering his physical limitations.

I’m pretty sure he isn’t referring to outliers. Lamar is the most athletic QB in history, Top 1% athleticism. I get his point, about the ideal QB being 6’3 or taller. Kind of funny how billion dollar QB needy organizations refuse to look at QB’s they just don’t like. Org’s rather flounder than be flexible. Lamar, Shedur….etc Both QB’s we could make the argument we could have had. Shedur would have been a distraction to finally see if Bryce was worth the draft spot (and Bryce emphatically isn’t) but we would have a low capital investment for 2026. Allowing us to invest resources in the defense (Sonny Styles etc..)

Nothing worse than a billionaire with an ego. It’s the ego that refuses to allow himself to be wrong

Do you realize Matt Stafford was the MVP front runner with 30 touchdown passes and only 2 interceptions before our defense got to him? Not perfect indeed, but this year no team has done it better

Honestly after a game like last week I don’t mind showing BY deficiencies. We still have people that believe in Bryce. I would like it painfully clear we need some new talent in the building so we the fans do not waste 4 more years with the belief Young is the answer

100% agree. Tons of former NFL examples of how receivers can be divas and ruin team culture. There are to many receivers in the league to go after potential damaged goods. Besides we have higher priority needs and our receiver room seems to be developing nicely.

That’s not entirely XL’s fault. With Ladd being thrown to by Bryce it might have been 45 ypg for McConkey. Bryce has thrown for less than 200 yards in 5 straight games. XL vaulted on the scene being a down the field jump ball threat that could catch slants and take it to the house. Bryce is good at neither of those things. Bryce doesn’t throw it to the middle of the field unless things break down ( he can’t see) and you already know about his noodle arm. I don’t think XL will ever be a star but I think he will find a role in some one’s offense due to his athleticism.

I disagree on half of your assessment. If Bryce cant throw down field and their game plan was to stop the run and be aggressive with the short intermediate throws that’s on Bryce. What’s left for Canales to do? Per the press conference the calls are being made. Bryce is either scared to throw them or he isn’t capable of making the throws. For a 3rd year QB neither is good.

Receivers arent wide open because Bryce cant throw the ball further than 20 yards down field, The field is condensed. The secondary can throw 9 in the box or be really aggressive because there isn’t a threat of a post route. That’s not a Canales issue that’s a Bryce thing, He’s smart but he’s physically limited. Glad you are finally seeing it.

Bryce is not better than Stroud. While Tepper has made Fitterer and Morgan invest endless resources in the offense to protect his billionaire pride Houston has made countless dumb decisions to hurt their QB’s development. Stroud has won 2 division championships. His top 2 receivers have missed significant time. Houston traded away their pro bowl left tackle after last season. Who does that to a 3rd year QB? As I type this Stroud is in the concussion protocol for the 2nd time due to their GM’s inept decision making Now Panther fans take snap shots of statistics and try to say Bryce is better in the last 14 to 16 games. If you watch them play it’s clear which QB will be starting in the NFL for the foreseeable future.

Hey bro you gotta admit that was funny.

I’m not a fan of Bryce either but I truly believe Tepper has a hand in the QB situation. There is no way a former pro bowl linebacker with a history of front office training with the Seahawks and Bills front office doesn’t understand the need for depth and competition

Thinking Bryce is top 20 is pretty delusional, but you won’t win a Super Bowl in Carolina with the 20th best QB. Our GM isn’t capable of loading a roster like Philly. Not with Tepper as the owner. It’s time to start over at QB

In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.

CeeDee Lamb got hurt in week 3. The Cowboys were rolling without him. Not sure what you meant by this. Our defense was the 1st to slow the Cowboys down some. Statistically before the game the Cowboys were ranked in the top 3 of the league.

Mainly because Bryce does not throw the ball well down the field. I think he has a niche, but probably not with Bryce. He’s going to have to find little holes in the zone to be successful with BY

Yeah that 48 points hung was because of the defense. Wentz was more a game manager last week. TJ Hockenson hasn't done much this season either. I watched that game and the Vikings suffocated the Bengals. The defense caused 5 turnovers, one being a pick 6. I was speaking to the macrocosm not the anomaly from last week. We agree on AT’s age.

35 with a rookie QB that came from a run 1st offense in college. I’m not surprised.

Lol Bryce wasn’t ready and he still isn’t. His footwork is atrocious. If we go Sellers I would expect this organization to bring in a viable veteran or let Bryce ride out his 4th season without the 5th year option. Either way it’s time. I do not want to derail the thread entirely. I completely agree with the OP, and the posts in this thread. I am hopeful we can get our generational leader in the 2nd round since linebacker value has decreased. Three intelligent dawgs in Arvell Reese, Perkins and Weeks.

Definitely. You hit it on the head. Think about the talented pieces we had on our roster before we allowed Chicago to r@pe us. Frankie Luvu, Chinn, Burns, DJ Moore plus wherever our 1st & 2nd round picks would have landed in 2024 and 25. We could have picked from the talented QB class in the 2024 draft. Daniels, Maye, Penix and Nix have already outplayed Bryce. We just needed to practice patience and prudence. Nope not this team.

Are you responding from a Bryce Young family member burner account? Think about what we gave up for the rights to draft Bryce? Panthers could have drafted CJ Stroud, if we had a competent front office. Not only that that we lost the number 1 overall pick last season (potentially Jayden Daniels) AND the loss of DJ Moore. The last 4 seasons we have invested our 1st round picks on offensive players. While the defense sucks the investment still doesn’t come close to the resources put in the offense. We just scored 10 points against the 4 win Jaguars with the youngest coach in the league.

So sad but true. I was amazed how he got up from that duck ball and big hit.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, but I also see it from the player angle too. Dan probably feels like it breaks the brotherhood code as a former player to completely roast a current young player. It hurts Bryce’s ability with future teams and his possible future outlook. The Panthers can be done, but don’t send him to the grave without the chance of a reclamation project.

Sheeesh laying out like that reminds me of how dumb and quickly Tepper torpedoed this franchise.
