Either cut Ickey or move him, this is outright embarrassing

Horn and Ickey are looking like cataclysmic busts, Fitterer has to go. His drafts are trash.

This line is so bad

Ickey is a massive liability, what a phenomenal bust

Oh no

Bryce actually had a 97.4 PFF rating in the 4th quarter!

Jensen literally got a 0 in pass blocking

Even if it was, you’d expect a good QB to play well against a bad secondary, and he did. Fourth quarter was nearly flawless and that’s not normal against any secondary.

It’s not just that. He seems way more confident even under pressure. He’s making plays with his feet and tough throws on the move. This is the sort of stuff he did at Alabama and has shown flashes of in the handful of good moments in the first half of the season. The biggest thing for me? He’s not playing scared down. He’s confident as hell. It’s not easy to win from behind but he’s done it twice already and almost three times.

Time to get excited about this QB? Because I am, finally.

I’d support going back to a 4-3. We’ve had a ton of success with it over the years and frankly there was never a need to abandon it.

It’s the best game I’ve seen from a Panthers QB since 2018.

313 yards. 60%+ completion. 2 TDs, no turnovers, game was only lost because of a poor defensive performance and officiating. After that first quarter Bryce was routinely making tight throws in places only the receivers could get them. When under pressure, he didn’t cave and often improvised for impressive results. This is what I’ve wanted to for all year. We’ve seen flashes in a few other games, but this is the first time Young has absolutely wowed me. Here’s to many more!

312 yards, 2 TDs, no turnovers, and plenty of “wow” throws. What I’ve wanted to see all year!

Bryce is having a game but so is Chark

I don’t care if the defense is bad. This is exactly what a good quarterback should be doing against bad defenses.

What a throw and catch!

This is the Bryce I’ve wanted to see all year

This is by far the best game Bryce has had all year.

They’re daring Bryce to throw

We’re not asking him to make anything other than basic throws everyone else in the NFL can make at this point.

Cam as president, Olsen as OC, Kuechly as GM I’ve seen worse ideas I guess?

A billion dollars

Incorrect. Let's look at the positions: 2002 - Julius Peppers (2nd overall) 2003 - Jordan Gross (8th overall) 2004 - Chris Gamble (28th overall) 2005 - Thomas Davis (14th overall) 2006 - DeAngelo Williams (27th overall) 2007 - Jon Beason (25th overall) 2008 - Jonathan Stewart (13th overall), Jeff Otah (19th overall) 2011 - Cam Newton (1st overall) 2012 - Luke Kuechly (9th overall) 2017 - DJ Moore (24th overall) 2018 - Brian Burns (16th overall) 2019 - Derrick Brown (7th overall) First, let's discount 2001 as his fault. Of these picks here, I can say 2 were positions that were entirely his fault (2011 and 2012). That being said, draft position doesn't matter as much as draft acumen. Hurney only had 5 picks in the top ten; he had as many in the bottom 10, and all of those (Gamble, Williams, Beason, and Moore) were slam-dunks. Like look, you can like or dislike Hurney. But there's probably no GM in NFL history who has ever, as consistently as he did, selected first-round picks that, at worst (with the exception of Otah), proved to be league leaders and franchise staples. When one of your weaker picks is Jon Beason - a guy who was undisputedly the best linebacker in the league for three seasons before a very unfortunate injury) - you know you did a good job. Over 12 picks he selected one bust (Otah), three Hall of Famers or borderline Hall of Famers (Peppers, Newton, Kuechly), six Pro Bowlers or All-Pros (Gross, Davis, Williams, Beason, Stewart, Burns), one who will be a Pro Bowler (Moore), and two others that should be/have been Pro Bowlers (Gamble and Brown). He was more likely to pick a Hall of Fame than a bust, and that one bust was entirely due to injury and was great when he played. That is absurdly good.
