Ok, I did, and it happened, and that’s one of many ridiculous positions that have made it difficult to have real discussions here. Again, that was a point among several that I pointed out, and there are more that I didn’t point out. You are latching onto it because it’s ridiculous. And that was also the point.

I’m pretty capable of judging that. If you think we’re all so dumb then no point in talking to us. Everybody is just so over our heads saying silly things for fun and we’re internet autists I guess.

Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.

Yeah, like they tried to close the door but it didn’t latch because Bryce Young’s huge balls were stuck in it. Now the fire department has shown up with the jaws of life to see if they can open the door and save the balls.

Yes I know you see me as handsome, charming, witty, and intelligent, but that’s not what this is about.

There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.

We were bad for years before Bryce Young and it wasn’t like this. I didn’t like the Rhule hire, but I didn’t drag the board down every chance I got. I didn’t like letting Cam go and bringing in Teddy, but I didn’t make it my mission in life to make sure everybody who disagreed with me was berated into submission.

Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

Every round him begging the opposing fan base to out vote us and then basically abandoning the project at the end was hilarious.

I set up an auto clicker lol. Those were good times.

If the Ravens are dumb enough to fire Harbaugh, we should fire Canales immediately and hire him.

I remember how beloved the cardiac cats were when they leaned on the run game and seemed like every win was on the final drive and we were all holding our breath. Too bad that’s not good enough for some of you. I’d take it.

The offense is always adjusting. There’s plenty of options for Evero to get our top corner on the top WR, he just doesn’t use them.

Remember last year when he had Fuller on Ceedee Lamb all game? If he wasn’t so bad in all other games too I’d call this guy a Dallas plant.

Zone with corners in man is totally a thing though.

There’s no way. Where he caught the ball was like 5 yards ahead of where he ended up lateraling and he appeared to be trying to get upfield initially. I don’t care if his mama was calling for the ball, just hold on and go to the ground dude.

No other explanation possible. Sorry, but we’re gonna have to ask you to take one for the team in the future.

I mean you said Bryce being good was a win for him as if it’s not a win for you as a Panthers fan. Why wouldn’t you want Bryce Young to be good? Also, basically every loss this season the huddle is flooded with told you so posts and dead threading from people trying to dunk on pro Bryce Young takes so this is kind of a weird take from that perspective.

Like it or not, the quickest path to a franchise QB for the Panthers is if Bryce Young becomes one. Shouldn’t that be what you want?

Bryce being good should be a win for all Panthers fans…

To get in field goal range?

I mean just wow Legette. Mind numbingly stupid play.
