Well, then that’s on the Panther PR machine. All I got is Bryce with a horrible answer to a question. Taking his word. And if I recall, it was the Panthers media that put that Bryce interview/question out there to begin with. That was really our first back to Bryce piece. And maybe it was just that. A bad answer that didn’t paint a good picture.

Well just side tracking to fantasy football. Richardson had the 2nd most points per drop back only behind Josh Allen until he got injured. So I’ll probably draft him as my QB2 lol

Well, because Bryce didn’t just say I didn’t throw with my WRs. Bryce made the point of having nothing to do with football overall. Then went in about being a loner and being alone. So it’s more than just not working out with his teammates. It’s a lost offseason to build leadership and being the dude. CJ Stroud is checking multiple boxes with his actions. Based on what Bryce said….its a 180 from what you generally would like to see and hear. .

Well, there is PR to everything, but big picture that’s what he was supposed to be doing. And the Panther PR itself IMO is what largely is being attacked of late. It rubs folks the wrong way at this point given what a joke the org is presently. So I think with some there is bit of a distinction at times there. When so much of what they have presented has consistently been bologna. Was Bryce catching some of that? Maybe. But he was doing what was expected this time last year.

I mean, the Madden kid showed up to do a spot. Yes. There is also footage of everyone working out inside the facility that day then everyone going outside and doing a legit workout. All that went down before Sketch came by at the end of the day to mess around. Which is why his coaches talk about the workout sessions and not frame as the clip my kid cares about that got filmed at one point, and Stroud was everywhere this offseason. Too much of him in all honesty online. Interacting with his teammates. Talking football with anyone he can. Breaking down football. Breaking down film. That’s not being away from football. Bryce’s response on top of not wanting anything to do with the game…turned me off because of the isolation talk. It’s why I refer to him as an Eli Manning type in terms of the leadership he likely is going to bring. Which isn’t what I prefer from my QB 1. It’s why I say he doesn’t check the textbook boxes. But the Giants got 2 rings with it so there is that. But Eli was also heavy criticized for that because it isn’t the norm at that spot.

Yeah, I don’t recall the folks actually coming for Bryce Young last offseason for being with his teammates. I think that’s a little revisionist. and the Texans are the ones who have talked about Stroud working and throwing with his teammates and being with them. He clearly didn’t unplug from football. He was all over everything this offseason doing nothing but talking football and sports. He definitely wasn’t unplugged and embracing being a loner. You want to take stance all he has actually done this offseason football related was a Sketch social media video but otherwise had nothing to do with football? Well, I guess I’ll accept that challenge.

CJ Stroud literally eats and breaths sports 24/7. every player rightfully takes time off. Luke Kuechly took time off. I mean, CJ literally said he was going to take some time off right after his playoff loss. Sure. That doesn’t equate to unplugging from all football for 5 months. We know he hasn’t been alone. We know he has been with his teammates. The Texans themselves have commented on workouts with his teammates. not sure why we are trying to pretend like Bryce is the norm. He doesn’t have to be. He clearly isn’t in many aspects.

Julian Edelman literally traveled around the country so that he could make any throw sessions Brady would have in the offseason. He wanted to even be able to catch the quicker and impromptu ones. CJ Stroud has been with his WRs all offseason doing stuff and holding throwing sessions. I mean, the norm is the norm. Bryce talking about being a loner and unplugging all offseason from football just isn't what you typically hear and see from elite NFL QBs.

team boasts about fixing the interior OL same team doesn't have an actual NFL C on the roster Seems about right.

I mean, Tepper has found a way to make us not only the worst NFL team but the worst team in all of professional sports. I don't think Bryce Young is the actual mistake. The mistake is what Tepper puts together. Bryce was going to need a unique and innovative offense. With talent to highlight what he does well. Do that, and he could potentially be a great QB. And they have clearly never had a vision to do that. Just inserting him into bland offenses he doesn't fit....with talent weak in key areas he would play the most to. I still go back to Cam. He was OROY because we made a Cam centric O and had skill talent that played to his strengths. In another spot, that just tried to plug him into what a coach liked and did....he could of been a disaster as a rookie. Drastically different QBs, but share a uniqueness IMO that you have to acknowledge. Where you go, has as much to do with your success in the NFL as anything else. That's what the players say at least.

Luke Kuechly went fishing. Cam Newton traveled. Tom Brady went to fancy events. Bryce Young's answer remains...a bad one. It's not what you would consider the "norm" answer for someone in his position. Simple as that. Look at his most comparable peer. What was CJ Stroud doing? He was organizing throwing sessions and team building with his WRs. Two QBs clearly wired different. Both went to bad teams. Two drastically different results thus far. Bryce Young just doesn't display so much of the textbook stuff you are looking from your "franchise QB". Especially one a team mortgaged their future on.

my grandma does morning workouts.

not to mention his literal job is to be an entertainer. we are the audience. he chooses that.

I think fans want the #1 overall pick, who had a rough first year that some exposed issues......to not take his first offseason completely off of football. and while Luke is an outlier. I think Bryce's first NFL offseason given what he is.....probably makes him a bit of one too. Because I don't think his offseason, is a very common approach by those that have been in his shoes.

Luke Kuechly didn't even have a TV his first 4 years in the league. I mean, it was a bad answer by Bryce Young coming off the season he had. Not the end of the world. I think it's fair to say that wasn't a good answer given who and what he is. He didn't just say he watched a little Netflix. He said he had nothing to do with football all offseason. Hard to imagine, Cam, Luke and a host of other Panther greats...intentionally having nothing to do with football early in their career or after a bad year all offseason.

too many smart people in football these days. The old school try and stop what you know is coming approach just isn't going to work (minus having just an absurd roster where the talent levels are just out of whack). You got to be innovative on offense. NFL defenses in this era will feast on the predictable.

I'm just going off of what exists. and all the offenses he has been apart of have shared some very similar traits. Going back to Seattle. Which doesn't seem to play to Bryce Young's strength. Run the ball and then chuck it deep to the outside. That's what Canales has always been part of. And his first investment, was a WR who does that. I'm not saying Canales shouldn't do anything. I'm just saying, no one has ever described that as Bryce Young's game. That's not why we drafted him.

He had another 40+ XP against GB. Eddie the last 2 years is 51/55 under 50 yards for Carolina. That's pretty reliable FG kicker. While being 7/9 from 50+ . I mean, he isn't Justin Tucker. BUT....his FG% is also #3 all time presently behind only Tucker and Butker. It is what it is and he is trying to leverage that against the worst team in the NFL. He isn't a JAG kicker at this point in time.

Shows 3 last year. One of those was a 40+ yard XP. end of the day, he has been a solid kicker the last 2 years. K hasn’t been a weakness

I mean, assistant HC Duce was most definitely a hard nosed yeller. He style was shown on Hard Knocks.

I mean, the league average is to be shotgun heavy. some teams trend toward the 70-80% range. With short yardage, goaline and kneel downs bringing them down. KC, Phiily, Ravens? A lot of the really good teams are very shotgun heavy

he tip toes and drifts deep to see over the 6'6 monsters in front of him. I mean, if you put him under C and put him at the same depth you would Joe Flacco on throws.....I don't think that is going to yield good results. Bryce despite his size, actually plays the middle of the field well. But he has to play quirky to pull it off.

he missed 1 FG under 50 all season last year. he missed 2 FG under 50 the year prior and made most of his 50+ both seasons I think Pinero is just wanting off the worst team in the NFL. Competitive teams are looking for a reliable kicker. Seems like he is just playing that card.

I just don't see how you can effectively do that with him given his size limitations. I mean, sure here and there. But Bryce Young is a shotgun QB.
