I think a huge % of pro athletes have weird brains. A team being like nah, we don't want you......is fuel all seem to use. plus, we really didn't even get that much for him. I would have been thankful though if I were CMC

What games featured a good 60 minutes of Bryce Young? I mean, if Bryce didn't come out after the half vs Atlanta let say because he was too hurt......he probably is benched without that 2nd half in Atlanta.

Again, Flacco is a better QB today than Bryce Young. Flacco old as dirt has been better each year. And Bryce isn’t “better” this year than other years

You want me to explain how Joe Flacco is present day still better than Bryce Young? Well, Joe Flacco and Bryce Young both played in the NFL from 2023-present day, so just looking at that window of play….Flacco has been better at almost every aspect of how we judge QB play during that window. Plus the eyeball test bonus. And we got Flacco rolling with 3 different teams to give a very diverse sample. Only Bryce Young’s mom and dad would argue Bryce has been better than ancient Flacco since being in the NFL (2023-present day).

That PFF math doing its thing. What does Vegas say

True, 12 man money league here….he is still sitting out there. Projected to have a worse fantasy day than Davis Mills, Tyrod Taylor, Mason Rudolph that join him on the waiver wire

It’s hard to argue he is unquestionably better than Fields or Rattler. Given the argument for Bryce can’t really be made statistically and they also play for bad teams that’s sort of his tier. Put him where you want to in that tier but the Rattler, Fields, tier is his

Maybe we beat the Saints? but if you acknowledge the weirdness Bryce has with Atlanta…..you sort of have to acknowledge the Saints have him figured out as well as anyone. He is horrific vs the Saints

Some teams employ multiple. Take the Bengals. Today, Burrow and Flacco are better. the burden here is really on the Bryce hypers.

Can’t be 20 better? Thats child’s play. Bryce Young is not in the top 20 today Only way you could invent an argument there aren’t is if you start talking contracts, age and basically future/building scenarios and start knocking guys with no real future off

Well, if Carolina wanted to trade him…..you start telling them where you would be willing to go. seems that’s how it went down. We wanted to deal him for the tank job (that failed)…..and he selected where he would go.

The defense has pulled that feat off this season though. Multiple times. offense has not had a single good first half all season. Only and good opening scripted drive paired with disappointing play. defense has been the actual unit you can measure real and consistent improvement IMO. Still holes and flaws to it that aren’t going away until new bodies get here but they really are the story of the season IMO

They got the #2 pass offense in the NFL and could jump to #1 any given Sunday at this point. They are playing at home. There passing strength also syncs up with our weakness on pass defense.

He isn't trainwreck Bryce vs Atlanta. Pretty sure he had a rushing TD though.

Debating taking the ole private jet for a spin out west and picking up Jeff Bezos, Roseanne Barr, and the guy that played Chunk in the Goonies to catch the game. Depends if they got a good luxury box available or not. If not, heck, I'll probably just catch it home on my couch while my wife complains about me watching it and my daughter asking why she can't watch a Christmas movie on the big TV.

He averaged 2.2 going into Atlanta. 3 shot attempts is the most consistent number that pops on his pass charts. 5 games w/ 3 attempts. His high was Miami with 4.

Nah, you are right. The 49ers are going to throw out all the film on the Panthers and design a unique gameplan purely off of one half of football vs the anomaly career Bryce Young opponent. Sell out to stop the pass.....and dare Rico Dowdle to beat them in light boxes. That makes way more sense.

the WR/TEs overperformed against a bad team. Especially after the half. I mean, if Bryce Young never came out after halftime, everyone would basically be ready to bench him for good. That wasn't a "confident" guy. First half was basically the textbook Bryce game. Scripted opening drive was good and a bunch of nothing. Bryce didn't throw any more deep balls than the week before vs the Saints. What changed this game is our WRs just got open and did a lot with the ball in their hands vs a bad team in the 2nd half. I mean, props to Bryce on wanting to stay in and rebounding some in this game. But largely the narrative is a random half of football is argued we should think something different now about him. Which makes no sense 2.5+ years into what is a very consistent QB in terms of what he is and isn't overall.

yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too). also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight. And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks. I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often.

nah, that's basically saying people can't call a spade a spade. Which is crazy. 89 is not a good dude. He might have done a couple good things but it will never erase what he has proven to be in front of the world. I tell my kid all the time not to view celebrity athletes as anything but people that play a sport well. Lot of garbage humans play on Sunday. And you have no clue who the good guys actually are. PR in today's world is also powerful. There was a window when Deshawn Watson checked every good guy box that could have ever existed from the public's perspective.

Bryce also averages close to about 100 more passing yards per game in a dome vs outside. I think this game will play out more like the Saints game, Packers game, etc in terms of what Bryce is able to do. What we need is for Rico to be able to find a whole in a crowded box maybe twice and gash them for big ones

Weight classes exist for a reason. I think the Panthers likely have had tons of players that could have handled 89…..but that would require them to be a certain type person and plus there is the entire org issue at hand. He was the star and dude organizationally. You can’t just deal with the problem child star any way you want. 89 had some built in protection systemically most likely. Very few dudes the org probably could have tolerated standing up to him….like you said Pep is one and probably Cam the other. and still think there is a long laundry list of in house 89 stuff we don’t know about. I doubt 89’s vague and short answer for we left is a good picture of that reality too. 89 happened to want to leave at exactly the same time his importance on the team didn’t allow a the team to excuse anything and everything from a guy. Cam and Luke were better players by then and better employees.

Sell out to stop the pass? Why in the world would they do that. one half of football vs Atlanta doesn’t rewrite how you play us.

The poo emoji is out now too lol

I feel bad for the over the top Bryce stans. Hell, let them have their one week. The mental gymnastics they have had to pull….(checks notes)…..for 10 straight weeks of football to finally get the random Atlanta game is tough for them.
