  1. 30th in passer rating too. Yet it is creating a virtual knock down drag out fight here to suggest he does not look like a #1 overall pick and has much work to do. If people want to live a fantasy that he's actually doing well then stay off the internet.
  2. They are more the exception to the rule I'd say. The Steelers as much as I despise them and their bandwagon transplant fans here have a track record of success because the right people make the big decisions. The Tepper's are one trainwreck to the next and shouldn't be in charge of a lemonade stand.
  3. The misogyny zingers are laughable. Nicole Tepper is to David Tepper what Jerry Richardson's sons were to him here. Zero qualifications and have no business in the front office. Even that curmudgeon realized it was a bad decision and kicked his boys out of the picture. Says a lot about Tepper.
  4. I don't think he has a noodle arm but he does definitely look small and lacks physicality out there the other top 2 QB's have shown in this league. You simply cannot deny that unless you are engaging in self deception. It's up to Bryce to make defensive coordinators and defensive backs believe he can and will beat them deep. Nobody cares about college anymore.
  5. I've acknowledged there are multiple problems. Bryce Young however is at the center of those problems. He's got to adjust and play differently and the coaching staff has to put him in that position. But until proven otherwise defenses are simply not going to be scared of his arm. I don't like it. It's really depressing. But that's the rub.
  6. Myself and most others did indeed immediately accept him as our QB. That doesn't mean we signed a contract saying we must always be 100% positive and never critical. I think you have an unhealthy infatuation with the guy the same as you did with Cam buddy. But unfortunately unlike Cam Bryce has shown very few flashes of anything to warrant a first overall pick. You simply do not like anyone pointing out difficult to accept realities to you. I think you need your own community where only your approved thoughts are allowed.
  7. What cases are you speaking of? That his supporting cast and oline are not performing up to standards and our coaching staff has certainly not lived up to the hype? Absolutely all true. But this offense still looked capable on the road in Seattle with all these circumstances with a 35 year old quarterback. Many things on this team need to improve. Our #1 pick is one of them too. And he needs to start having some success downfield or defenses will continue to tee off on him. Here on the huddle we can erase the bad and live in a bubble. Bryce Young cannot do that out in the real world where defensive coordinators have all the film they need. Unless he and we adjust it will be more of the same.
  8. I don't get why current and former Panthers think this is the move. Yes some of the reaction is over the top because it's the internet. But the track record under this ownership speaks loudly. Like megaphone loud. The criticism has been earned and then some. Mocking your fans is only going to accelerate the decline.
  9. I don't think anyone here hates Bryce save for one or two people on the extreme end of the spectrum. If you are so dug in on your position because he was your favorite prospect and you don't want to be wrong that you are manufacturing enemies because they are acknowledging his rookie season is going poorly it is probably a sign you should unplug some.
  10. I vaguely remember the interview I think she in not so many words said they all wanted him to play on the west coast. I don't understand the loyalty some folks still have to McCaffrey. It's kinda fishy after he was perpetually banged up his last few seasons here as the highest paid back in the league all the sudden he's like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable. I mean good for him but he didnt win poo for us so I hope the 49ers get bulldozed in the playoffs again.
  11. I switched browsers to chrome and the video worked fine so anyone having issues should try that approach.
  12. As much as it is absolutely fair to question the level of culpability James Campen has in this it's also fair to say Scott Fitterer has had going on 3 years now to assemble an offensive line and it's gone poorly every time. We need big changes.
  13. At the end of the day this staff is cheeks but I think we should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time and also note that these failed players Fitterer has traded for just aren't that good. Shenault has value in the run game but virtually nothing as a receiver. Which is why he was available.
  14. He was actually pro Bryce leading up to the draft. I'd rather converse with someone willing to acknowledge reality even if it means they were wrong over someone who spams posts about Andy Dalton scoring garbage touchdowns while hoping our #1 pick looks good against perceived lesser competition.
  15. Ironically even watching Bryce Young's proday had some people saying the same things we are saying 6 months later while others still try to deny the obvious because reality hurts.
  16. After 4 games we need a bona-fide All-Pro WR for our elite super processor point guard quarterback? Life comes at you fast.
  17. Yet for the most part we were able to keep up with the Seahawks in Seattle with 35 year old Dalton and they just blew out the Giants in NY. Keep living the fantasy.
  18. I would prefer this. But none of it will matter if Fitterer is still here. Hire a consultant to search for our next GM. Scott isn't the guy.
  19. I hope he's miserable he created this mess live with the results. Even we fire Reich and make Evero interim this season we are going to be lucky to find any decent up and coming offensive coordinator who would want to work in this environment. The only way we can change course is if he hires a consultant and allows real football people to fix this mess.
  20. Of course. He went all in on Bryce Young what else does anyone think he is going to say? Anyone can be wrong about a pick even former players. There's still a lot of football left though.
  21. I think we are applying different personal definitions to the term swagger. I am strictly speaking on the field I am aware Bryce Young has a different personality. But to me swagger on the field is being confident in your abilities and your energy feeds into your teammates. There are different reasons for his struggles but Bryce Young is going to have to find that confidence in himself. Even if he turns the ball over forcing passes at least fire off. Show opposing defenses that you will test them. We have almost none of that. Is it all Young? I don't think so. But he does exhibit a tendency to be timid at times out there. If I and other Panthers fans can see it opposing defensive coordinators and players can too. He's going to have to show some kind of spark soon or teams will keep playing him the same way because they have no fear of his arm.
