They've got a puncher's chance, which is a nice change of pace.

Man... definitely missing him on the field for the Panthers this season. That concussion Jewell suffered going sideways jacked up the LB room pretty bad.

DAWG

I wish I could gaslight myself into believing the same, but Eric Eager wasn't even mentioned until two posts before mine here on page five after the initial pivot to complain about Bryce on page one. Considering the views some of those involved have shared regarding PFF + Dan's involvement on Fitterer's team and... well... Regardless of all of that, Nic Scourton looked really good against the Dolphins. He was setting the edge well and even looked decent in coverage when required to drop back. He was destroying the right side of the Dolphins' OL and even got the best of the LT on several occasions. Seeing what Nic's doing on the field is likely what Evero was hoping DJJ could develop into when they took him. The team also isn't using him as much on special teams (hasn't logged a punt team snap since week 2 but is still part of the FG blocking unit). Completely different players and playstyles, but Scourton's motor and ability to remain constant while opposing OL start to gas out in the late game reminds me a lot of Charles Johnson.

......did it really take less than a page to turn a thread about Nic Scourton into whining about Bryce Young?

So amped for Coker to come back, even if it means less Tremayne.

For Thielen? It absolutely is. Which other seasons were better than 2017, 2018, and 2023 for AT?

Greg Olsen + Eric Collins GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT WE NEED

Having a top-3 season in his career at year 10 on the wrong side of 30 is impressive whether or not folks want to say it was the career year (but it'd certainly qualify as a career year imo).

2017 was even more impressive considering the Vikings had Case Keenum throwing to him for a majority of the season.

He hadn't gone for over 1000yds since 2018. 2017 + 2018 were his best two seasons but there's no question that 2023 was his third best season. Over 100 catches which he accomplished on less targets than when he had last done it. He also had his two highest catch % seasons with Carolina.

This x10000 Whether or not he ends up being "the guy" it's always good to see Panthers players having a good time and competing well enough to take the win. Can't wait for Princely to get mic'd up.

I wonder who's responsibility the free rusher was. JT thought it was on the RB due to TE + RG going hard left, but maybe it was an RPO?

Trigger Warning: Bryce Young

TMac was on the right side the entire game outside of one play. The other passing charts do not look like that. This was last week's: For anybody else interested in passing/rushing/receiving charts: https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/charts/player/bryce-young/YOU124763

There is quite literally the exact same video evidence presented to you during the offseason. Where is your compilation video? I'll wait.

5-wide out of the shotgun with 7sec left on the clock. There's enough time to either take a shot at the endzone or get it OOB. Jimmy Horn Jr is 1-on-1 on the boundary side with three safeties standing on the GL. 3-step drop and throw. At the time of the pass, JHj had the DB over top. Throwing for the endzone in that situation would be unbelievably stupid. The correct call based on the coverage and post snap action was to throw it away and kick the field goal. If folks want something to poo on Bryce over, the fumble was atrocious and inexcusable.

Speaking of WRs, XL was putting in work run blocking. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPe1VdUES6s/

@mav1234 Might take me a little bit to find the throws without pressure. To your earlier point, in my opinion his throws under pressure looked better more often than those without.

SIR EXCUSE ME, SIR MAY I HAVE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR UDFA WR, BRYCEN "THE MAIN" TREMAYNE? I have his HS picture here so that you can rest assured that he has always been him.

Not specific to college, but last season upon return from benching Bryce was pretty damn good throwing deep. There were compilations of all of his 20+ yard throws while under pressure and with no pressure (I'll find the links and tag you when I get in the school car line in ~1hr). This isn't to say that he's the best at it by any stretch or that he's even top-10 at it. However, he most definitely can throw the ball further than 20yds downfield accurately and there's more than enough evidence to show it. Is he going to be throwing fastballs or 70yd bombs like Cam? No, but he's shown plenty of times that he can get the ball out with the velocity and timing needed. There's also the fact that... well... the deep ball is not a play that is solely dependent on the QB. Protection needs to hold up, WRs need to have the speed to get by defenders or rack up YAC, and coaches need to call the deep shots. TMac currently has the highest YAC/R (4.7yds) which is #50 in the league. XL is dead last with 0.4yds and Renfrow makes the bottom 10 with 1.9yds. XL has speed, but he was out with a hammy the previous weeks. Good but not great is the best description for his arm imo. It isn't going to jump out and impress anyone, but it also isn't Jimmy Clausen who had a true noodle arm.

The same folks are going to outright lie in response to this despite the plethora of evidence (including video) that supports it. Best they might have is a random YouTuber that follows the Chargers and got beat up by a little person in a barfight.

I have a feeling that this thread is going to go in the same direction as PFF threads.
