Well Shough is 3-3 on a team and replaced a QB what I had considered a QB comparable to Bryce that was 1-7 with the same team and coaching staff.
Between Shough and Young I know which one I’d take, despite some clutch Bryce stuff that has popped up this year. The overall game is just better. More. I feel like Shough can make every throw Bryce can and a bunch that he can’t make, will see the field better, has adequate mobility - enough to call it an asset. Will run a better play action game because he can turn his back and not lose his perception of where his targets and defenders are. Can do a sneak. Throw a Hail Mary. All that pro NFL QB stuff.
I don’t know where you can say Bryce would beat him out head to head except for possible intangible qualities. Which are hard to quantify.
But he isn’t rookie of the year with 9 games played. Or 8 whatever it will be.
PS when you ridicule me as not a Panthers fan, I will be rooting for Good Bryce to show up the next two weeks. Same as if Cam was there or Kyle Allen or PJ or whoever.
