Never in my life did I expect to be so thrilled that Andy Dalton was going to be starting at QB for the Panthers. LOL

Good. The rest of the roster and the staff and scouts and rest of the front office deserve an opportunity more fairly have their work evaluated. Bryce wasn't allowing for it.

I resorted to cope once it became obvious we were drafting him. If you followed the conversation I was very clearly against the drafting of Bryce based on concerns about his physical talent.

Will it piss off Tepper? Well then good.

Our offense certainly looked drastically different the one game he played last year.

Blaine Gabbert sucks as a starter but he is a better NFL QB than Bryce Young. Based on what I've seen out of Bryce I honestly don't know if there's a single QB on an active NFL roster that I wouldn't take over him. He's THAT bad.

When we picked Cam in 2011 a lot of the media talking heads were trying to hype up Blaine Gabbert #1. Like c'mon... really?

Bryce is different because it's very rare for a high pick to flip because he simply looks like he physically doesn't belong on an NFL field. Top picks usually have the physical tools. Their failure usually comes down to not being able to mentally process well enough or being too cocky to put in the work or off the field stuff or whatever but it is very rarely because they prove to be physically grossly overmatched. That stuff is actually fairly easy to see on the college tape. Bryce honestly should've been a mid round pick. I said leading up to the draft that he looked like a 3rd or 4th round type pick where someone would roll the dice on a really good college player that probably won't translate in the off chance that he does.

I disagree. We still wouldn't be a good team but we'd be moving the ball and scoring points. It'd probably look a lot like Cam's rookie season when we generally scored enough points to compete but the D would find a way to give up just a few more.

Good game. Low scoring but felt more like good D than bad O. The pass rush was eating all night on both sides.

Caleb Williams is not going to make it very many weeks taking these hits.

Oh good lord, Caleb Williams just got fuging MURKED.

Damn, Odunze ran through that DB's hit like he didn't even exist.

Don't do this. LOL Wait until you compare Stroud's passing chart tonight to Bryce's today.

Alright Caleb, let's see it.

Defenses are adapting. It's all about pass rush now.

Five 50+ yard FGs made tonight. Crazy. 50 yarders were coin flips just a few years ago. Now you're expecting them to be made.

No one with other equivalent options is coming to work for this guy.

Okay, there's the flag.

How is that NOT grounding? He's standing in the pocket and just sling it in the stands.

Caleb Williams has to quit it with these hospital balls. He's gonna get somebody killed. That looked like targeting live but replay shows clean hit.

He's considerably worse than I expected. I thought he was gonna be one of those good backup/marginal starter types. Best case scenario I thought you were looking at like a Kirk Cousins type ceiling. But he honestly just flat out doesn't look NFL caliber.

He doesn't have the physical talent. I tried to tell y'all this leading up to the draft. The college tape didn't translate to the NFL.

Yes. He had 2900 yards and 17 TDs the year prior. No one was talking about him as a top pick in mid-September last year.
