The PP has looked horrible since Svechnikov was pulled and out on line two and then it took an even bigger hit losing Ghost. Svechnikov is the best player on the team on puck retrieval and keeping a line going. That first line needs some grit and it doesn't have any to me.

Maybe I can reverse jinx Svechnikov and get him going. So I'm gonna go with Jackson Blake.

There's 6 QBs in the NFL averaging 250+ yards a game this season. One is a backup. The NFL is swinging back to a run first league where QB's get yards off play action passing

His biggest strength at QB is deep throws outside the numbers to the boundary. Deep in NFL terms is over 20 yards. It's why I joked earlier in the season that all you had to do was run a zone focused on the flat and deep boundary and you take away most of his throws. I posted this earlier in the thread. "Carolina is no longer forcing him into a box as a quick-game distributor, which could be the weakest part of Young’s game and the one most affected by his height; instead, Canales is setting him up for more downfield throws aimed outside the numbers. Young has the touch, timing, and accuracy to pull those throws off." Those deep boundary throws is what he's excelled at since becoming the starter again.

65-35 split and play to their strengths. Not alternate drives since that outs your offense in a weird position.

Add on to this. That means I thought Bryce needed the same amount of time on the sidelines before starting because his mechanics needed fixing before being thrown on the field. Additionally if starting him, you need to be able to scheme him a throwing lane up the middle so the whole field is open to him when he drops back. The Panthers didn't fix his mechanics, they didn't have an offense set up to scheme him throws over the middle consistently and didn't draw off his biggest strength as a thrower which is numbers out to the boundary. None of the above even started happening til Canales got here and Bryce was benched. Throwing him on the field as a rookie in an offense that didn't fit his traits and skills set literally ruined what chance he had at being an NFL starting QB.

That's how the draft works, dunno what to tell you. QB has the lowest hit rate I'll use Bryce as an example. The scouting department that drafted him (one that is still largely the same now) thought he would excel in a quick strike offense when his size and ability to read a defense literally makes that the worst aspect of his game.

If you've paid attention I've said already multiple times that he isn't a starting NFL QB. I said this before the draft, I had him rated third at QB. I had him rated behind AR, who I said would need a year or two on the bench before starting.

I'm literally telling you that is in fact how it works. You don't compare players to starters when only like 10% of drafted players develop into long term starters. You compare them to every rostered player at their position. Their skills, traits, athleticism is based off of that. Do they have above average athleticism for their position, well their position includes backups and starters.

Even with all of this, he's not a long term starting QB. Which I said prior to the draft. You've got to scheme his throws over the middle open by creating lanes for him to see the field. So his best throws are to the boundary outside the numbers. That's where he excels largely. For his size to throw over the middle, he's got to trust the play and the receiver to be where they are supposed to be. That leaves a large part of the field he's not going to see or naturally want to throw the ball to without the line breaking down or being schemed to have an open lane to see the middle of the field.

Air yards. It's from where he throws the ball at, which is the 50 yard line and Thielen catches it at the goal line. But yes that's one of them.

That literally what a draft profile is, it compares a player to the players at his position, not just starters. So no it's not crazy because that's how it freaking works. Lol

I told you where to look, there's a long highlight video that's easy to find where there's a 50 yard air throw to Thielen and multiple 20+ yard air throws. I just shared a small clip that featured under pressure throws.

Nope, worst part of his game is quick reads and throws. "Carolina is no longer forcing him into a box as a quick-game distributor, which could be the weakest part of Young’s game and the one most affected by his height; instead, Canales is setting him up for more downfield throws aimed outside the numbers. Young has the touch, timing, and accuracy to pull those throws off."

Well I mean we are talking about someone who showed up wildly out of shape in OTA. Lol

Every throw was also under pressure and was over 20 yards.

No that's not what average means, you're thinking of just starting QB's. There's around 80 QB's in the NFL. Average means exactly what it would mean anywhere else in the world.

Mind you that I said not to draft Bryce and I had him rated third at QB in said draft. I've also routinely been for benching him and moving on for the last two years as well.

There's 15 minutes of highlights from the end of last season just hanging out there. You're a Panthers fan... I assumed you watched and had seen those already. https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/k6uUqTCf1m

His arm is average, his footwork is shot from being a rookie and it hasn't been consistent since then and it wasn't great when he was drafted but it's gotten worse and more inconsistent since being drafted. Alabama with him behind center ran a deep shot play action system that routinely asked him to complete 50 yard throws and go down field. When he doesn't bounce around in the pocket and uses proper footwork and lower body mechanics he can throw down field. Even now if you checked his scouting sheet, it would say the same thing about his arm that his draft profile showed. Scouting report for the draft. Played in a pro-style attack that required full-field reads. Has a tendency to run receivers up against the boundary. Leaves his lower half behind on drive throws at times. Needs to prove he can find reads quickly and stay on schedule. Deep throws come out flat and lose energy late. It would show the same things now as it did then, he's just more inconsistent with his lower half on throws.

From Alabama when using proper footwork. 59 air yards on a dime.

Never said he was the guy, just that his arm strength is average to slightly below average which is true. His footwork is horrible.

I'll do both good and bad. Good Plays very well off schedule can make plays happen with his feet when needed Pretty good out of pocket on throws when he remembers his feet Meh Average athleticism Average to below average arm talent Bad Size / frame Footwork and mechanics (this is really his biggest flaw that's fixable)

Yes average or slightly below average, his biggest problem is his footwork. He doesn't use proper footwork all the time. When he does he can throw the ball 55-60 yards air yards and do it accurately. It's just he hardly ever uses proper footwork and lower body mechanics so it's not seen very often.

Just run the ball for 250 yards on 40 carries.
