You could see how KB looked during the post game talk and I doubt it was because he is camera shy, i bet he knew he could have done better and I hope it doesn't get him too down and he gives it his all come playoffs. He is a rookie and still very much a young man. All he needs to do is work on those hands and always keeping focused like he has shown us when he catches balls no player let alone a rookie(not named OBJ)has any business catching, disappointment like these can only make him stronger! #Keep Pounding

Rookie or not, dropping passes excuses are officially worth nothing now. It's playoff time and he's being paid big money to catch passes and block DB'S..... but mostly JUST to catch passes.

 

EVERY PLAYER, including rookies, need to step up their play. Norwell has, Ealy has, Bene has, Trai has, tre has...... it's time for our first round pick to step his play up for playoffs. No execuses.

It takes a certain amount of refined skill and coordination to have good hands. Not everyone can just go out there develop good hands this late in their career. Sort of similar to ball-handling and shooting in basketball. 

 

This isn't no sure easy thing KB can fix. Sure he can improve no doubt, but its also possible he never really fixes his dropsie problem.

I said that KB was the right pick given where we ending up selecting.

 

As an FSU alum, I attended 3 of our home games in Tallahassee last year, and watched every FSU game on TV. There was a reason that he was not projected as a top 10 pick despite having a top 10 WR body and skill set.

 

He drops too many routine passes, and still yet, is not a WR that can dominate a football game like some of his rookie classmates. It is a constant of KB to drop simply passes and then make spectacular ones the next series or quarter. The problem is those drops are drive killers and CAN cause a QB to quickly lose confidence in him.

 

At the end of the day, he is a great WR for where he was selected and given the alternatives. 

 

But that doesn't mean that given that fact that he is the end all of our WR core, that 4 other rookie WRs this past year couldn't have achieve at least as good numbers in this offense.

 

He just needs to keep working, and the Panthers FO needs to get him some help to keep defenses from double teaming him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
