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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
