“I feel like I had a bad season. I have to do a better job staying healthy throughout the season. I think I slowed down. I have to do a better job, take care of my body. I had a lot of drops. I think I’m going to do a better job, just taking care of my body and staying focused.”

Glad to see he recognizes the need to keep working. He knows he missed some opportunities and wants to improve.

After breaking the franchise rookie receiving records and being in the OROY conversation it would be easy for him to rest of his laurels just cruise through the offseason. He makes it pretty clear here that he's going to continue to hone his skills and perfect his craft.

Hopefully he and Cam will spend some time together and further develop their chemistry.

I was immediately relieved, yet not surprised, to read this quote.

Kelvin was all business yesterday.

Missed him for the last few weeks but he's had a VERY LONG year (national championship, combine, private workouts, draft) so I'm not surprised he wore out. Very positive way to finish the season for him.

Now if this front office could kindly put another WR out there worth a damn that'd be great thanks!

hey KB, realistic Panthers fans realize you were a rookie.  We groan at your mistakes and celebrate your victories.  You just said exactly the right thing.  We ain't giving up on you.  Keep pounding, young man.

you know, sometimes it should be more about the prospect and the perspective than the f'in "I told you so".  I'm glad he's focused on improvement and that's exactly what he's saying.  And I'm glad he wants so much more.  

 

But, realistically, he provided so much more than realistic expectations would suggest, too.  In most years he'd be far and away the rookie of the year. Carolina's pushed some fairly great receivers through here and Kelvin's year was a mark that will be tremendously hard to beat.  I'm proud of him.  That's more important than internet retribution for any of you using this kid's career to keep score.

I think some of you are still drunk. He is a rookie! I said before the season if he can get around 700 yards I'd be satisfied. He exceeded every expectation I had for him this season. I'm not sure what someone has to do around here to make people happy. Maybe we've gotten spoiled after Cam and Luke's rookie years, however I think he had a better rookie year than Star, and we all were happy with his play. How many rookie WRs over then past ten years have y'all seen step in year one to the #1 role with very little help from the other WR position, and play as well as his did? Hopefully we get one more WR in this years draft, and Philly can keep developing.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
