Hopefully some more of that focus carries over into the real games this season.  Love the guy, but we heard all through rookie camp, OTAs, and training camp how he hadn't dropped a single pass yet in any practice.

He had a great rookie season, but damn it could've been so much better.  Crazy to think that he could've been in the 90+ reception, 1400-1500 yards, 14-15 TD range if not for the drop problems and other lapses of concentration.  He's got the potential to be a monster.

Someone on here broke down the number of drops and gave each one his average yard per reception and his yardage gain was minimal. Keep in mind, that was even with ZERO drops, not just the average number of drops for a WR.

I was going to say...ain't no way he dropped 400-500 yards worth.

​He dropped like 100+ yards worth in that week 17 Falcons game alone.  The very first target he was streaking behind the defense in what would've likely been a 70+ yard TD from an absolutely perfectly placed ball from Cam that hit him right in the hands and bounced off.  Right after that he dropped another one that was probably good for around 10-20 yards.  I know there was at least one more in that one as well.

I understand the logic of just looking at his recorded drops and then multiplying it by his AVG, but that's really not an exact science.  A lot of his drops were potential huge plays.

My original post might have been a bit of hyperbole, but not by much.  I would almost be willing to bet he left at the very least 300 yards on the field last season.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
