Philly Brown


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

He's just not that good.  He surprised last year simply by making the team and making a contribution, but our WR corps was trash overall and he had 21 catches for less than 300 yards.  Not sure why everyone wanted to rush to crown his ass after that.  Anytime you get anything out of a UDFA, you have to count yourself as fortunate, but it seemed like everyone wanted to pencil him in as our starting slot WR for the next decade.  Easy now...

 

reminds me of when Hurney was being scrutinized and everybody was going "hey! hurney's a draft guru! All these players are starting!"

-yea, they're starting in spite of the fact that they're terrible and shouldn't be on the field but there's nobody better to unseat them because Hurney is awful at managing a roster

So after reading all of these comments about Brown I think it should have been titled lets trash Philly because he sucks and has no place in the NFL. I have nothing to say either way until I see him playing actual games during the season. It's almost insane how easily people forget that Philly really didn't play a ton of games last season where he was a targeted receiver. He played PR/KR where we all know how that looked and had a couple of injuries which caused him to miss some games as well. I don't think it would be fair to compare his stats to someone that's played in this position all season and targeted 60 percent of time. Clearly he has some work to do and I'm sure he knows it and it it needs to be done fast.  At this point because  I am not a Coach or anyone of importance on how things will work out with this group. I will just sit back a be a fan. Same goes for Bersin just let them play and let the coaches decide.

A month ago it was about last season, and I think the consensus was that he looked pretty good, all things considered. Now it's about 'what have you done lately?', and lately he hasn't looked very good. Feel free to wait to pass judgement until after some real games have been played, but don't expect that from everyone else. Some Huddlers are gonna do the 'cut him' thing after one bad performance, and that's just the way it is. Us fans don't like to see a receiver dropping passes.

Outlier.

 

Cam is not a QB to throw open guys, we don't run a WCO, and we haven't really had a big YAC guy on the team in some time.

 

You don't have to be in a wCo offense to throw open WR.. And I've seen Cam do it plenty of times...

Brown has Cam's cannon's coming his way now. He probably corrals those balls the best way he can. 

He didn't play with Cam in college where he did alot of Body catches... He also was catching the same way when DA was throwing to him...

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
