Where Jones excels is in the zone. The big plays he has given up are when we were in man coverage.

And from reading the comments doesn't seem to many of you understand this. Man coverage is when Jones has been getting burned, not zone. So, putting Shaq or any other LB out there to man the slot will produce similar results.

This was what I was thinking as well.  I thought he had a pretty good game overall.

The weaknesses every team will pick on are AJ Klein, Roman Harper, Kurt Coleman, Tre Boston, and Colin Jones in man to man coverage.

Coleman has been an absolute beast this year. His leading the league in interceptions is no accident, he's been making plays all over the field. Even Panther hater Rodney Harrison said on Thanksgiving that Coleman was playing like the best safety in the league. Harper has been playing above expectations this year as well.

Kurt Coleman in the zone with the receiver in front of him... great. Kurt Coleman has let receivers get behind him, and has had trouble staying with them in man coverage. Same with Harper. As long as you have CBs and LBs who can go man to man with receivers, you can hide the deficiencies of the man coverage by the safeties.

There is a difference between man and zone. Cannot ignore one because they are great at the other.

I think you are making things up.

      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.
