Who impressed/who depressed (game 1)

IMPRESSED 

+ Jonathan Stewart - stat line is less than impressive but he wore down the 49ers defense late and picked up some valuable 1st downs. 

+ Michael Palardy - 51.7 average on 3 punts with a long of 58. We absolutely made the right decision to go with this young punter. 

+ Russell Shepard - After not doing anything in pre-season, looked like a playmaker and a very solid slot WR option for us.

+ Kawann Short - Absolutely destroyed the interior of the 9ers O-line and provided consistent pressure up the middle. 

DEPRESSED

+ Cam - It was expected Cam would be rusty but he looked awful in the 1st half. Give him credit for finishing 6/6 in the 2nd half. 

+ Run defense in the 1st quarter - Hyde started 4/40 yards before Panthers D made their adjustments.

I'd also add Kurt Coleman. He was laying the wood and cleaning up the mess from the few runs that they gashed us with.

Offensive line kept Cam alive, which is pretty impressive after watching last year.

Graham Gano goes to the impressed list too, considering he didn't miss any field goals or extra points.

Mike Shula/Ken Dorsey takes a spot in the depressed column for how long it takes to call plays in and causing wasted timeouts.

Slightly surprised Curtis Samuel didn't play on offense today. 

He played and I recall a third down he was wide open but Cam forced to Benji it went off his hands and we punted but his route running looked good he had big time separation something different for us lol.

The entire D looked rock solid (although it was against what is basically an expansion franchise in the 49ers). Luke looked great and was all over the place, Star and KK were disruptive up front and the ends were getting great pressure. Kurt Coleman also tackles like a grown ass man.

Offense looked slow and rusty, but I did like what I saw out of McCaffrey. The fumble isn't ideal, but the long third down run to keep the FG drive alive at the end of the first half was a big time play. 

Cam looked rusty. Time will tell, there.

I also really liked what I saw out of Russell Shepard

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
