Steven Ruiz who also works for the ringer, and is a panthers fan, is not a big fan of Bryce either. I appreciate them not being blinded by two good games and ignoring the horrific ones. Seems kinda important especially when dealing with the fifth year and possible extension. -
I mean, I certainly hope we can exploit it and it plays to our advantage, but this is the NFL, and a division rival. I still remember a few years back where the Saints lost all their active receivers going into our game. They elevated two or three guys to start from the practice squad and proceeded to whoop our ass with ease and those PS guys out up numbers. So, I like to see them banged up, but we definitely can’t mail it in. -
I have no problem waiting to see on Shedeur. My problem is the blowback at any suggestion of anyone other than Bryce when he and his stans have had us waiting for almost 3 full years for some semblance of average QB play. Bryce deserves nothing. He has earned nothing with his play. Far better QBs and players in the history of the NFL have lost their opportunity over far, far less. All this coddling and protecting is ridiculous. I don’t know if Shedeur will be great. I am confident he will be, at minimum, solid for the entirety of his career, and being a rookie, I believe he could be much more based off what he is showing. But, at the end of the day, if Shedeur ends up washing out? Cool. Doesn’t hurt my feelings. I’m basing my opinion off of what I see and what the stats say. Does he have some flaws? Sure. But (almost) every QB does. What he is doing as a rookie is damn impressive. In a handful of games as a rookie, he has made plays that we didn’t see from Bryce for almost two full seasons. I look at his deep throws the last few weeks, and I even heard someone recently comment on it with my same exact thoughts - he is throwing guys open. And on the deep throws, he is letting them catch it in stride. Then I look at stuff like changing of the arm angle, adjusting velocity and angle, etc., The last TD he threw that was contested, he was under immediate pressure and he changed his arm slot and layered the ball into the receiver to give him a chance to make a play. And then he’s hit guys in stride 50 yards downfield. The receivers didn’t have to wait for it, didn’t have to slow up, the throw didn’t allow the defender back in the play, it didn’t carry the receiver off his line. We didn’t see these things from Bryce until, imo, the games this year, in year three. That run last season, he was not making the throws he’s making this season in his good games. The deep throws against the Rams, imo, were his best placed throws of his career on deep balls. And that’s not immediacy bias, i also feel that way because these games count, unlike the end of season stretch last year. So again, it’s taken him three years to make throws that guys like Dart, Shedeur, and Shough are making as rookies. And yet, a huge faction of our fanbase believe Bryce should be held in some sort of reverence for being the worst starting QB in the league over the last three seasons. It’s insane. and again, to be clear, I want Bryce to figure it out finally, if it’s possible for him to do so. Put together a storybook run and let’s win the whole thing… but, due to your resume, we’re still gonna bring in competition next season. Period.
