No, it's that there are a lot of us who think we're winning in spite of Bryce and that he is not, and can not, succeed at a high level in this league. The reason we're becoming more vocal the last month or so is because we see the writing on the wall, and that the team's success in spite of him is going to get his 5th year extension picked up and brought as our starter despite his actual play not being worthy of either. But I KNOW there are many Panthers fans who want to see Bryce succeed so badly that they are completely blind to the glaringly obvious issues he has and have wet dreams over mediocre games. I'm sorry, but I'm just so sick of people making comments like this. It's so asinine to think the anti Bryce crowd is willing to spend as much time as they do watching the games, following the team, talking on here or other places online, spend our money on team gear, etc, but because we don't think a player is good enough to be our long term QB and give specific and legitimate reasons why, that we want to see the Panthers tank. It's just such nonsense I will fully give him credit that he's improved in certain areas, particularly turnovers. But small improvements in some areas don't make up for his severe limitations and issues in other critical aspects. Saying these things doesn't mean we want the Panthers to fail, it just means we have objective opinions and aren't afraid to voice them, even if unpopular with a segment of our fan base. -
On a side note the goal posts are moving. At one point this year we were looking at that Arizona game's last drive and wanting him to show us he can finish when a team is no longer in prevent and when he didn't people were claiming he was unable to. Then he does it against Miami, Dallas, GB, ATL, and LAR and that conversation shifts to his team carried him and GWDs are dumb. Next we have the YPA and can't throw deep. Now the YPA is creeping close to some other players like Baker, it's higher than Nix (I'll acknowledge it's still on the lower side) but it shifts to "oh it's all because of YAC" (like none of the other QBs get YAC), and my personal favorite "if you take away his 3 deep passes (he only threw the ball 20 times with a YPA over 10), his passes were all short." I hope people realize most screen plays are called by the coach and not a QB checking out of some risky deep pass. If we dialed up several screens (and they worked) that's more of a DC thing that a QB thing. If they work you screen all day long. The Rams did it a lot against us too. He played a good game last Sunday. He played a bad game the Sunday before. To me he has shown he CAN play at a high level, but he needs to show consistency. I also realize we gave up a ton to draft him and the expectations are very high, but at this point those are all sunk costs. He just needs to show he can be a franchise QB. -
I am not sure I know how to figure out how that applies to drops. And the point was probably supposed to be that players don’t seem to be critiqued even handedly. And definitely not a criticism against McMillan, I think he is doing a fine job for a rookie in the offensive ecosystem he finds himself in. I do see the flaws with Legette, some people just have it in for him and won’t cut him any slack whatsoever. I pointed out the drop numbers to illustrate a telling statistic. That apparently it’s okay with people for Tet to drop balls but not Legette the problem child. That’s all. Players we hate. With me it was Zavala year one, I just wanted him gone. I was pretty disappointed in Wallace year one. I haven’t come to love Zavala but have eased up on Wallace. Bryce I definitely never wanted. I seem to be easing up on him every other week. Which is better than he used to do but still not up to the consistency standards expected. slack
