He looked better on the second drive. His jumping around on the first drive made me nervous. Seemed a bit panicked at times.

It could just be me, but it seemed like he was just focusing on one side of the field on each play. I guess that is one way to help his decision making.

Mixed bag for me. Some good. Some bad. He was inches away from having 2 turnovers. Looked panicked under pressure. 
 

He throws a very tight ball though. You can see the arm talent. The touchdown pass to Robby was a big league throw. He got better after the first quarter. Seemed liked the nerves left  and he just settled in.

Encouraged. The OL blocked a lot better for him after the first two possessions and you could see him settle in. Gonna rewatch the game later to check out his footwork and how he worked thru his progressions, but so far so good

 

My one knock is he's gotta take that sack on the one play he was being spun and tried to fling it. That's leads to disaster the majority of the time

Encouraged but you can tell he has nerves and happy feet to work through. He also hesitates some of his throws like he has to double check to make sure someone is open before he throws it. I think he could be good when he gets settled though.

I think he’s gonna have a couple games where emotions are high and he gets pressure in his face and he’ll throw some picks. How he responds to that will say everything. 
 

I wouldn’t mind keeping PJ and Grier this year just in case he completely crumbles. I don’t want that to happen but if it does Walker has shown he can keep us competitive and we can answer some questions finally with Grier .

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By cranky · Posted

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.

      At the end of the day we're all holding our breath in anticipation waiting to see if Bryce Young will look and play horribly to begin his fourth season just as he has in his first three seasons. No cherry picking obscure metrics or screaming about haters will change that.
