He had a great game and I hope he continues to ball out all season. Our D-Line needs some credit too and they kept him free to make plays which is what they are supposed to do.

New Orleans has a good O-line so next week will be a telling tale of how his season will go.

Our run defense was on point most of the game.  We'll have to do that against New Orleans next week and get Winston to throw and make mistakes. Our DBs need to be ready for a lot more work next week.

It also is provably somewhat to do with not having Luke’s shadow over him. He’s able to fully take charge and be himself now. Not discrediting Luke or anything. Just saying he had really big shoes to fill last year. Now that it’s a little more removed he probably feels a little freer. 

Listen, I don't wanna get ahead of myself after one game, but...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

he looked like Luke Kuechly out there yesterday. That was DPOY caliber play. Straight up.

He looked like a starting MLB lol.

We've had such legit LB play over the years when we have a non all pro it looks odd.

He's always looked like a standard starting LB. That wasn't "standard starter" play yesterday.

Did the other guy even play I can't even recall him doing poo. Shaq musta just been like "imma play OLB and MLB both at the same time" yesterday.

Carter was third on the team in tackles with 5. But yeah, oddly I barely noticed him too. That's fine. He's a JAG. When you don't notice the JAG the JAG is doing his JAG job.

I defended him all last year. He spent so much time covering for frikkin' Tahir Whitehead and trying to get other guys into position that he didn't have much of an opportunity to even play his position.

Now, he's back on the trajectory that he had been on before. He played like a Panthers linebacker is supposed to play. He lived up to it and if he keeps the pressure on, he'll be rightfully among those greats.

Excellent play, excellent effort.

The number thing is so strange to me, but speaks to how important mindset is at that elite athlete level. Seemingly insignificant things can be the thing that pushes a player from good to great. Waiting to change to 7 out of respect for Grier makes more sense than pure gamesmanship on a rookie QB/HC. It was cool of him to wait.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
