Dude has gotten better every single week so far and just played a dominant game. This emergence from him at arguably the 2nd most important position in the league I think will be critical (along with a top pick for a QB) in selling our HC opening to top candidates. So fuging happy with this pick so far.

Always have to take PFF with a grain of salt but I had the (dis)pleasure of having the game broadcast in my area. Considering the 49ers defense, pass protection in my eyes was better than expected. Still needs work (Moton may not last much longer) but the trend is in the right direction.

And to think, we had people asking if he was a bust a few weeks ago.

Dummkopfs!

It was Matt’s college approach to getting him starers reps from day one. He just thought college style would work in all aspects of the job.

Now if only he had been taking the starting LT reps from day 1 of camp, he might have been where he is right now going into Week 1.

 

Dam to think he’d woulda been more seasoned then his now so glad we’ve ended Matt’s foolishness

I think folks think of immediate impact but it takes a while for these guys to translate the raw skills into nfl calibre players. 

I think this is extremely promising even though there will be ups and downs this season as he is still learning.  Five games in and I think he is well ahead of where he was expected.  Not sure how the other first round tackles look other than anecdotal comments but I think so far he is above everyone else.

    • Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.
    • It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter. 
    • The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
