I hope all these QBs succeed a little bit less than Bryce does, But I hope they do succeed. The NFL is more fun when it has good QBs playing at high levels.

I don’t. I want all the other teams to suck lol

Lol you’re projecting your own insecurities. I am not defensive about anything just having fun with this.  I don’t care if someone criticizes or makes fun of our players. It’s par for the course 

No worries at all, snowflake! I don’t even like Levis and think he’ll need some sort of huge revelation to become a good starter.

Also, no insecurities here, just replying my observation of some of the folks in here that take their support of players a wee bit too seriously. I mean some of the posts about CMC saying he enjoyed being in SF instead of playing for Rhule after all his buddies (Cam, Olsen, Luke, TD…) we’re gone turned into the offense was much better when he left, which amazingly enough was incorrect. I’m all in on Young and the coaches.

I was never on the we're better without CMC bandwagon and I still want him to have a HOF career even in SF.  I don't even mind his comments about culture and organization, it is what it is.  To me it was more of him being in a better situation than saying anything negative about Carolina.

There may be things that are sillier than proclaiming a player to be a sure fire draft bust or ready for their Hall of Fame bust based on early mini camp practices, but there aren't all that many.

Nobody has a clue how good (or bad) any of these rookies are going to be. Hell, you still might not when this season finishes.

That is true, but being able to speculate is half the fun.  I could be wrong, but I don't know that I've ever felt more confident about a QB being a bust like I am with Will Levis.

Honestly, I think he'll be the next Ben Roethlisberger. He's got the build and a similar game. Same kind of love 'em or hate 'em vibe, too.

I don’t see his game being similar, maybe Jay Cutler at best.

I don’t think he has the mentality to be a good QB.  He will fold under pressure and make bad decisions

Wait till they throw a bad pass in the first quarter of their first preseason game. Then you can predict their entire career trajectory 🙄

You mean like with Matt Corral behind a third string line and with third string wideouts? Lol

They said  Big Ben was a meathead, too and couldn't move up from college and make it. Somehow the big lunk did. (And I still think he's a meathead.)

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
