MNF against the Saints in week 2?

That would be surprising for the league to do, no interesting storylines between two teams that don't have much of a national following, have a hard time believing that one.

most likely to give Bryce young a primetime game to show what he got as the number one overall pick

That's fair, but if that's the case, there are so many better matchups they could have done that would help draw in more viewers.  As on the surface, even with the #1 pick in the game, Panthers-Saints Week 2 seems about as uninspiring of a national interest in a matchup as possible.

Texans would have the picks 1-2 storyline, Colts would have Reich against his old team and maybe AR-Bryce, Bears would be DJ and the team that traded the #1 pick, Jags would be the two most recent #1 pick QBs, Dolphins would have two former Alabama QB's against each other, and Cowboys are the Cowboys, hell, either Bucs game would bring in the Baker storyline too.

All would be way more interesting matchups for MNF if they were looking to get Bryce that spotlight.

That part makes sense to do with the latest #1 pick, it's them doing it in Week 2 against the Saints that seems odd to me, that early in the season, the only storyline is that we're division rivals.

They will probably make the Colts game later in the season for better chances that AR is the starter by then and had more time to develop since he needs the most development out of the top 3 QBs.

Good IMO. Young should be good to go and they will be able to minimally prepare to face him in our offense.

 

That's another way of looking at it I guess

I'm still afraid of Bijan running for 300 yards in his debut against a newly formed 3-4 defense in their literal first game played together.

      Young nominated again...

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'd be very interested in seeing someone point me to a post saying any Panthers fans are unhappy with winning? We're happy the team is winning, but we're still unhappy with Bryce's play ON THE WHOLE. Yes, we recognize he's had a handful of good games, but even in them, he's still not making the type of plays/throws that high level QB's make, at least not on a consistent basis, one or two of those throws every few weeks does not make him a high level QB. Many of us are also able to look at what we see in front of us on the field and extrapolate that out to the future, and we don't see Bryce's play as a way for sustainable success.  If he was anyone else other than our own #1 overall draft pick, say if he was a mid rounder now in his 3rd season here or if he was a FA we picked up at some point, the same fans bowing down to him right now would be calling for him to be replaced and saying he was holding back the team.

      I was going to add those types of throws as acceptable. I just didn't want to type all that out. In both cases it takes qb control to complete and are rare throws and completions. You may not see 1 an entire game. Most passes require adjustment due either to coverage or a rushed throw.

      So....What Do We Do About Legette?

      Not 2 seasons in on a guy who everyone knew needed time to round out. Maybe he will, maybe he won't, yet want everyone to have the patience of a saint for Bryce. You all are funny. Kibitzing, huh? Am i breaking up your circlefest or something?
