I mean if you think being taller = less batted passes then you’re really mistaken. Big ass 6’6 Justin Herbert led the league in passes batted down last year with 24, second was 6’3 Joe Burrow with 23. Hell, Cam was 6’5-6’6 and he got hella balls batted down at the line, especially later in his career. 
 

It has much more to do with release point and finding throwing lanes than height. It’s ridiculous that literally one batted pass has led to 5 pages of conversation but I digress. 
 

Here are last years league leaders in batted passes. Lotta tall guys with a lot of batted balls, but hey what do I know.

No.... Stop with the facts!  It doesn't fit with my world view!

Clearly the Panthers need to cut their losses with Young now.  No point in waiting.  Fire Fitts for drafting a guy that may have been worth a 5th round pick as #1 overall.  Burn the Young jerseys that have been made, collect the ashes, put them in a barrel, and give it to NASA to ship into space.

Let's contact Dan McGuire to see if he has any sons that can throw a football.  Maybe they inherited his size.

Does that about cover it?

I'd rather have Will Levis, Anthony Richardson, or CJ Stroud. Young and Mayfield may end up being two peas in a pod of batted down passes.

Head over and be a Chargers supporter and enjoy your 6’6 QB leading the league in battered passes

Qbs with limited field vision and processing skills have problems with batted balls. I sure never remember Brees having that issue. Mayfield was a prime example. 

Are you saying that Young has a problem with batted balls?

Yeah Burrow and Herbert have limited field vision…

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
