Not sure who all saw this in the OTAs thread, but this story just impressed the hell out of me as had all the things i've been hearing about him...especially the word "poise" i keep hearing/seeing said about him in all aspects. 

the kid is as impressive as you could want anyone to be so far.

During the Panthers OTAs, Young has displayed remarkable composure and decision-making skills that have caught the attention of his teammates and coaches alike.

Fowler noted that “Poise” is a word commonly associated with Young when discussing his performance in Carolina. Regardless of the situation, Young maintains a calm demeanor and never appears rushed on the field.

His actions exude a sense of smoothness and control, making him a standout player during OTAs.

Fowler further elaborated on Young’s performance, highlighting his accuracy and precision in throwing intermediate and deep balls. Whether it be during practice sessions or facing a defense, Young has consistently delivered accurate passes, placing them in the perfect spots, even in tight spaces.

His ability to find the right windows and fit the ball into small gaps demonstrates his impressive understanding of the game and his exceptional arm talent.

Adding intrigue to Young’s journey, Fowler shared an intriguing anecdote about the pre-draft process. Prior to the 2023 draft, the Panthers did not provide Young with a playbook in advance, as they had not disclosed their intention to select him as the 1st overall pick.

However, rather than waiting for official instructions, Young took it upon himself to delve into the tendencies of Panthers head coach Frank Reich. He researched the offensive strategies employed by Reich in his past coaching roles, ensuring that he was well-prepared and knowledgeable about the team’s potential playbook.

This proactive approach demonstrated Young’s commitment to his craft and his desire to be fully prepared for any scenario.

Young’s dedication to understanding the Panthers’ offensive schemes before even officially joining the team showcases his work ethic and football intelligence. It further solidifies the belief that he possesses the intangible qualities necessary to excel at the professional level.

GO PANTHERS  

If we get above .500, I am good. That is a big success for where we are in this transition. If we finish a game or two under .500, not a big deal. 

Now 10+ wins? Look out.

Damn, that's impressive.

Kid's definitely got the mental side of things under control. If he can even be just half decent in the physical realm, he could have a really long and successful career.

I'd add the word "poise" is what I always used to hear they were looking for during the swimsuit portion of the Miss Whatever pageants. When guys watch those though, I don't really think too many of them turn to each other and say "Man, she's got some nice poise" 😕

what I thought early on when i really started paying attention to him is that he's the QB version, at least mentally, of Luke Kuechly.

He doesn't just know intimately his offense and what they are supposed to be doing at any given moment within a play, he also knows intimately his opponents and where they are supposed to be at any at any given moment within a play. that makes it easy for him to anticipate, work around, and manipulate defenders.

yeah, college is easier than pros, but which QBs coming out of college, even among successful ones, have had this kind of reputation?

the guy is mentally on another level.

It's a great comparison.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
