Anybody else think we are putting to much on Bryce's plate?

Not at all. Everything we heard about the kid was that he’s basically a football god in terms of IQ. The coaches aren’t going to see him struggle with the playbook and protections and then be like “ we should add more while he is falling behind! “, they are only going to give him more once they feel he’s up for it. This is a very veteran coaching staff and you have to trust their years of doing this.

Not if he shows he can handle it.  I trust this coaching staff to bring him along at his speed.

What a refreshing thing to say about the Carolina Panthers.  Its been.....quite some time since coaching was an actual asset of this team.

I don’t think so.  We went out and aggressively signed a good RB, a good TE, 2 good WRs, and drafted another WR pretty high.  The team did a good job surrounding him with help.  The OL is already in good shape. 

I think the entire offense is being overrated that is around Bryce Young.  Not saying they are trash.  But it's a step back in a lot of ways from what we had around Sam freaking Darnold. 

Miles Sanders is a pretty good RB.  A massive step back from CMC.  Miles Sanders belongs in a committee IMO.  He was a pretty good runner behind a great OL.  But some of his more advanced stats seem to show a lot of his success was because of the OL.  He didn't make a ton happen on his own. 

and whoever we want to claim is our #1 WR is a massive step back from DJ Moore IMO.  

I do like the OL and the way it is progressing.  Which frankly mattes the most.  But the skill position talent is weak for a rookie QB if you are hoping for real success this year.

The staff is setup nicely for a guy like BY.  Reich is a former QB and spent many years in the league as has McCown.  Caldwell is another huge asset that has been around the block.  Add Dalton's perspective to the mix and you have a very good foundation for a QB that resembles a sponge in terms of studying the nuances of the position and offense.  These guys will have a good barometer of how much is too much.  Again, not saying this will be an instant dynasty and he will likely have his share of growing pains, but there is no reason not to be optimistic about the future.

Reich and his guys would know if they were putting too much on him. They know they have too much at stake to break him before he even steps on the field. They can't screw this up. Bryce keeps showing the staff he is the guy they hoped to be drafting. Until that changes, there is no need to do anything different.

you already forgot him lol. 

you mean, Hayden Hurst?  I mean, he is a fine TE upgrade.  That's what you want to do, get better.  But we sucked at TE.   We now have an average starting TE.  I'm fine w/ the TE add.  I feel we should of added more at TE to bring that group up though.  Still think we whiffed in the TE heavy draft and should of snagged the UGA freak show.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
