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

I just proved you're petty enough to keep score on interwebz debates.

 

Have you even convinced one person that Miles ain't it yet? I'll wait.

You are right.  You win.  Miles Sanders is a great 3rd down RB.

No winners in this debate.

Back to the topic,

Although I only have second hand knowledge and did go to Spartanburg today, nothing has jumped out as a red flag for BY.   It’s early but one day in the books and he looks every bit the part.  Does not seem as though he is drinking from a fire hydrant at the moment.

There is no such thing as putting too much on a rookie QBs plate.  It is their job to learn it to the best of their ability.

Doesn't mean they will have a great rookie season as a result.  But it will make them better in the long-term because they weren't babied as rookies.

I'm not sure I agree in all senses; I think we all have a limit on how fast and in what way we can learn complex things... And you can reinforce bad habits or incorrectness if you don't grasp something , not to mention the frustration of just screwing things up for other players.  It's why offenses are almost always simpler for rookies and grow thru the season.  It's why some coaches are criticized for not having good offenses for rookies, etc...

But BY is incredibly smart and by all accounts is picking the offense up extremely fast.  So I don't think we are moving him along too fast.

No reason to date to think we are putting too much on Bryce's plate.  But I definitely think you can put too much on a player that isn't ready.  Maybe it's the wording.  But you can set folks up for success or failure.  

Let's say we asked Bryce Young to do what a vintage Brady to do last year.  That would be 40+ pass attempts per game.  That would be asking too much for a rookie QB.   No indication this staff would be stupid though.

Cam was put into the one of the worst situations ever and came out of the gate with back to back 400+ yard games.  Im not saying Bryce will do the same, but he is in a better situation and should do just fine. Even if he doesnt, we all know it takes a couple years before he will take that next step.

Cam Newton was in a great spot. 

Double Trouble in the backfield.

Multiple pro bowlers on the OL.   

A pro bowl TE and a soon to be pro bowl TE playing in 2 TE sets 

Hall of Fame WR

Cam Newton went to a team that had a horrible record.   The talent for Cam was far from horrible.

I should have elaborated, I was more going after the coaching.  Chud force fed everything to Cam, Cam even said it was like a firehose.  Cam alluded to just winging it in the beginning and being himself. We all know QB coaches never solved his relying  on his back foot problem and never worked on improving accuracy. Then we never truly crafted the offense for Cam, within year 3 most weapons were gone, oline depleted. OC's constantly in flux, and Rivera handcuffing of Cam, which allowed him to get plastered over and over. Rivera ran that "Cam save me" well until it went dry.  Massive failures from those regimes, we should have had 1-2 super bowls during that era.

I've said before, and still say, that Mike Shula did a good job as Newton's quarterback coach.

His being promoted to OC was a huge mistake, though.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
