it's obvious that Bryce Young is too short.. that's why those windows arent really tight windows, they are small because he is small but in reality they are big and should be intercepted. The defense is intentionally not trying so that they can make Bryce Young feel good about himself as a small person in the NFL. This just a charity thing.

My son was trying to throw a football into a laundry basket earlier and complained that the dog was in the way. I told him that Bryce doesn't use those types of excuses and neither should he. Find the throwing lane and rip it!

Am I the only one not totally impressed with this play from Bryce's standpoint?

Great catch by Chark for sure, but this is not a completion in an actual game, if anything, Bryce might have just gotten Chark killed on this play.  The DB clearly pulled up there seeing as this is the first day of training camp, if this is a game, he's blowing up the WR there.

Was more of a medicine ball than a well placed pass

You are correct....but this is how it's gonna be till the actual games start. Thats when the truth will show one way or another.

Day 1 Bryce Summary:

https://theathletic.com/4723756/2023/07/26/panthers-bryce-young-training-camp-first-day/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983

With his parents Craig and Julie among those watching Wednesday at Wofford, Young got off to a good start during team drills with three consecutive completions. The first two went to Adam Thielen on underneath routes, with Shi Smith pulling in the third pass on a shallow crosser. Young did a nice job stepping up in the pocket on the second throw to Thielen; in a real game, defensive end Kobe Jones might have sacked him.

On Young’s next series, nose tackle Marquan McCall got a hand up to bat away a Young pass. A few plays later, Young hit DJ Chark deep down the middle of the field on a completion of about 45 yards or so. Chark got a step on backup cornerback Keith Taylor and Young found him before free safety Xavier Woods could arrive.

“I was just trying to put the ball up and let him go make a play,” Young said.

It was the first of two long-ish completions to Chark, the former Jacksonville and Detroit wideout with great speed who also hauled in a corner route.

“DJ’s someone who’s been around, has had a lot of success at different places. He’s a vet that you can tell knows exactly where to be,” Young said. “Super explosive. Really, he’s doing all the hard work. He’s the one getting open.”

It was good to see Young air a couple balls out because much of what he did during OTAs and minicamp focused on short- and intermediate-length routes. But he showed good touch on those, too. Near the end of practice Young perfectly led Raheem Blackshear on a swing route so the second-year back didn’t have to break stride.

Young, who was 9-of-12 passing, said there’s plenty he can work on. “From eyes to reads to feet, there’s everything you want to improve on. Pre-snap operation, being crisp throughout the huddle, things like that.”

Reich pointed out a couple of times when the ball came out early from Young. But Reich, a former NFL quarterback, is going to be patient with his 22-year-old QB.

“When we have a bad play, nobody’s gonna panic. And Bryce knows he’s gonna feel that from our staff. That’s already been said. ‘Hey, you’re the guy. Let’s go,’” Reich said. “There’s gonna be some ups and downs, but no one’s gonna try to predict how it’s gonna play out the first year. You just don’t know.”

I watched both Reich's and Fitt's press conferences after yesterday's practice. My job requires me to be adept at reading body language, particularly facial cues. I can say this about Reich and Fitt: Reich is a very happy man at the moment and Fitt is a very relaxed man at the moment. Stark difference in Fitt from last year to this year.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
