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!

BTW, much appreciated @Jackie Lee. All the scoop in one place. Thank you!

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.
