For the love of God! We have 3 weeks to turn a Jv team into an NFL team! Would have appreciated if when Reich is saying Bryce is the best QB I've ever seen, he would have prefacite with but the rest of his team sukks! If so I may not be building another sweet in the Bellagio! Mind you I'll never be able to stay just help pay.

All the skill players were out there with Young.  Miles was the only one held out and we knew that a couple days ago.  Bryce had everyone. 

Jets vanilla D also happened to be one that had no respect for the deep ball.   Which makes dink and dunk harder 

I don’t remember Thielen at all. Responding to this I just remembered Chark was out there the first drive but I don’t think after that.  He was working with the backups after the first drive I think

Does anyone think Luvu has star potential?

 

He’s already there. I’m personally not accepting anything less. The stats have backed it, the energy backs it. When last years Rhule led team constantly looked lethargic , he made a play, he brought the motor, he brought the energy. He’s an absolute menace at the LOS. Tracks so well. Coverage is a work in progress but I may not like a player more than Frankie.

Impressed by Young’s poise. Night and day compared to Corral under similar circumstances. Corral went from overambitious to overly hesitant to zeroing in on check downs and firsts reads and/or bailing on the pocket early. Classic indica of the game being too fast. 

 The sample sizes obviously are disproportionate but Young took a few shots and didn’t seem impacted in the least. The offense was handed vanilla plays without the option for motion and adjustment. Jets rush was especially aggressive, hard knocks and a prior game under their belt and all. On those 3rd downs where defense was pinning back: 

1) First drive: Throw for a first down against the sideline is slightly sailed to chark. Smitty points out Chark probably should have taken a half step rather than one and a half timing wise. If the timing is on point here we’re raving about this play.

2nd or 3rd drive?) Don’t recall which one but again we set up a third a 5 or so because of the blandest of shotgun runs on second down. Pass again down the sideline, this time to Shenault. Smitty remarks that (despite contact that maybe warrants PI), Shenault needs to get flatter (drop towards the sideline) rather than deeper (going upfield) in that down and distance. Had he done so, this again is an easily executed play. 

This is practice/coaching stuff. Luckily, unlike the prior regime, I have no concerns about this one failing for lack of knowledge and effort. The key is seeing improvement next week on the individual battle level at least which those two throws I highlighted essentially are.

Drive 1 - D.J. Chark Jr., Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo
Drive 2 - Adam Thielen, Terrace Marshall Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr.
Drive 3 - Jonathan Mingo, Terrace Marshall Jr., Shi Smith

I mean Young was given all the guys.  It’s what we had been praising.  Tons of great options with no go to guy.  People shouldn’t no where the ball is going.

I think the biggest issue is there is some basic game planning.  For example, the Jets were out there playing with no respect for the deep ball.   Which is going to muck up small ball,

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
