But those guys started.  YGM will be in spot duty *knocks on wood*  unless Houston and Burns struggles to stay healthy. Haynes, once fully ready, will probably be the #3 guy.  Barno has too much speed not to give him snaps.  We draft Johnson too. 

YGM is going to have a hard time getting enough snaps to have a "break out year" as a Panther.

I see Barno, Haynes, and Burns as the "rush LBs" and Johnson, YGM, Houston, and Leota as the "edge holders" who will do more bull rushing the passer.  For that reason, YGM is really neither.  I was much more impressed with Leota in the preseason that YGM or Johnson, fwiw.

Hardy was an elite-level athlete.

YGM has no get off and best serves any team as a high-motor rotational guy that can start the last few games if the starter goes down.

Yetur had potential as a base 4-3 strong side end, but his burst and handfighting skills just aren't there.

Hardy was/is a legit psychopath. That's what fueled him on field and what made him a train wreck off field.

YGM just seems too sane to turn into Hardy.

I always mark Hardy’s off the field issues and subsequent removal from the team as one of the reasons the 2014 team struggled as much as it did. 
With him we were 2-0. Losing didn’t start happening till after he was let go for week 3.

No and I’m very disappointed he hasn’t shown growth or consistency with getting pressure.

Yeah, he is the guy you always see break free and chase the QB when there is really good downfield coverage. But that explosive, beat the guy in front of him and blast the QB type play still hasn't been put on tape. I wonder how long he lasts.

If you are looking to bury him, do not read this post.  However, if you want to hold out hope, he has the tools and he is with a new Staff.  Rhule was a bitch, and if you got in his dog house, I can see where it would be discouraging.

 

having said that, I just do not see him in this system.  For his size, he needs to bull rush and hold the edge.  Can he?

I would not be surprised if he’s cut, everything points to him being maxed out on talent.

Yeah, I'm so disappointed in YGM. Coming out of college, he looked like he could have been the 2nd best DE out of that draft. The size. The arm length. The alleged ability to bend the edge. And last season, he had all the chances in the world to break out.

What the heck happened?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
