For as much time as Bryce had to throw I think he made too many mistakes.

I missed part of the third quarter but I counted an overthrow to Mingo on what could've been a bomb, and a lot of incompletions to WRs and RBs who were smothered. I saw two rookie mistakes, which every rookie makes, and an excellent S capitalized on both of them.  

I can't recall another pass where the wideout was open for a gain, and the ball was way off. TMJ beat his man and stutter-stepped, which was truly impressive.

Sometimes I look at these guys around Young and i wonder if they're on his team or not, given how confused they are when on the field. 

To be fair, the HC seemed confused a lot as well.

I wanna add in on Terrace "Devin Funchess" Marshall.

It's week one, maybe they'll gel more in the future. A few times were legit miscommunications.

But a year 3 WR giving up on routes is maddening. Yet wants to pop his chest for making the most basic fugin' catches. 

Funchess did way more than Marshall has done

We don't have the WRs that can take the top off of a defense with Chark out, and to be totally honest I don't know how much of a difference he makes.

This team is already banged up with Chark, Thielen, and Sanders not at full speed.  We have 1 tight end who is actually competent in both phases of the run/pass game.

As for our D - we are going to get gashed by teams who can run the ball and lit up by teams who can throw it.  Atlanta is not a good team and we'll face much better down the line.

It's very possible that Mingo is the best WR by a mile, and he's awfully similar at this stage to Brandon LaFell (I don't mean that as an insult, LaFell was a passable WR2).

Thielen is Football Gordon Hayward, capable of some nice plays but gets open as easily as Ickey Ekwonu if you split him out wide.

Chark is Street Clothes.

TMJ, after two-plus seasons, gives off major Dwayne Jarrett vibes.

Smith-Marsette made two big plays, and both of them were for Atlanta.

Miles Sanders' lone big play was a lost fumble.

Enjoy your weapons, Bryce. The Huddle's blaming you for not carrying this title-contending lineup of future Canton enshrinees.

The young dude who has never called plays anywhere before?

Then don’t hire him.  Don’t hire a young exciting dude with potential from a great tree.  Whose 2nd half playcalling was better all preseason. Hire an experienced OC and let him do it.

Frank isn’t a good playcaller.  That’s not new.  He should focus on being the HC.  Was talked all preseason and when he first announced he would keep doing it here after getting fired for it

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits.

      Panthers win of course.  Like every Sunday I still have the hopelessly optimistic mindset  😎

      You do realize that first play was at 9:16 and they scored a TD before the 2 minute warning. 7 minutes is not a super long drive to come out with a TD. Longer developing plays is what helped get Carolina in the situation they were in. So you're suggesting they should have kept calling the same plays that weren't working? Are you suggesting Bryce keep throwing the same passes that weren't being completed? They were not in soft zone coverage. For comparison, this is Carolina's first defensive alignment in the 3rd quarter, and that's with only 1 WR on the field.  Cardinals were in a normal alignment/depth to stop run or pass. Not a soft zone to give underneath passes to TEs/RBs only. The LBs would likely be closer to 10 yards deep and the DBs more like 15-20 yards in that scenario.
