All people have to do is go watch him choke against the then 2-14 Jags that eliminated them from the playoffs.

Any coach is gonna be hard-pressed to win 4 games with this roster, top-to-bottom. I've noticed the angriest people are the usual suspects plus the people who expected 9-10 wins this season. I'm not sure there's 9 wins to be had combined between 2023 and 2024, and that's even as Young improves.

I think he showed some flashes but overall disappointing. Particularly the same mistake on the second INT. It's his first game, we should wait until mid season before analysing too much. 

One thing I will say is his demeanour. He was very calm, but almost to the extent he brought no energy to the game. Not sure how to really interpret it.

Bullsh*t. Wilks won more than that with less talent. That is the lamest excuse I've heard.

I thought Bryce looked okay for it being his real first day on the job. Nobody’s perfect on their first day and he definitely found out the hard way with those 2 picks. But he showed poise and maturity in there and will grow from here. 
 

Agree with everyone else on needing better weapons with some speed.

Not much dawg and his parents seem to be overbearing/sheltering him. I've been a little weirded out since the combine honestly. Also the coaching staff praising him since day one was super soft for me. Seems like Duce is the only coach with an edge and our running game still sucked

He is what this team lacks: an affordable power back.

I can agree power back was and is a need for this offense with a rookie QB. Hubbard is better than some people say here but why we were running him on 4th and 1 is perplexing. But Foreman alone isn't changing this offense. Either Reich and Brown have some kinks to work out or it just stinks altogether. In their defense this receiver core is mehhhhhhhhh. Trading DJ Moore may very well cost Fitterer his job. Among other gaffes.

I mean a big talking point for drafting this guy was that he was able to perform well with hardly anything around him. Now he needs weapons everywhere to succeed, if you the number 1 pick i expect to see some sort of ability to elevate everybody around you. Not this " i cant judge him until he has all weapons around him" stuff. Dont care to hear that, I mean that started before we even got to game 1. Its not even necessarily about winning when it comes to that, just show why you were drafted at that spot in these games with what you have around you. Like someone else said, didnt see one elite caliber play today. Maybe next week.

It will cost him his job when coupled with the grocery baggers he's given Young to throw to.

    • The problem with all those scenarios is typically that you don't find out the player is a problem child until too late. The team trading him to you has zero reason to be honest about that. Even his teammates are likely to be fairly tight lipped unless it is off the record or it has now become widely known how bad the player's attitude/issues are. Think about Brown specifically. He wasn't widely/publicly known as a nutbag until late in his career, although ample evidence existed prior to that point.  It makes sense. Like a teammate or not, it's not wise to be out there blabbering about locker room issues in front of the public. Not a way to endear yourself to current or future teammates.
    • I don’t remember what I said this year. I had us winning 6 last year. I was optimistic a little.  I probably said 6 or 7. Wasn’t feeling optimistic so much this year. 
    • I mean if you look at Bryce’s stats before last week, he was ranked damn near the bottom of the league in every category so you can’t fault people for thinking anything positive is bogus. I’ve heard several analyst say they don’t know how to rank the panthers because we are a confusing team. One week we look like complete dog poo the next we win 30-0. Sure we beat a horrible jets team, but what was it, 13-6 or something like that? Beat the pack, but how good are they? They lost to us and the Browns and tied with Dallas, are they frauds? Would we have beat the bills with Bryce, I doubt it. Barely beat a 3-5 falcons team in OT and those seem to be Bryce’s best games. To me, the jury is still out and I’m optimistic, we beat SF and Bryce plays will il start to really believe.
