Let's discuss Bryce Young's debut

I did not like what I saw personally.

he looks tiny as advertised. he looks frail, he looks weak, he looks young, he looks scared, he looks very laid back but not in a good way.

he made a few decent throws. he's very robotic and safe, he's very fundamental driven but in a bad way.

his interceptions were ugly and practically identical mistakes.

I kept an eye on Anthony Richardson and he really does look like Cam Jr. 2 TD throws and a rushing TD. Got hurt towards the end carrying the team on his back like Cam.

hell even Baker looked leaps ahead of Bryce today. a lot of ball left but Bryce does not pass the initial eye test.

at times? he looked like...gulp Jimmy Clausen.

I'll see myself out...feel free to discuss amongst yourselves...

Being objective: He looks like yet another impatient, over reaction by the owner. One panic move after another by the Dave Tepper to find a QB. Bridgewater, Darnold, Mayfield and now Young. Young may be a solid NFL QB. But a franchise QB that you trade Moore, your 2023 1st Round pick and your 2024 1st round pick to get? NO!  He's not that. 

Four years of "trying to win now" instead of just sucking for one season and building from square one. 

And now, if this is the season they do suck and go 2-15...they have no First Round pick.

The experts said last January: There are no franchise QBs in the 2023 draft. But, once again, Tepper had to have his damned QB. 

To win, you HAVE to be patience, something Tepper will never have.

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.

If there aren't 9-10 wins between 2023-2024 seasons, then this entire thing was an unmitigated disaster and there is probably no light at the end of the tunnel. 

I think we will and have to do better than that. Anything else will mean we are the old Lions/Browns.

A calculated, football-smart, precision-matchup rhythm passer, ----- would be best suited entering a warm-weather or dome environment such as those most common in the South divisions. Would stand to benefit heavily from operating a short, dink-and-dunk rhythm passing game. Compensates for a lack of elite arm talent and prototype measurables with the intangibles and football intelligence that could elevate the other 52 players around him. Instinctive passer with the laser-beam determination to become a Pro Bowl-caliber passer in the right system.

^^^^^ Basically this which means I think Bryce can be good, but we f*dged up trading away our offensive weapons this year (and draft picks up to even get him) and signed subpar replacements that leaves us in a position where we might not be able to put together a suitable offense for Bryce this year...or next year either. 

Bryce's physical limitations were on full display today.  Saw potential with Hayden Hurst, but he will definitely need an elite-ish WR to help him out. I don't think we'll get that this season even with Chark coming back.

All of the rookies lost their games today. Young looked great in the first half but not so much in the second half. Atlanta stopped playing vanilla defense once they got the lead and it got to Young. The receivers did not really help him out either. Young will get it together and I hope Reich understands the amount of miscues he had in coaching today.

We will be behind the 8 ball for years if Bryce shats the bed.

DJ Moore was solid, but I’m not going to sit here and pretend like there weren’t games as recent as last year where Baker and Darnold couldn’t find any WRs getting separation. I feel like we as fans under appreciated Moore while he was here, but definitely over appreciate him now that he is gone.

Just let Brown call plays and Reich can be the team manager.  People like him but he's not an elite play caller

The good:

-Several good reads and throws with anticipation although receivers didn’t seem to be on the same page many times

- Looked very relaxed

-Good pocket presence and kept his eyes down field 


The bad:

 -No deep threat connection

 -Too many throw aways

-Too much head movement 

-Played it too safe after Int’s (that could be coaching)


Play calling was not great 

Run game rarely found rhythm 

Never a sense of urgency on offense - reminded me of Rivera-ball

I keep hearing he has a weak arm and others saying he kept over throwing it…

 

he looked like someone playing in his first NFL game. Hopefully by week 4-5 the game starts slowing down for him and he can take off. Anyone expecting more than 7 wins this year was being ambitious. Coach Bryce up and add 2-3 pieces next off season. The whole oline will be back again.

    • They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.   
    • There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
    • I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
