Let's discuss Bryce Young's debut

I can't believe you guys are making me defend Bryce Young.  Whose stats are these for their first game?

I was mid on the Bryce selection, I didn't hate the pick, but didn't love it either.  Rookie QBs struggle.  Bryce, CJ and AR ALL lost today.  It's a process.  Calm down.  Now, if Young looks like this by the end of the season, then panic.

As I said in another thread, he didn’t make a single NFL caliber throw today to generate excitement.  That’s what concerns me most.  He had tons of time to throw most of the game.  Was everyone covered every play?  Not sure…gotta see film of that.  My gut tells me he simply didn’t see the plays that were there to be made.

yep, probably trying to look laid back because he was scared and overwhelmed. like I said, not in a good way. maybe there is a better word.

Richardson couldn't finish the game because he put the team on his back and was trying to will them to a win like a warrior. Bryce got rag dolled on his sack, if he didn't throw so many dirt balls and throw aways when we need him to push it, he might not make it through a full game...

Oh, so if you get "rag dolled" yet finish the game you're frail but as long as you are a "warrior" while getting injured it's a positive attribute. I'm also amazed that you can tell when someone is scared but not showing any signs of it because they are actually PRETENDING to be laid back.

would you rather root for a team whose QB was willing them to a victory, throwing TD's, running in TD's taking on defenders like a warrior to get a win?

or would you rather have a safe, boring QB who has no physical abilities or intimidation getting your team blown out?

Nobody was open. He mad two bad throws where he lost track of the safety. A rookie mistake he will be much better fron today’s experience. 
 

I was actually impressed by the arm strength on his two deep attempts. Excited to see what he can do with DJ Chark healthy

think of like an 80's horror movie, the tough jock that claims to not be afraid of the monster but is actually terrified, but trying to be cool still ya know?

I strongly disagree.  He did a great job going through his progressions and sensing when time was up and needed to move to avoid pressure. If you were listening to Jake Delhomme on the radio during the game, Jake was gushing in his praise for BY.  Yes both of the interceptions were on him, but I believe he will learn to avoid repeating.  My only compaint is he needs to work on his deep ball accuracy.

None of that matters if you can't score points.

I see nothing wrong with having a Drew Bree’s or Tom Brady.

who aren’t gong to throw it 90 yards in the air or throw his body around into a freight train.

    • I wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree with wanting RBA gone.  It would be a huge mistake.
    • Rod wasn't on the ice for any of the goals the Canes scored or the ones we let the Rags score. Hockey is a cruel sport sometimes and I've said winning a Cup is probably the hardest championship to win in all the major sports; what with the salary cap in place, injuries that can and do happen to key players, teams/players that go on "heaters," and just plain damn puck luck. The Canes were the better team, but didn't perform and/or get much luck at all this series.  Refs were decidedly against the team (not saying this is why we lost the series, but it was obvious).  Games 2, 3 and 6 were winnable games for us and the guys didn't play up to the moment, they played nervous, scared, "not to lose hockey," and lost both of the OT games because of it and blew it tonight.  Game 1 was the only straight loss and unfortunately Freddie must have been wearing his Toronto undergarments tonight.  He deserves a lot of the blame tonight, but I can also say we had a couple of other guys that helped the collapse.  Orlov comes immediately to mind tonight and in one of the OT games when he just over skated a puck, to me he made (throughout the season) some of the most consistently dumbest plays I had ever seen out of the Canes defensive unit under RBA and Gleason. Losing absolutely sucks especially to this POS Rags team who can go fug each other, the refs, and the league officials who absolutely want them in the playoffs for as long as possible.  Trocheck can suck a fat cawk for his petty bullshit and I hope karma brings Trouba that broken neck he so richly deserves. All that being said, I don't believe RBA should be thrown under the bus AT ALL.  We could have won this series and there wasn't a specific decision he made that cost the team games.  The players didn't step up in the moments when they needed to, our PP was terrible all series, our PK was terrible in Games 1 and 2 and let us down in Game 6.  We tightened up in the OT games, our goalies were plain average or worse in 5 of 6 games with Freddy losing any sort of mental toughness tonight.  We rarely saw the Canes play the way they can play and when that happens in the playoffs say hello to the end of your season.  I've mentioned it before, but to win the Cup every one of those guys who laces em up and gets out there on the ice has to leave their blood, sweat, and tears out there every single night whether you are playing the Jr. Canes or fugging Rags.  There is no tomorrow, there is now and the Canes have not done that in the playoffs.  We've had tough breaks with injuries (Svech last year, Fast and Pesce this year, etc.), scoring issues, etc. but since I've been around the whole time the franchise has been in NC this iteration of the team has never shown some of the heart and grit that the teams did when they improbably went to the Stanley Cup finals vs. Detroit, won it all in 2006, and made the ECF in 2009 with overall less talent than we have now. I don't want RBA to go, he didn't lose any of these playoff series.  We can question his moves and in a few instances rightfully so, but I don't want to go back to where we were.  Daniels can go to Chicago, evaluate the roster, but this isn't an RBA issue and I don't think it's a Gleason coached D issue.  I think it's the players who have to understand an off night during the playoffs can't happen, play your game, don't overthink it, leave it all out on the ice, and take on the "us vs. the world" mentality.  Hell, the more I think about it the more this team may need a good sports psych. This series could have been 4-1 or 4-2 Canes, instead due to tightening up and nerves getting the best of the boys we lost 4-2.  It SUCKS, SUCKS, SUCKS, but no need with some of these crazy azz takes. and BTW I know we all want to attack us not getting an elite goalie, but 5 out of the last 7 Cup champions didn't have what I would call an "elite" goalie.  In most cases those teams had serviceable goalies who played up to the moment to win the Cup with their teams playing well in front of them.  The two Cups that the Lightning won with Vasilevskiy are the ones were I believe elite goaltending put them over the top. tl;dr:  This series loss isn't because of RBA, y'all are having knee-jerk reactions, our PLAYERS need to bring it when it's playoff time...they haven't, and sometimes the hockey gods aren't with you.
