I have always liked Sherman as a speaker, and when I clicked this video I really expected Keyshawn to vouch for Bryce, and Sherman rip Bryce. However, it was the exact opposite. Keyshawn sounds like an absolute moron in my opinon in this video, he is still stuck on size... I guess he got the short end of the stick by the producers. His arugments are pretty flat and his supporting evidence is borderline made up.

 

We are all emotionally invested, so we have reactions and most of our's come from a place of anger... bc we hate to lose. Hearing Sherman's take as a modern defensive player was valuable for me and helped me get grounded this am. A good listen if you have the time.

Good post, watched this earlier and it was a nice perspective. 

i, like many, had some doubt creep in last night but have tried to keep some context in mind.

-We’re 2 games in, one of which was in a *loud* ATL stadium at home for his first start, and the other against an *elite* defense in NO. Some concern is warranted/understandable but to outright say he’s a bust after two games is complete lunacy. 

- If Bryce doesn’t overthrow Mingo last week for the TD, or Mingo doesn’t drop that pass that hits him in the hands to get in the red zone yesterday, or TMJ doesn’t let up on that route last week, we’d probably be having bit different kind of a convo. Playing “what if” is useless, but I think the amount of near-hits is more indicative Bryce needing to work on and finding his timing with our guys and a lack of perimeter talent than him not being able to throw deep. 
 

- I think a lot of the “deflation” of the fan base is also due to seeing CJ Stroud have a better start and seeing how Howell is doing in WAS. I get it - I wanted Howell in that draft as well, and was team Stroud before really digging into the draft. But you can’t let FOMO and “the grass is always greener” color your entire evaluation of someone - like I said before, it’s been 2 games. We’ve got a lot of chapters to go before either of their books are written. 
 

do I wish he came in and out up 400 and some touchdowns week one or two? Of course, but the kid is a rookie and it’s not like he looked like Zach Wilson. 
 

bryce very well could bust, not denying that, but I’m not gonna give up hope on the kid two weeks into his career. 
 

at least we didn’t trade for deshaun. Shits looking dark in Cleveland rn.

It's not even that he's just small, he doesn't even have the athleticism to make up for it. He not only got sacked by a shoulder brush, but got ran down by like he was a child a couple of times.

There should be SOMETHING tangible to point to when you draft a guy 1 overall. I don't doubt he's going to play better moving forward, but giving up so much for such a low ceiling is ridiculous.

I keep expecting more quickness from him. But he can't see to turn a corner and out run DEs that are in chase.

This is what's concerning to me, he's going to have to be the reincarnate of Drew Brees for this to work. 

Kyle Murray is small but you better not let him hit that corner or he's gone. 

He's going to need to be able to dictate to defenses presnap to make up for his physical limitations and right now the defenses are dictating to him.

Brees was always the comp you want with Bryce.  Gotta give him at least the full season but I'm frustrated with the entire organizational build at the moment.  Hopefully he gets better because if not we have at least another season of suck but more than likely 3-5

It’s bad…we all know it’s bad but are in different stages of coping.

Denial - he will be just fine

Anger - the fug is going on 

Bargaining - if we get him weapons/better coaching he will be better.

Depression - why can’t they make things work

Acceptance - we just gonna keep on sucking

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
