Bryce Young Cries

I don't view crying as no more a red flag than throwing a tantrum, or skipping a press conference or doing any of the things Cam was accused of. Bryce may bust, but linking his on field tears to some frailty of mind that's throws up a red flag, is as much of a reach as linking Cam's "emotions" after a loss to his lack of leadership or whatever dog whistles people were using at the time. 

 

There is a part of our fan based that is fuging stupid. Earlier this week a huddler basically said Bryce was weak because he allegedly went to therapy at Bama, which itself was a misrepresentation of a larger story of Bama pushing therapy for its players as a whole.

I mean, I feel for the guy. I really do. I honestly think he's just facing the stark reality that he's now playing at a level that his physical toolset might just be an obstacle he can't overcome. If you physically can't make the throws there's really nothing you can do about it. You either can or you can't.

Don't know how you come away with that being the take when every player on the offense looks out of place...no one looks good which suggest its systemic

I agree.  And despite my very vocal, harsh criticisms, it's not his fault.  He seems like a good kid and who wouldn't want to be drafted as high as possible?  But man, it's tough to feel too bad for him because somewhere along the way, he had to know he wasn't worthy of that pick.  But if I'm him, what am I gonna do?  Tell the team don't pick me?  He's rich beyond measure and will likely have a great announcing gig when he's done playing, but it just sucks to be the team on the receiving end of a scam that so many "non-football" people were onto long before the pick was made.

I got roundly mocked pre-draft for questioning his physical ability to make the throws at the NFL level and to escape NFL defenders. Watching him on college it was very obvious that his arm was NFL average at very best and was likely below average.

Horseshit. I just looked at the replay and he’s not crying. He looks upset, but not crying. Nope. 

The Bryce haters are obsessed with infantilizing Bryce, I think in large part to his size. They want to paint him as weak and feeble in every manner possible.

Thats not say Bryce should not be criticized for his mistakes, but poo is disrespectful and stupid.

As I posted earlier, I just want to see him try to make something happen. Did we have a pass that traveled more than 20 yards in the air today?

Why can't we start a drive going deep on a playaction pass on first down instead of running up the middle for 1 or 2 yards?

I'd like to see Mingo and Marshall Jr running more crossing routes to get them involved and pick up some YAC. 

If Bryce has limitations in the traditional pocket, let's call some  bootleg throws; move the pocket help him see better down the field. 

Go back to his college tape and install the plays he feels most comfortable with. 

Build an offense tailored to what he does best.

And to be clear, I'm not making light of him crying or showing emotion.  That's an archaic and outdated detrimental expectation of men.  I cried over sports.  Michael Jordan cried over sports.  Cam cried and was demonstrative over sports.  Nothing wrong with it.

I think what's alarming is that this guy has been so heavily publicized and held up for his mental toughness and "super processing", and paired with everything he's showing on the field, he appears to be the complete antithesis of those things and he doesn't seem to know how to handle any of it.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
