Dear Coaches, Stop Coddling

Yeah this irritates me more than anything.  Let him sling it.  I can’t recall us running any slants, skinny posts, deep posts or crossers, etc.  The offensive system is broken.  Even Andy had to deal with some head scratching play calls and very few mid level/deep shots.  He threw for 300 yards because he threw the ball 50 times.  We have zero creativity, never throw on first down, and constantly force Bryce to play behind the chains. 
 

Let the kid throw the friggin ball.  Run more play action.  Roll him out of the pocket.  This offense currently looks exactly like the Colts offense with Matt Ryan last year.  It’s anemic, predictable, and boring.

Maybe it's not playing not to lose and something else. Like damage control. IDK, anything is on the table at this point. They are an embarrassment and there isn't a good way to spin it so it should be getting loud soon. 

That absolutely would make sense too, maybe they think Youngs Mind is fragile?  Whatever it is, it clearly isnt working.  I think about what Justin Fields showed last year.  Im not saying Justin Fields is any good whatsoever, but Bears fans atleast had some excitement at the end of last season not because he was winning games and not even because he wasnt turning the ball over, it was because he did some big splashy things that made fans hopeful.

We always said the same thing about Sam then he’d instantly do something stupid 

Maybe the coaches know this is about as good as it gets for Bryce

At least for now.  I think it would be worth while to sit Bryce the next couple of games and let's give it another go in week 8 after the bye.

He needs to gain weight and get stronger. I truly can’t believe he showed up looking so damn small.

He can't gain height, but he can put on mass and get stronger.  That strip-sack/fumble today was weak.  The defender barely whacked him on the arm and the ball popped out.  Dude needs a whey powder infused IV.  I'd like to see Bryce get up to about 215 pounds.

Same goes for the one against the Saints. It doesn’t look like he gained a single pound from the end of the season last year. I really didn’t think that would be the case

Even Zach Wilson is looking a lot thicker right now. Maybe Bryce thought this would be easy

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
