The first two games Bryce was actually overthrowing WRs deep. You’ve turned into one of the worst posters over your hate for Bryce. It’s embarrassing. 

Do you have anything to add to a conversation or are you just going to continue to complain about other people posting?

Look I love him but he's on the payroll now. One the best things Tepper's done here was making a pointed effort to rebuild that bridge. Smith's not going to throw his guy under the bus.

He's also not the hothead he was twenty years ago. The folks who can't see past the man he was twenty years ago are telling on themselves. 

 

 

He was just calling out how bad Baker was last year immediately after their loss to the Ravens. Call him a “three legged donkey” and rambled about how bad they looked on offense. Smith doesn’t really care.

I don't think anyone here hates Bryce save for one or two people on the extreme end of the spectrum. If you are so dug in on your position because he was your favorite prospect and you don't want to be wrong that you are manufacturing enemies because they are acknowledging his rookie season is going poorly it is probably a sign you should unplug some.

I would imagine everyone wants him to succeed, however our concerns about him when he was drafted have shown up on the field

I don't think he's incapable of criticitizing the team but that's a far cry from bashing Tepper. He starts the video off mocking fans for blaming Tepper. The staff and Bryce are a direct reflection of Tepper.

I'm just saying he's biased. You're not going to get an honest opinion when Tepper's a big donor to Steve's orgs and they have a personal relationship.

I'll love to be wrong. All I can go off of is what I'm seeing though. I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and act like everything is just fine. But you do you.

LG not gonna lie man. You are getting pretty bad here. You are “sticking your head in the sand” when prettty good cases are made. 
 

im not sure what’s going on with you lately, but your posts are getting troll worthy. Just giving you honest feedback. I tried dm’ing you but it says I’m not allowed to message you.

He just did last year when Baker was playing though. That’s my point.

That dude is not making any cases.

Keep being positive. I don't agree but I legitimately appreciate it different takes. Feel free to use the ignore feature on the forum if you need.

This are his Week 1 and Week 2 charts - what 'deep overthrows' are you talking about? Despite what the NFL says 20 yards is not a deep throw, as it's barely longer than where the safeties line up. There is one throw of 40 yards but that's Drew Brees-deadarm depth.

I don't get why current and former Panthers think this is the move. Yes some of the reaction is over the top because it's the internet. But the track record under this ownership speaks loudly. Like megaphone loud. The criticism has been earned and then some. Mocking your fans is only going to accelerate the decline.

The one I distinctly recall was the ball from our opponents' goal line to an open streaking Mingo. It should've been a 99 yard TD but it was probably only thrown about 20 yards past the LOS.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
