Can't argue with the assessment. Most rookie QBs aren't going to perform well right out of the gates and Bryce seems to be one of those. 

But the real question is where will he be after three years? That's when we have to look at long term contracts and is he a franchise cornerstone. And no one here has the crystal ball that can answer that at this point. 

Maybe he will reach his potential and develop into a modern Drew Brees. Maybe he will go the Brady Quinn route and never develop. Maybe he lands in Doug Flutie land somewhere between those two. Or maybe he has the fate of RGIII and falls to injury.

We don't know and we won't know for a while.

And I think that he's suffering the slings and arrows right now because the team is 0-4 and it's not a very well built team and its one that doesn't play with much energy or fire. And personality-wise, Bryce isn't a fire and lightning kind of leader, nor is his coach.

It's a complex situation and all we're looking for is a win here and there, some signs of progress. Sure wish we were getting some of that.

Summary:

Bryce lacks NFL level arm strength, is about the size of a 17 year old high school QB, and looks out of place 90% of the time.  
 

I didn’t waste time reading the article.  Why bother ? 

It’s a good article about eight or so young QBs they do every week. Weird to come and post and not even read it.

I’m sure it’s informative. No knock on your post, I’m just not interested in hearing anything more about Young. His performance speaks volumes.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
