What do you feel like Bryce Young's ceiling is, as of now?


Recommended Posts

Too early to call, kid still hasn’t settled in, looks shook out there. Seems he’s playing scared instead of with the quiet confidence we were sold, er, told he had.. if he can settle down, step up into & not straight away from pressure then he could do something great.. 

Or, we really screwed the seemingly prodigal pooch…

Bryce hasn’t had time to throw and he has very mid WRs at best. Even so, he completed 19 straight passes in his 3rd game. He has potential to be very good if protected. No QB at any level will succeed without time to operate. 

lol, please tell me you're not bragging about a QB who can complete a string of screen passes and dump offs, as the majority of those 19 were balls thrown at the LOS.

We probably won’t figure out cause I have have high doubts we can surround him, let alone other players on the roster with the resources and coaching to get the best from them.

I think he can be what Nick foles was from his better years if the right talent is added, drew Bree’s is a stretch, division rivals or not Bree’s is not something that may ever be replicated, especially at that size

20th best QB in the league

He's never going to be an elite QB in this league, he just doesn't have the physical traits to be so, but if he gets stronger he can still figure it out and be an average starter.  Someone who doesn't stick with the team that drafts him but bounces around as an occasional starter, the Bridgewater type.

But that's legit what I think his potential ceiling is, personally I think he's a bust, I felt that and said as much before the draft, but got on board when we took him and tried to get hyped about his "super brain" that we kept hearing about.  But seeing him out there on an NFL field, it just looks like his game isn't going to translate to this level, his speed and strength worked in college, but it won't here and all my pre-draft concerns are showing clear as day.

This is a carbon copy of my thought process from pre draft til now.

    • 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.
