Let me be clear I’d trade Bryce for a ham sandwich right now but I want this organization to figure it out and find out if they’re spending pick 33 on a QB in next years draft or not 

We can’t do that, if/when Bryce is terrible in 2024, we can start to consider taking a new QB in the first, but there won’t be any QB good enough on the 2nd round to make it worth our while to do that in the next draft.

Start building up the franchise right and add solid young players with picks like that.

So…. When the defense just decided to play soft zones, he was able to complete easy passes.

Exactly what I’m looking for from the #1 pick of the draft

Same as that drive against NO where they went soft as well with a 2 TD lead late. I’m not going to say it wasn’t nice to see completions and scores but we were down 4 scores in the 4th quarter and it was clear Detroit was sitting back.

Look I’m trying here. He’s shown practically nothing for 15 quarters. I never thought he’d throw for 3 touchdowns garbage time or not

Do I think it’ll be ugly next week against Miami until it’s a blowout? Yes

I get it. But the more I watch him, the more I am second guessing the pick. Doesn’t help watching CJ putting on a clinic week after week. I’m fearful that every thing we’ve done has set us back half a decade (at least) from being competitive again.

It's all the point Detroit had all but won the game in the 2nd quarter. Of course they are going to give up plays when they basically go prevent. When the game mattered and was in the balance is when he had the 2 picks which essentially sealed the game for them

Ehhh football is a cause and effect sport. If Miles doesn’t fumble then maybe we go down and tie the game and everything is different. Was clearly pressing on that 2nd pick after the turnover.

I see a lot of Clausen comparisons from posters yet I've never seen Clausen have that type of game against ANY defense prevent or not. So which is it? Is he a Clausen clone or a garbage time stat padder? He can't be both.

Today was a rough day for most of it. Those interceptions sucked. They were pretty terrible decisions no ifs ands or buts about it. I expect to see some of those kind of plays time to time from our rookie QB.

But to the people complaining about garbage time stats you wouldn't waste anytime flaming Bryce if he threw more INTs and had multiple 3 and outs during "garbage time" in today's game so your opinions are exactly that, garbage. I give credit to Bryce for continuing to battle through adversity even when the game isn't close. Hopefully this will give him something to build off of in future weeks.

The guy was hyped for being a cerebral mental savant and he’s made a ton of really dumb mistakes, even for a rookie. 
 

We drafted him #1 overall and mortgaged our future in the process. Blame the coaching and talent all you want, but the criticism against Bryce is 100% valid.

You going to do this for how long? Plenty of room on that Texans bandwagon trust me. 

My guy I'm going nowhere I'm just speaking my mind. It was a layup pick. This will be talked about for years these two guys careers will always be connected as long as they are both in the league. I still don't get why you jumped ship but you do you.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
