Watch Bryce Young against Texas in 2022. This is a mirror image of how he looks in the pros.  Alabama won the game but only because Texas QB Quinn Ewers got hurt and Texas couldn’t score. The Texas defense wasn’t good this year, but they had Bryce under pressure most of the game, and Bryce didn’t do anything until the final drive of the game. I was saying this all off-season, this was a very telling game. It showed Bryce is too short to step up in the pocket when pressured. I haven’t seen him once stand tall in the pocket and deliver a clutch throw. He either scrambles to the sidelines or throws a wounded duck.

If Quinn Ewers doesn’t get hurt in this game, Texas wins easily and Bryce might have a much different season. I’m just not sure what if any game tape Bryce had out there that beat CJ Stroud’s Georgia game tape.

Alabama’s offense from last year looks very similar to the 2023 Panthers, just replace Gibbs with Thielen and you have the same issues. Subpar OL play and lack of speed/separation from the WR/TE group.

Look back to 2021 and it’s easy to see why Bryce and the offense were much more successful. Fast, explosive guy to stretch the field in Jameson Williams, great route runner/possession type (Thielen) in Metchie, and a big physical RB in Brian Robinson.

We could’ve had at least 2/3 of that covered by keeping DJ and maybe all of it by keeping Foreman or someone similar instead of Sanders, but oh well. Honestly, putting Shenault in at RB 10-15 times a game and running PA off of it a few times would probably help Bryce a lot.

I don’t think the offense is that far gone, one good offseason could make a huge difference if you trust management to get it done. Big if as it stands though.

It’s confirmed, our owner is micromanaging the operation or the front office/coaching staff has absolutely no ability to evaluate talent. Just when you think we couldn’t get any worse, we make some stupid move with trades, salary mismanagement and keeping/signing FA’s. Don’t get me started about draft day, it’s like an ADHD patient running out of Adderall.

No one here knows whether he'll be great, good, average, meh or bad at this point. 

Almost every great QB started with a bad first season. There are hall of famers that lost their first 11 games.

We suck right now. We were going to suck. 

Tomorrow we might be better. Tomorrow he might develop into the best of the bunch from this year.

Who knows?

I don't. You don't.

Based off the visuals, I've got a pretty good idea how this ends

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
