He threw the ball 58 times and had more yards.  What was his average 6.2???  I think Young has been 6.0 and 6.4 is past two games.  I mean they were down 17 points with 4 minutes left.  It wasn't some great offensive performance.  The best thing he did was not turn the ball over which makes sense with a veteran.  

Is Dalton a better QB that Young right now?  Of course he is as he should be at this point in his career vs Young's.   I don't think anyone is arguing differently.   Your reverse tactics are nice, but as I stated EVERYONE has a narrative.  Some people just like calling others out while pretending they don't have one as well.  

Dalton has been on 5 NFL teams in the last 5 years - the NFL thinks he's washed. 

Why should he be better than Young right now? Young was the #1 overall pick that we traded FIVE premium players to select him there. 

Hell the coaching staff didn't even have an open QB competition in Training Camp because they thought Young would be much better than Dalton.

The same reason Fitzpatrick looked better than Tua his rookie year. There is a learning curve and most rookie QBs start off below that of a 10 year starter.

A lot of us wanted NOTHING to do with Bryce during the pre-draft process because we had concerns about his game translating from college to the NFL.

So far, he hasn't struggled like a normal rookie QB does, making some bad reads or dumb decisions because they're still a rookie.  He's just flat out looked like he doesn't belong on this level, too small, not strong or fast enough to do what he did in college in NFL games.

So far all he's done is confirmed our concerns beyond even our own expectations for what he'd be.

We gave up the farm to get him

We're pissed

Sorry, but he's earned it with his play.  You don't want to be criticized?  Then don't be the #1 pick in the draft and then play like an undrafted rookie.

You got that from the Detroit game? Just flat out doesn’t belong? Outside of the “dumb rookie interceptions” he had a great game. Moved in the pocket well, delivered on time with accuracy and anticipation.

But I don’t think expect you to understand any of that stuff. I think you severely overrate your football knowledge. Because that is a brain dead take. Also, no one cares about your draft analysis. Or how right you think you are.

In conclusion, I officially award you “doesn’t know ball” status. I’m sure that’s hard for you, but you’ve got to prove that noggin is functional if you want me to remove it.

I think you're only looking at his 4th quarter when the Lions stopped pressuring him and went into a shell defense.  

He had 146 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs through 3 Quarters, that's awful and him having a decent 4th quarter when he game was in hand for the Lions and they went into safe mode doesn't make it a good game for him.

Just the fact that you think he's moving well in the pocket is all I need to see to show you have no idea what you're watching.  He bounces around out there like a pinball just looking for a way out, keeps turning his back to the LOS to try and escape backwards, which is the worst thing any QB can do, let alone someone of his size who isn't able to break the tackles that he keeps turning into.

He's been in so far over his head so far that anyone who sees anything different is just looking at it through Panthers fan glasses and can't objectively evaluate his play so far.  

What you think he can still be is of course up for debate, but what he's done isn't, the tape is out there and it's just facts, he's been the worst QB in the league so far.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
