You can assert it all you want but that doesn't make it true.  I don't know if Bryce is a bust or not because no one knows that yet.

I also know that football is the ultimate team sport and everything affects everything else so it's also difficult to judge Bryce because of all the other problems with the team and coaching.

Maybe go watch some all 22 film and give me something beside what you "see" of a guy you didn't like before he ever took a snap.

Regardless of what I felt about him before we drafted him, once he was the choice, I bought in and wanted to believe.  I even bought into the mincamp and preseason hype and highlights the team shared.  What I'm saying now is based off of evidence.  

Everyone blamed the receivers and as they stated today, Thielen is literally the best slot receiver in the league right now...  so, you can't have it both ways.  

I get it, he's a rookie, but some poo he is lacking is just expected of an NFL QB at baseline, rookie or not.  You can attribute my issues with him to whatever you want, but at the end of the day, it doesn't make it any less true.  What he has shown even in optimal situations sprinkled throughout 6 weeks does not look like a franchise QB.  We can hope that he is, but at the end of the day, it will be what it is...  and it doesn't look good.  It's better to acknowledge a mistake early and fix it then to close your eyes and keep pretending it's not a mistake in the first place.  He deserves the rest of the season, but I just don't see him becoming much more than he is because of his limitations he has demonstrated over and over again.

Exactly, most of the people complaining about Bryce never played football before and don't know how scheme works.

Evidence of a rookie qb with little weapons, suspect coaching, etc.  I not just a Bryce defender.  I think he has plenty of "possible" issues but don't know if those issue are legit or a product of other things he has not control over.  That is why it takes at least 2 years or longer to really judge a guy.

Thielen being the best slot receiving isnt' having it both ways.  Why is he rated the best slot receiver?  It's because he's the diamond shining on a bad team.  Classic example of how stats can lie.  The fact that you think this is another strike against your skills to accurately analyze what is really happening.

If you've think we've been in any "optimal" situations for Bryce to showcase his skills then I question your eyesight as well as your analytical skill.

You say he's a bust and we need to cut bait and move on which is just stupid on it's face at his point and I'd say that for any rookie QB ever.

I say I've seen improvement and a lot of positive things when looked at in context.  I've also seen tons of mistakes he's made and have called him out on those but I don't know how good or bad a player he will turn out to be because at the end of the day, no one does.

People being negative about the terrible team bothers you more than the team being terrible?

He is nothing more than Mr. Dink & Dunk.  

The shaded area in blue is all the defense has to worry about at this stage of his career (ball at the 20).  Not my best artist work, but I'm no Bob Ross.

Anyway, that's a LOT of the field the defense doesn't have to worry about.

      A comparison of QBs drafted #1 overall

      By Icege · Posted

      "Bryce Young did not have a good rookie season compared to other QBs selected #1 overall. My eyes say so." But... why don't the facts support this? WOA THERE NOW! Whether you're a Stroud Boy sitting down and idling by or a devout member of BrySIS, I come in peace. The purpose of this write-up is to explore the validity of a common complaint echoed by disgruntled Panthers fans. This isn't proving that Bryce Young is without fault for 2023-2024. It isn't demanding that everybody only cheer for him and never criticize. Hell, it isn't even a "Bryce is good" post. It is just a statistical look at BY9's rookie season compared to other QBs taken at #1 overall. A quick note on methodology: All of the data was pulled from Pro-Football-Reference.com, which did not have advanced stats for any QB entering the league after 2017 (Hurries, Hits, Pressures, Pressure %, Drops, and Drop %). Going back to 2000, there have been 18 QBs selected #1 overall . Blacked out boxes are for missing/invalid data. Below is the comparison: Perhaps the only thing that Panthers fans can agree on is that, despite fears regarding his size, Bryce Young can take the punishment that an NFL defense can dish out over the course of a season. While he did miss one game, the only QB that's started more games their rookie season is Trevor Lawrence. This was in spite of BY9 being sacked, hurried, hit, and pressured more than any other rookie since 2000 except David Carr (who is also #1 for fumbles and fumbles lost, where as Bryce is #2 in both of those categories). The one stat that Young did lead in was pressure percentage... No other QB in the last 25 years has been pressured more during their rookie campaign than Bryce Young. Even with all of that working against him, his body still held up.  This isn't anything new to anybody with a functioning set of eyes. Even people that think Bryce should still order from the kid's menu will admit that having a different eight different left guards and nine different right guards is probably going to make an already difficult situation for a rookie more difficult. This is where mobility helps bails teams out, and an additional area of concern for detractors. We won't see Young doing the same thing we saw Cam do such as carrying a defensive lineman downfield on his back or steamrolling a defensive back into the dirt. We did see him scramble though enough to put up the 7th highest rushing yards for a QB selected at #1 since 2000. Also not new to fans was the underperformance of the weapons fielded by the team last season. Scheme, playcalling, and inability to separate have been beaten to death but what if I told you that the group also had the third most drops for the third highest drop percentage out of all other teams supporting a #1 rookie QB? To say that the entire offense surrounding Bryce failed him is an understatement, and it reflects in the stats. With that context in mind, let's dive into the passing stats... Completions: 5th (315) Attempts: 6th (527) Completion %: 7th (59.8%) Passing Yards: 9th (2,877) Passing TDs: 11th (#11) INTs: 12th (10)     Having the fifth most completions, sixth most attempts, seventh highest completion percentage, and ninth most passing yards all place Bryce Young in the top half of the sample group. He was also 12th in INTs, meaning that despite the constant duress he was under while trying to find an open target that Bryce was not turning the ball over as frequently as other QBs did their rookie year. Being 11th in passing TDs is frustrating, but it's hard to get into the redzone with all of the aforementioned issues as well as the not-so-silent drive killer: penalties. Carolina was #4 in the league this past season for pre-snap penalties with 45. That means that every game had two to three false start penalties. In 2022, teams averaged 10.9 drives per game. If the same holds true for 2023, the Panthers averaging over ~2.64 false starts a game means that 25% of their offensive drives are being marched back five yards. Are these all just excuses in the end and Bryce will never be able to contend for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title? Maybe. Will it make some fans any less insufferable? Definitely not. What it will do though is help make the last two hours of a three hour meeting go by much, much faster. Hope y'all have been well. Keep Pounding!

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      He has a lot to work just to be an average starter and I dont see it happening.  Lots of blame to go around for last season but Bryce was a big part of that, even in the GB game he was dropping too far back and allowing the pass rush to tee off on him.  He cant use the same little quirks that he used in college to overcome his size in the NFL.
