Bryce Young is very similar to Drew Brees but Panthers nation should be patient

[Lame Duck]

I was at the game today and Panthers fans were booing Young and screaming at him the entire game.  It was pretty disgusting.  What did I do?  I bought Bryce jersey instead. 
 

Back in March, I wanted Stroud.  I said he was the most NFL ready player in the draft and I got absolutely pooed on.  I’m telling you now that Bryce will be very special but Panthers fans need to be patient.

During the path to draft, Bryce was compared to Drew Brees and so far, he looks identical.  You might think I’m crazy but hear me out.  In first three season in the NFL, Drew Brees averaged per game 200 yards passing, 1 TD,  1 interceptions, and rating of 73. These stats are nearly identical to Bryce Young (Bryce is actually better).  San Diego got impatient and dumped Brees and the rest is history.

You might say well Bryce and Brees are not the same but actually, their playing style is absolutely identical.

Here are Brees highlight from 2018.  Even in his prime, Brees needed to step into his throws to generate velocity but there are some big differences.  Brees feet and release.  Brees takes three rapid steps and uncorks the bullet.

Bryce footwork is a complete nightmare.  He is very heavy footed.  He needs to be lighter on his feet.  Bryce legit takes one step back and barely moves.  He also takes too long to uncork.  He does not read the field yet and not because he’s a slow processor but because the game will need to slowdown for him just like it did with Brees.

All I will say about Bryce, please be patient or we’ll end up like San Diego.

Also, please stop trashing Burns.  Today I saw why they refusing to trade him.  Dude is a role model when cameras are not on him.  He always talks to everyone on defense, he brings total energy during defensive break.  Him and Brown are very very tight.  Burns also very active with the fans and responds to folks when they call his name.

So who do you think we’ll trade Young to where he’ll become great and who will be our Rivers?

[Shocker]

Agreed and we have to get him help but it is going to take multiple seasons to do this.  Sure we have a ridiculous amount of injuries right now but our depth is so weak we can’t compete.  If they retain Fitterer we are just adding more years to this rebuild.

Brees was a rd 2 pick 

he also moved extremely well in the Pocket 

I saw Brees at the Chargers. Young is not Brees.

Great post. I'm ashamed of how a large portion of this fan base has treated Bryce. Yet I guarantee you if/when he turns it around and develops into a franchise QB these same fans will be wearing his jersey.

I'm not even saying that it's a sure bet that he's going to work out, but you don't give up on the #1 pick in the draft after half his rookie season, especially when the team around him is so awful.

I hope you are right but Brees was slightly taller, heavier and had a bigger frame. By initial looks, Brees also had more zip in the ball too. 
I think the biggest issue most have is what the Panthers gave up to get Young. If he was a second round pick like Brees I do not think you would be seeing the same negative emotions. I also think if the Panthers stayed at 9 and picked Young most would not be as negative. 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Enough! Bryce ain't poo.

[LinvilleGorge]

Bryce is similar to Brees in that they both lack ideal height. But Brees is better at literally everything else, including height and overall size.

You don't pay a guy like an elite pass rusher because he talks to people on the sideline.

Good grief. What a disaster of a take.

If Bryce was a 2nd round pick he would've already been benched for Andy Dalton. That's just the sad truth.

Refresher of Brees' in SD -- just know that these are highlights, not lowlights.

Honestly this was a terrific post

I thought a big reason SD traded him was bc his shoulder got wrecked?

If Dalton was the starter this year the Panthers would be 4-4 or 5-3.

But do we have the HC/GM to capitalize? One thing Payton did in NOLA was prioritize guard play over tackles. Running this offense, you get the ball out quick and the Saints always put a very heavy emphasis on not letting pressure get to Brees up the middle. This offense needs a legit WR yes, but being 8 weeks in now it's clear our #1 priority after this season has to be shoring up the O-Line for next year
