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

[Jmac]

Brees is a first ballot HOF lock.

Young may not even be in the league four years from now.

High expectations on your part I would say.

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.

He wasn't even signing autographs at camp at first until I'm guessing some PR person got on him about it. I'm not sold on his aw shucks persona, while everyone during the pre draft was trying to bash CJ for his S2 score and coming from a single parent home etc.

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

They offered him a contract but it was incentive laden and pissed off Brees and they mutually agreed to part ways. Brees also said his shoulder injury helped him long run because he couldn't throw so all he did was work on his footwork. Brees has the exact same "tip toe" release Bryce has which he really mastered after the Chargers.

He had a terrible game, and cost the team the win. But one game doesn’t define the season, he can rebound Thursday. What I saw this game was he was rushing passes cause the pressure was getting in his head 

[panthers55]

Bryce needs to sit and watch. What was touted as his super power which was quick processing and decision making was serious lacking today. He looks scared when pressured and takes sacks when he could throw the ball away. Throwing two pick sixes on the same route is unexcusable

 Maybe he will end up great and no one  is abandoning him but honestly he regressed tonight against a defense that gave up 40 points  in its last 3 games. I think Bryce isn't going to get better until he sees how it should be done. Something he can do watching Dalton.

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

And our QB of the future wouldn’t be any better for it.

Absurd…no we wouldn’t.  Everyone loves the backup QB when u are losing.

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.

Oh no!  We might let him go and another team finds a way to develop a system around him that works perfectly for him while we draft another hall of famer in his place!

If that was actually on the table, no one here would give a poo about his struggles.  People are up in arms because we literally traded our car for gas money.  Brees was not a first round pick.  Brees was not a first overall pick.  Also don't recall Brees single-handedly losing games by repeated turnovers that should've never happened at any point in his career.  San Diego also gave up on him in part because he shredded his shoulder and they weren't sure he'd even be able to play anymore.  Bryce has one OK game through 8 games played.  I don't remember ever watching Brees in San Diego and thinking, "Damn, this guy sucks.  Hes blowing the game for them."  He looked average to good.  It just so happens pairing with Payton brought out the absolute best in him snd took him from where he was to all-time great.  But the difference there was that the baseline was already good.  The traits were already there.  The decision making was already there.  

Most games with Bryce, I don't see any similarities to SD Brees.  Brees looked like an NFL starter.  Bryce looks like he might barely be backup material most games.  There is a huge chasm between guys that win games and guys that lose them, and the delineation between the two is usually pretty obvious very early on...  Bryce has lost multiple games on his own this season, and (arguably) won one.  I didn't think he was a first-round pick in my estimation.  I thought his value at best was a mid-rounder.  Not only has he proven to not even be that level of player, but he has even looked worse than I ever would've anticipated because I figured at least his anticipation, accuracy, and mental abilities would make him solid, and those things haven't translated.

I appreciate the optimism, but this ship has sailed bro.  Bad is objectively bad.  For all the picks Peyton threw as a rookie, let me know if he threw two pick sixes in one game to one player because he couldn't see where he was throwing or because he lacked the requisite arm strength to get a throw out to the sideline in time and away from a defender.  It didn't happen.

He ain't better for this. Yeah its winning this division with dalton

[frankw]

This is the lowest form of coping with the pick. Constantly comparing this kid to hall of famers has led us to this point. Doubling and tripling down is simply insane. Log out!

Not with all the self imposed meltdowns we have. Weak O.L. And killing every drive with penalties. It appears this team is not well coached, fundamental errors.

At this rate, I'm not 100% sure he's still on the roster when Chicago uses our 25' second.

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

 

Drew Brees' career was likely made by the change in illegal contact in 2004. He blew up right after that change. Not being able to rough up receivers and being forced to let them run free allowed his best traits to shine.
