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

Man Bryce cant hold Brees jockstrap right now. Or any great QB for that matter.

I have been going back and watching a lot of cams rookie year games lately and cot damn let me tell you this poo is night and day from a QB talent perspective. Forget who had the better team.

Man, our fanbase really hates our QB. You can say that's not what it is, but that's exactly what's going on. If he sucks, he'll always suck and we can move on, but the quickness with which a lot of us gave up on OUR QB is astonishing to me. 

When you trade what we did to select a QB at 1 and our passing game looks as bad or worse than we did with Bridgewater Darnold or Mayfield this is what you get. What's astonishing to me is folks like yourself think people are required to watch this and clap like idiots.

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 don’t think I’d boo him at all, but we are 1-7 after being told in the offseason (before preseason games) that we’d be competitive, we traded away CMC and Moore for peanuts and we don’t even have our 1st round pick, which looks like our best pick since Cam. Being 1-7 after Rhule is really bad. It’s not surprising that there’s a ton of frustration because it doesn’t feel like when Cam started with us. I don’t care if Young might be good down the road, he lost the game for us yesterday against a mediocre team and the interceptions were bad. They felt like he was jumping and throwing to his check downs without being able to see them.

No question it was a bad game from Bryce - his worst of the season by far - but he's a rookie QB on a bad team and these type of games are going to happen. Yesterday was the classic example of a rookie QB on a bad team struggling; chicken or the egg? Yesterday was both.

Like I said, I'm not going to sit here and say that I think Bryce is 100% going to be a franchise QB, but I will say that the way a portion of the fan base is acting regarding him is embarrassing to me as a long-time fan. NO rookie QB should be written off halfway through his first season, especially when the team around him is this bad. And that's not even getting into the coaching situation.

Bryce has shown flashes despite all this, and that's what keeps me encouraged enough to think he could be our guy long-term. Maybe he won't be, but all I'm saying is we don't know yet and likely won't for a while.

Agreed. I’d love for him to blossom but we’ve got such large issues it’s disheartening as a fan. Not having what is now the #1 pick* in 2024 or our 2nd in 2025, we are well behind the 8-ball. The OL appears to have seriously regressed so it feels like we have no strengths. We’ve had so few draft picks because of our other trades as well, so very little young talent who could become impact starters. Maybe Mingo and that’s it.

*Arizona is 1-8 (no bye yet) but we win tiebreaker if we finish with same number of wins.

I’m really hoping yesterday’s game was just one of those games that all QBs have. But yesterday was a decisive victory for everyone who doubts Bryce as a long term starter. There is NO defending how he played yesterday. It’s one of the few games where I have to admit that Andy Dalton would have won that game. 
 

Ok, now I’m going back into hiding.

The Chargers gave up on Brees because he had a very significant shoulder injury, throwing arm no less.  He was also a free agent and they happened to draft Phillip Rivers the year prior.

This comparison couldn't be more off other than they both lack ideal height.  If the implication is Brees didn't light it up early on, that could be said of most rookies, but the tools were there for Drew.  Bryce is lacking the physical tools, being short is only one of his limitations.

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

 

LOL I'm 3 minutes in and Young has already proven he can't do half of that stuff. 

Brees scrambles away from DLinemen and hits WRs 30+ yards downfield in stride.

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

They didn't trade him - they offered him an incentives based contract because they weren't sure about his shoulder. 

The Saints offered him guaranteed money (and the Miami doctors wouldn't sign off on his shoulder).

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
