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).

      Panthers Vs Bucs OFFICIAL THREAD

      By Achilles · Posted

      Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      By aloysius snuffleupagus · Posted

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
