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

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.

I do not understand fans booing Bryce.

 

He was drafted to come play here by the team

 

Boo the owners and coaches and others who made the choice to bring him here

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.

Nope. I promise you that won’t happen in my case. And has nothing to do with Young. 

It would be nice if your other prediction wasn’t wrong.

Drew Brees would be a light heavyweight, Bryce is a welterweight. That’s a huge difference 

Yeah. People are just determined to pump him up. 

Reality is, well I looked at the weight difference between Brees and Young and then between Brees ands Prototypical QB size, and it is about the same. 

Meaning that if you give Brees what you are giving Young in the weight and height “inflation” estimate or comparisons when you make them between Young and Brees, it would pretty much be enough to give Brees prototypical NFL QB size.

So it is not an insignificant exaggeration. 

 

Watch people come in and totally not understand this, 3, 2, 1….

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. 

Absolutely. I understand a long odds bet. I don’t understand betting that same long odds proposition as if it were even money.

No he is not!?

He doesn’t have half the arm strength that Brees has. That pass to Hurst down the sideline took 10 minutes to get there. Drew Brees also didn’t panic and throw the ball up randomly each time he was going to get hit. Hell 3 or 4 times this year, he has gotten hit and the ball goes flying out of his hands. (Lions, Saints, Falcons, Vikings) 

His been picked on 2 or 3 screen passes this year. And the rest are because he can’t see over the middle. He sucks. It’s okay to admit it.

in the stands Sunday I heard the most people go at Frank.   Just during the normal flow of the game. 

only folks I heard go at Bryce were just the pick 6 type moments.  Which is normal.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      By rayzor · Posted

      i am anxious to see what he does with this new situation. i think the schedule is about as favorable as you could hope for the first half of the year. i don't expect a dramatic and quick  improvement, but i do expect improvement.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By rayzor · Posted

      truthfully, when did he have time last year to throw it down field? plays took far too long to develop and the OL gave him no time.  i think we are basing far too much of bryce's assessment on a situation that didn't work out in his favor at all. it was probably the worst situation a rookie QB could have found himself in. the only i can think of who had it worse was David Carr, who had an even worse rookie season than Bryce by a significant margin statistically.  i think most would realize that carr was probably a better QB than his record would show, but he was shell shocked in his first few years because they did nothing to try to help him out. 3 of his 5 years in houston he led the league in sacks. i don't think he would ever have been an elite QB, but had he been in a better situation he probably would have had a better and longer career. point is, i don't think we saw everything that bryce is capable of because he was limited by the situation. but i understand the pessimism most have, because all we really have to go on was what we saw last year. that's why i wait to see what happens with a better situation. i just don't think you can give an accurate assessment of him based on last year. it wouldn't be fair for any rookie, tbh, but for one whos situation was so fugged up i think it's even more unfair. had nothing changed in the situation, you could probably expect more of the same. that's just not the case, though. a whole lot changed for the team and for his situation and i think for the better. it just makes sense that if we improved the situation that he will improve.
