Kyle Brandt tells people to "pump the brakes" on calling Bryce Young a bust

No way!  Didn't you know that an entire player's story is told in less than a full season!?

The reality is that the Panthers look like poo.  Not even a good solid log.  Instead, they look, feel and smell like something that happens after a hot day of eating tacobell and hot dogs from a gas station all day.  We are pretty horrible.

Bryce hasn't been as advertised - he can't carry the entire team on his back.  While some would love to get Doc Brown's time machine to redo draft night - the reality is we have to deal with him and support him the best the team can.  Bryce isn't a bust.  He's a rookie.  I do think that Bryce has tools to be a very good QB, but he needs help.  He's not getting much right now.

We need to see two years.  This year should be all about developing Bryce.  Next year needs to be the year we make progress.  Or else we'll be back looking for a coach, watching college QBs, and having lost even more time as a fan.

I do think it's too early to definitively call him a bust but it's also fair to acknowledge that it's trending that direction. I'd have a lot more hope if he was showing more traits that were translating. He just doesn't look the part and I don't mean just his size. His arm. His athleticism. The plays that make you think "okay, that was special". There's a handful of plays that give you hope but there's a mountain of plays that make me say "ugh, this guy ain't it". The fact that we're already having these "is he a bust?" conversations already kinda says it all in terms of how he's looked so far.

Does not matter really what you call him because he is screwed either way. He isn't good enough to overcome the ownership, FO and coaches and nothing is going to magically improve this offseason with the same people in charge. 

Ok. Now trade him for what they spent. I'll wait on his current value. Nothing definitive but a sure gauge of which way that is going.

He had a bad game on Sunday. OK, it happens. Look at his best and it's a huge let down to very concerning. Combine that with the fact he is already screwed regardless and none of this is surprising.

Agree. I’m sick of hearing comparisons to historical outliers. Aikman, Elway, Brees, Manning. Those guys are among the best to ever play the game. There’s nothing to compare and it’s really irrelevant to this discussion.

I agree but that includes the other QBs from Bryce's class. Everyone's situation and development timeline is going to be different. Point is half of a rookie season isn't enough to draw conclusions about any quarterback whether that's Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
