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 TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
