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

Half-way clean pockets and open receivers have been few and far between also. Let's tell the truth.

I didn't say that. I'm simply asking for folks to honestly point out more than a few plays he's made that you wouldn't expect a basic NFL roster caliber QB to be able to make. That's the problem.

I don’t know when most people on this forum became a bunch of fuging whiners. 
 

it’s clear as day that we have a significant number of problems on offense. People much more adept at analyzing football than any of us  have consistently shown that.

BUT…BUT…WAAAA Bryce young isn’t CJ stroud. Who cares. We made the pick, he still has a tremendous amount of potential to be a great qb. He shas had some bad games and some good ones. But let’s just put it all on Bryce young.

Colts had the #32 pass defense and Bryce threw 3 picks, he must be the next Jimmy Clausen!!!! Just chill people. Dude is 7 games into his career. 

These takes are just as if not more obnoxious than the posts being complained about. Claiming some level of superiority because you lick boots and let people poo on your head while gladly asking for more does not make you pure. No one is required to simply be happy to be here and have a franchise when we're the biggest joke in the league.

We scored the most points of the season with Andy Dalton and the same OL and WR's on the road.

You guys want to throw everything and the kitchen sink into the blame pile. I get it. It's tough to accept our #1 pick is playing so poorly. Cope if you must lash out and poo posts if it makes you feel better my guy.

Ok. 

Dalton is a better player right now, I have no issues with that.  

Bryce also his problems.  No issue saying that.  I'm just sick of there not being a real discussion about the team/personnel/etc. The other poo makes a huge difference.  A QB cannot succeed here currently.  Don't care who it is.

I poo all the ignorance.

 

So like I said, this chart is nice.  CJ's offense has some real talent at getting the ball deep and he takes advantage.   Bryce's offense has nothing and he isn't helping them either.   

It's easy to cherry pick.

Dalton is trash. Our #1 pick should be at minimum a push in comparison.

You say you want to talk about all the other factors and stop only critiquing the QB.

Then turn around and suggest CJ Stroud is playing with elite WR's.

Sir. His leading WR last weekend had barely 900 career yards over 5 seasons entering the game. You are coping hard.

He's made a few very good plays off script, and has thrown into some tight windows. You're acting like he hasn't done anything. The point is that you want to give him an NFL caliber O-line and better weapons in order to see more of those plays. At this point, he's looking kinda like a chicken with his head cut off, somewhat frenetic too much of the time, and the origin is really below par O-line play and no one that really scares anyone on the opposite side of the ball.

Stroud is outplaying Bryce. It's not close.  I'm not arguing that.

 

His situation(scheme, OL play, WR play) is 100000x better than Bryce's currently.   If you don't accept that, you are being willfully ignorant.

He's made a handful of really nice plays. He's made a lot more worrisome plays. There's a reason why it's becoming a topic of conversation even among the national media. Odds are at this point that he's gonna be a bust.

I think Stroud has better coaching for sure. Which is a damn shame considering we didn't even give DeMeco Ryans a sniff and our social team spent the whole offseason hyping up these dinosaurs on our staff.

His OL is better but not as much as some people claim. Our defense has been up and down at best and we roughed up CJ a good bit in our matchup. How did all that elite talent he supposedly is surrounded with look? The difference is even if he has an off game Stroud has the arm talent to make any throw he wants without putting his entire body into it. CJ is simply more naturally gifted. Everyone got to see that with their own two eyes on his game tape and now he is doing the same thing in the NFL.

I think you're leading with emotion instead  of logic and we've reached an impasse on this discussion. Enjoy the game tonight.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm fairly sure that most rookies, even some HoFers are closer to Bryce Young's level of production and understanding than C.J. Stroud's. I'd also bet that their lines weren't as porous as ours. 

You've missed Brandt's (and others') whole point.

"Elite talent?" 😆 He doesn't necessarily have elite talent, but it's proven to be a helluva lot better than ours. Any NFL analyst will tell you that. His weapons are legit.

Ryans declined our request for an interview. What does that tell you?

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
