What if, and hear me out here, Bryce Young is not actually some cerebral genius QB

I would forever hate Bryce and Tepper if I was the S2 owner.

They completely destroyed that meme test.

I was a fool for hoping that BY would turn this poo around. I don't care if Tepper builds a time machine and gets 2007 Brady to play for the Panthers. I am done expecting good things to come from this organization.

To be fair the owner of that test got ahead of all this and said Stroud's results were not low when that whole media storm was happening.

Bryce did carry Alabama his last year, but the concern many of us had with Bryce was if the way he played in College would translate or not, e.g. holding the ball forever and then make something happen. It hasn’t so far, but hopefully it will eventually, but I have serious doubts. The same way I have some doubts about Caleb Williams (even though he is obviously physically superior to Bryce).Spectacular plays are fun to watch, but if you can’t do “regular plays” on an ongoing basis, spectacular ones doesn’t matter, and you won’t make it in the NFL. And that’s why Mays is the easy #1 QB in the draft next year.

Johnny Football carried Texas A&M as well.  Didn't necessarily translate to the pros though.  Off field troubles aside.

Here me out.......................1-8 with Young on a lousy team.

What would the record be with Stroud on this same lousy team?

1-8????

or maybe a few more wins?

There is your story. 

Yea maybe, but we would see why he was picked #1 and would not be jealous of Houston picking Bryce cause he would look the same there as here

See, this is important right here.

Average QB's make the routine plays.  Good QB's make the routine plays look easy.  Great QB's make the routine plays look easy and then they stack spectacular plays on top of it.

Everyone can decide for themselves which of those best describes BY this year.

They got lucky as hell with Stroud knowing they would have taken Young if they had the first pick. Absolutely lucked into something spectacular and then lucked into Tank Dell again as well later. Im jealous as can be of the Texans this year.

Looking back now I think the Texans were bluffing on Young. Doing that made Carolina want him that much more.

Two quick things, Alabama was not stacked his last year. The only thing keeping them from being Alabama mediocre was Bryce. I watched Bryce be amazing several times when they had to have it.

two. Bryce may be mediocre, but it is impossible to tell because we have so many different issues.

Lol.  Bama had 10 players drafted last year and probably the same next draft.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
