Good point by Cam Wolfe that Bryce just too California laid back in the huddle/getting the calls in for them to run effective pre snap motions. That combined with his lazy dropbacks/crazy footwork/hopping in the air to throw is gonna be tough to fix. Almost like you just want a completely different QB

I literally made the point predraft multiple times that Bryce seemed too “California” to me and got poo’d like hell.

Please don't turn my thread into a 2 person pissing contest lol we have enough of those already

Don't worry 😄

It's an interesting topic, honestly. A lot of stuff has come out since the firing (as tends to happen) that's beginning to help explain things we'd seen prior to this point.

Yeah that with Reich seeming completely unmotivated and I'm assuming Tepper being adamant about playing Bryce even though he doesn't seem ready has been a bad scenario. Judging by the Tabor press so far he's not trying to do anything drastic either lol. I don't blame him really, he's just like I'm gonna ride it out and coach special teams again next year somewhere, not my problem.

Can you imagine, Young telling a Sean Payton or Bill B,  ‘nah man, I ain’t doing a wristband’

Sweet Jesus

It was Thomas Brown who said it, dude. He doesn't work for Panthers PR.

Bruh, Tepper slings PR and sells narratives to the masses of how they want things viewed. Fitterer does.  Frank does.  Brown does.  Tabor will.  Coaches  are the ones that do it the most because that’s who you listen to

this is why you are pointless to talk with. I say these folks are slinging PR nonsense and painting images of how they want things to be perceived (and it’s rarely the actual truth) and you respond with they don’t work in the actual PR deparment lol.  Wut?!! 

go ahead and twist this into something else too lol.  I broke my rule but couldn’t let that one slide lol

Since smitty got on the payroll, Ive basically stopped listening. 

Dam shame cause I enjoyed most of his takes. I even remember he was on an island about some white WR named kupp being the best WR in the draft....

I don’t know where this is coming from, but Steve Smith seems like the last guy who would you could put under a thumb.

Or either of them letting Bryce run O-line meetings during training camp? lol. 

I wonder how much truth is in all that stuff though.  I mean there was a massive blitz by this team to paint a narrative not just on Bryce but the team coming into this year.  It was borderline comedy what they were presenting when you put it all together

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
