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

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
