It’s beyond time to bench Bryce.

I'm nearing a breaking point.

For a new QB, I can be sold that it could take some time.  You may only see flashes here and there, but it is not happening at any moment.  You can count with your own 2 hands, after 11.5 games, how many passes of his 366 throws this season have been even mildly highlight-worthy.  

And add on that this is the prospect that we traded the barn for?  That's what gets me.  I would be upset if this was even a 2nd or high 3rd.  It is beyond concerning.  Beyond.  

Physical constraints up the wazoo and nothing to show for.  All of these other crap teams with rookies are giving their dudes just as little time in the pocket. They really are. This is not some death gap we have.  

The Titans in particular have had a really big issue with the OL, an older Hopkins the only option, problems all over.   Heck, the Raiders OL has been pretty bad with an iffy running game and O'Connell has been pushing downfield really well.  The only rookie QB who has looked worse is Clayton Tune.  

Yes, the team is poorly built, but you have to be able to see SOMETHING.  Anything.  There is just nothing to show for from the #1 overall draft pick we traded way too much for.  

It's becoming such a bad situation.

He needs to keep playing. See how he does the rest of the way with a coach who actually moves on the sidelines and shows some interest in the game. I am no Bryce supporter but I certainly wouldnt write him off just yet either. He needs to be playing to see if he shows any signs of improvement at all from beginning to end of season

 I certainly wouldn't be crushed if the team made the decision to bring in another QB in 2024. That said, it's not all on Bryce.

The announcers have pointed out several times that the receivers are not getting separation and too many routes simply have them running 10 yards down field and turning around. The big play to Mingo on the 3rd down TD drive was one of the few routes that showed some imagination.  

We need a new passing philosophy and better route concepts.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
