Its just nuts that his mechanics havent been cleaned up yet.  I mean if a moron like  me from new bern can see it how the fug can his coaches not?

They hid him in the preseason, sat him with an “injury” in week 2, and at least some wanted to bench him. 
 

honestly don’t think it’s the coaches.

Beats the heck out of me. Lol it showed on his tape when I watched it and it wasn't mentioned by anyone.

 

When I say show up, I mean 15+ times a game in college showing up.

It's Tepper. If it was up to Frank, he wouldn't have started game 1 or been named the starter to begin with. 

Well if it was up to Frank alone, I don't think he woulda been drafted to begin with... but I digress 

I don't think people actually understand how much he meddles with his coaching staffs and front office staff. 

 

Think Jerry Jones but worse because he gets into play call meetings

I think you need to give a rookie qb until Thanksgiving of year 2 before you can start labeling him a bust

He shoulda never been in the conversation for qb1 in the draft.  I mean I'm not a scout and only played oline in highschool but watching his tape at Alabama...everything shows up 100%. 

 

Bad footwork, below average arm, slight frame, inability to read front 7 and being able to slide the line to protect himself.  Inability to get the ball out on time for timing concepts on 3 and 5 step drops. 

 

I don't know what to say to anyone, I thought the staff woulda been able to fix the extra hitches, bad footwork and make progression on his line reading because of his intelligence... but....

Will Stroud and Tua have been the exception. 
Never draft QBs from Alabama, Ohio or USC. 
I know Caleb Williams is getting a ton of hype but the fact he is from USC would have me worried if we did have our first pick. 

Helmet scouting is so dumb. Texas Tech was a terrible place for QBs to become anything in the NFL until Mahomes came along. He probably got drafted lower than he should have because of that.

Depends on the qb. You think Clausen should of got another shot? Over Cam? Or should we not have drafted Cam at all so Clausen could get another year?

Ok so if everyone now agrees that he shouldn't have been drafted where he was, what's next? 

Are you open to seeing Bryce with a new coach in a new system and a little more talent, and see if he makes improvements in year 2? Or are you so convinced of his bustness that you believe no matter who we bring in as coach he's not the guy? If you were the owner what would you do? Would you draft a QB with our first pick in 2024 (2nd rounder), bring in the best FA QB, what?

While hindsight is an easy thing, we're not going to get a real indictment of Bryce Young's ability to be a franchise QB until we see who our next coach is.  I'm not going to argue the if he is or isn't.  @electro's horse did a great job breaking down his failures.  

But whoever the next coach is, we'll see one of a few things happen:

1. No good coach with options shows up - and it's kind of a repeat season because of a lack of scheme players.  Bryce will not last under this option.  A new coach will go elsewhere at QB to save their job, and even then probably get fired.

2. Good coach is able to come in and build a system around Bryce and he's more successful.  Then we forget about all these bad things!  Hahahahahaha..............................

3. Good coach comes in, decides they don't want to play Bryce because of reasons, and they get run off by tepper (along with another $50+ million spent) before the end of the season.

There are still a number of media folks who keep beating the drum that decision makers in the NFL think Bryce is a capable NFL QB and not to give up on him.  We'll see.  I don't know.  At this point, I have no idea what Bryce's future is with the Panthers, and the Panthers future.  It could go great, it could be poo.  It's going to depend on who is coaching Bryce next year.

    • Raptors blown out by Phoenix. Man this final stretch is gonna be crazy. Seeds 5-10 in the east are separated by 2.5 games… Hawks only team “hotter” than us, and I think they’re bound to come back down to earth with a pretty tough schedule to close out the season. We have some tough games too but ones that I think are very winnable, and still some very very easy games — which we have been winning consistently in 2026. Don’t think we’ve had a bad loss against a team we should beat since the Pacers in either very early January or late December
    • My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong
