If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck...it's a duck.

You give him weapons. At this point that's all you can do. Get some elite level talent on offense and hope he becomes serviceable.

Goff shows benefits from a scheme and offense that elevates his play. Purdy is also a very good example of that.

Young can be like that too. That is the only way the Panthers can salvage this team.

That will never change the fact that the value we have given up for Young was not worth it and very idiotic. For the value of DJ Moore, 2024's first overall pick, to only get decent level play from your QB in the right conditions is pathetic. 

The value given up dictates that the return should include a QB who elevates the team around him. Young fails at that at the NFL level. Stroud or Richardson (for his short stint) have shown to elevate their conditions and would have been more worth it than Young's impact.

I think it will actually be better if young is terrible instead of average. Our owner and front office are so inept and stupid that if young is average they will give him the biggest contract in history. Better if it’s an easy decision for them. Of course we all hope he becomes great….lol that ain’t happening.

Average is a curse unless you're able to put together a supporting cast like the Dolphins or Niners have. You're better off if the guy busts. You might dupe yourself into sticking with average and paying him like he's a dude like the Giants did with Daniel Jones.

The best thing to do now is the obvious complete clean out of the front office and coaching staff (I would 100% interview Evero if he’s up for it).

Then continue to build the team in FA and draft followed by an OPEN QB competition. Bryce has to earn his spot. If he does, good for him, if he doesn’t, so be it. That’s how you win the team back and set yourself up for the future. The you go new QB in the draft in 2025.

Yep, it’s so toxic to keep starting a player who gives you no chance to win and worse than the backup. Everyone in the building knows it and it’s ruining this franchise. Get young the fug off the field!

I absolutely agree. This needs to be undeniable. 
 

even as bad as things are now, there are still people that aren’t convinced. I can explain why they aren’t, broadly, but it’s unethical for me to talk about people specifically. 
 

the best thing for teppers personal development would be for this Bryce situation to get even more dire, however that is.

I doubt extremely seriously that we draft another QB this year but we should consider it. And we should bring in a solid vet like Jacoby Brissett or Tyrod Taylor or Gardner Minshew and have a legit QB competition in camp. You can't just hand the job to Bryce again after this disaster of a season, massive investment sunk or not. If you want any locker room buy in you gotta make him earn it.

The Jets brought in Aaron Rogers and told Zack Wilson to try not to get splinters in his arse.  He was the #2 overall pick.  Granted, they did try to give him a second year, but it was obvious very early on that season they were ready to move on.

I say we do this a year earlier.  Let's not waste 2024 to see if Young can look like a NFL starting QB. We still have Dalton for the season.  If, BIG IF, a QB falls to #33 that is worthy of the pick...pull the trigger.  In other words, no reaching.  It will be a waste of a roster spot to keep 3 QBs, but oh well.

A legit QB competition too.  No, Young did NOT beat out Dalton in camp.  Tepper wanted Bryce starting game #1 ready or not.  Obviously he was not.

Bryce has never been accurate on deep throws. During his best statistical year at Alabama, Bryce completed only 36.1% of passes 20 yards or longer. That is freaking atrocious. For comparison, Tua's completion rate at Alabama on passes 20 yards or longer was 57.1%, and Mac Jones' was 58%. 

Young's deep ball accuracy is not gonna suddenly and miraculously improve in the NFL, which begs the question: how in the world did our evaluators and scouts miss this giant red flag? I thought Tepper prides himself on using analytics, so how did they miss this?

 

20-yard throws Comp. Att. % Yards Y/A Y/C Drop
2021: Young 10 33 36.1% 416 12.6 41.6 9%
2020: Jones 29 50 58% 1,279 25.6 44.1 8%
2019: Tua 17 35 48.6% 659 18.8 38.8 3%
2018: Tua 24 42 57.1% 944 22.5 39.3 2%

Wow, how do you not see or look at this as a scout and be like no way! I mean he was missing wide open guys down field with protection today over and over! It was abysmal!

This O is a unit devoid of talent and that needs to be address at any and every opportunity by the new coach and GM.  Regardless of who the QB is, that unit needs major attention.  Whether or not Tepper can get the right football people in place and if he can let THEM do their job, is the sticking point.  I personally don't think Tepper can help himself and at the end of the day, all he sees are dollar signs.  Regardless of his negligence, he's seen the value of his investment increase.

I saw his footwork and off schedule/timing throw issues as well as him bringing pressure on himself and I'm not an NFL scout. 

 

He wasn't close to being my #1 qb in this draft. He was 3rd and I'm questioning that now. 

 

I said it during the draft lead up, you can't trade to #1 and take Young. It had to be Stroud or AR

Young is so bad I don't even think he would look really good with good weapons... Maybe after an offseason he'd be just OK, but it's hard to imagine him ever being worth what we gave up...

My cynicism has reached a point where I'm feeling like the one bright spot is I feel he near guarantees us the first pick in the draft in 2025 because of how bad he is.  Which I hate for him and the team, but...

9 TDs to 14 TOs

5.3 YPA (2nd lowest in NFL history behind J Russell)

58.5% completion

183 passing ypg

I gotta wonder when the broader media will start to see it's not just a situational thing.  He's playing downright bad football.  

They still can't get over their previous narrative that this guy is some type of football savant. It's embarrassing watching them just keep repeating the "Bryce will be fine" mantra. Bryce will be fine based on what? Aside from pre-draft opinion what is anyone seeing on an NFL field to cling to?

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
