Bryce Young is historically bad, and he's regressing

[TN05]

First half of the season (1-5):
137/213 (64%), 1,202 passing yards (200 per game, 5.6 yards per attempt), 7 TDs, 4 picks, 4 fumbles

Second half of the season (0-6):
107/204 (52.5%), 990 passing yards (165 per game, 4.8 yards per attempt), 2 TDs, 5 picks, 4 fumbles

This is putrid. I don't think keeping Bryce on the field is going to help him develop at this point, there has been no improvement through 12 games

He should have been put on the shelf to sit and watch after the first saints game. He’d at least still have his confidence and this team would probably be in the middle of the NFC south race.

Yes, we know from all the other similar threads.  He's cooked

[frankw]

Dead last in YPA QBR and when accounting for the fact he has twice as many starts as the few QB's below him in passer rating he's basically around the same there too.

But we just can't evaluate him!

[CPF4LIFE]

Is it crazy to think the best qb in the south has been sitting on our bench all season?? 

[Retired_NCO]

Far too much hype on this young fella.  Gross exaggeration and certainly not of his doing. This season is historically awful. As for offense it is as bad as any since the Panthers inaugural season.  The asterisk that will also be attached to Bryce will be the travesty of draft capital that was exchanged.  That albatross awaits the panthers off-season and NFL Draft. Tepper and Fitterer took the bait.  And there is no way a new coach can be commanded to live and die with Bryce. He and his staff will demand their own autonomy and rightfully so. 

[LinvilleGorge]

He's not just regressing, he's regressing HARD. He was limited from the get go, but now he's limited and the NFL knows it.

[4Corners]

He sucks. Some of y’all are having a hard time accepting this. Sure, the plays could be better and there have been drops, but he looks like a big time bust that’s gonna set the franchise back a couple years.

This is exactly what terrible OL play, bad scheme, and no receiver separation can do to a QB.

 

He already had "unconventional" footwork in the pocket; now he is much more sloppy and bails quickly.  He is constantly expecting pressure and his pocket awareness clock is out of skew.

He is forcing passes and not patient with developing plays.  He is checking behind his back on play action expecting to be hit.

 

He may have struggled even with things going well around him; it's impossible to tell.  But his environment has harmed his development tremendously.

 

They need to fix it this offseason with every $$$ and draft pick they have or he will be lost forever (and maybe he was always destined to fail?)

[MechaZain]

Next year is make or break for Bryce and poor play in a system we won’t be using isn’t doing him any favors. Sit him and hope he can wash the stench of the season off. 

[Frank9999]

I am so sick of the Bryce apologists tbh, its time to admit he's been complete trash. MAYBE he improves next year but hes been nothing short of trash this season

I honestly think our offensive issues are more due to Bryce's issues than Bryce's issues are due to our offensive issues.

Hopefully that reads right.

The season tends to get tougher as it goes on. Opponents have more tape on bryce, and they have figured out his game. The question is whether Bryce has the wherewithal and resourcefulness to dig deeper and show what we haven't seen before. 

The answer is unfortunately a resounding no.

Ding ding ding!

That reads right and sounds right.
