Red Zone just picked as the Drive of the Day

Well crap, I guess I'm wrong. If Red Zone says it, it must be true. Pretty sure the HoF has already asked for Bryce's uniform as well.

It was an exciting way to finish the game, great drive by the whole team. Chuba has really progressed this year. ISM is a very intriguing player, not sure why he wasn’t featured earlier in the year. Defense, led by Brown again was great. 
 

Bryce had a good game. But floated a lot of balls, allowing the defense to close on the ball. I still don’t see him as a winning starer in the NFL unless he’s surrounded by superstars at every position. And btw, that doesn’t make me a hater, I just don’t see it. But I hope I’m wrong. Would be awesome if he was.

But today was a good day, great to see us win one.

What is really like to know is how many of the plays called were TB and how many did Bryce check into. This drive was similar to the one we beat the Texans on and thankfully both ended up as wins. I do however see a glaring issue in both games that we cannot afford to continually count on. Defense held up all 4 quarters. This will not and cannot continually be expected. The main things you build off any great drive like this or win is confidence. Like they said on the broadcast any time Bryce is given a chance to make decisions and not have a defender in his face in 2 seconds then he can try to make a play or attempt to throw a receiver open. Confidence is key to end the year whether we win or not. Then come the offseason and we build around a punishing rushing attack, play action and motion. Simple as that.

Wow. Actually a few good comments in this thread and not as many completely insane "hot takes".

Maybe there's hope for this forum after all.

Just like if a random person on the Huddle gives his hot take on a certain QB. Completely irrelevant.

Still we have a few people who are incapable of just being happy we won and need to spread their negativity everywhere.

You are pathetic.

That last drive was (dare I say) Cam-esque.

My ass.  Cam would have run it into the end zone and done a backflip on the way.

Objectively the best drive of the year. Was very surprised he could throw the ball at all in that weather. Hopefully it is a sign of things to come.

As a Bama grad, I’m a Bryce fan, and I hope he figures this thing out. I was pleased with that last drive. However, I still want to see more out of his passes. The ~20 yarder to Tremble to get off the goal line took forever to get to him, and the pass to Minot was just a wounded duck with a nice adjustment (granted, the rain may have caused the ball to come out funny).

I do hope Bryce and the team can build in this. 

All his balls take forever to get to where he wants them. I just don’t see how is arm is going to be able to get to where it needs be at this level

But keep your beer glasses on bros.  Think I will choose to recognize reality.  At best young is a tiny mediocre skilled back up qb at best.  May win a game or two here or there but not a franchise qb by any means.  he will never be the game changer that a team needs to get to or win a super bowl.

And yet here you are, responding yet again.

What elicited such a response? Awfully touchy.

That’s my concern as well. You would have to throw with unheard of anticipation to overcome that issue.

My biggest concern too. It's amazing to me that this issue wasn't hammered home in scouting reports. 

I know some folks here will say "I told you so" from before the draft (and originally I was a Stroud guy too). But Bryce was unquestionably going to be picked in the top 5, probably top 2. So everyone was wrong on this, no just the lucky Panthers.
