There are people who simply do not believe in Bryce Young. That is unfortunate but expectations and reality have not met. We can't have productive threads discussing our #1 pick because of that but also because of the folks who want to act like they carried him in a womb for nine months and turn a win where we scored 9 points into a platform to announce he's finally arrived. You guys did the same thing after the Texans game and how did that work out? Earlier in the season all the talk was about how Andy Dalton played well against a lesser defense and how Bryce struggled against the better defenses and then that narrative went up in flames. He is expected to perform against teams like the Falcons. They are garbage. The NFC South as a whole is garbage. This used to be one of the toughest divisions in football.

Next season will tell us all we need to know. For now we just need to see any semblance of improvement.

lol what’s the point of this? He has been officially measured for height at the combine. He is just over 5’10” which is still very small. No need to try to over exaggerate something that is already proven. 

The biggest thing IMHO is eye level not pure height. We know he measured 5’10” but he’s got a large noggin. Look at Hutchinson to Stroud. That’s 4 inches of eye level. The drop from Stroud to Young should be 1 inch more for 5 inches. Young’s eyes are right below Stroud’s Adam’s Apple.

I wouldn’t worry about pictures and angles when we have actual measurements. Regardless he is small, we all know this. I’m curious to see if he bulks up any this offseason.

It looks like Bryce is as polarizing as Cam was. But in a polar opposite way. Interesting.  

With Cam, if you did like him you were ridiculed. 

With Bryce, if you don't like him you are ridiculed.  You cannot have one positive thing to say about him no matter how small.

Interesting.

Since this photo was taken, Bryce added at least three inches to his hair. His head now looks like a pineapple in order to hide his 5'8"-to-5'9" stature. With their rose tinted glasses now shattered, I bet this photo is a real gut punch to many former Bryce fans.

So now Bryce is growing his hair out to hide his true stature... just when you thought the takes couldnt get any dumber this one comes along.  Dear Lord help us all.

We also have a guy claiming the Falcons went into all out prevent defense on his final drive. You know up by 1, in the rain, against a rookie, with over 5 minutes left. That’s apparently the reason he went 5/5 and got the game winning FG. There are plenty of things to hate on him for but there is no need to fabricate any…

Except that you're conveniently ignoring that I said contain/prevent, which has more to do with the way the rush is handled, as in pressure was not the priority. It's literally right there on the film, 4 DLs standing around waiting for Bryce to run until they changed after the Chark catch. I even linked the contrasting 4-man rush where Campbell got his sack earlier to illustrate the clear difference.

But by all means, please feel free to keep misrepresenting my words and ignoring what the Falcons actually did and how it benefitted Carolina.

You really aren’t helping yourself. The DL got tired in that grinding game in the rain. Our OL holding blocks for 2 seconds doesn’t validate your complete nonsense. Prevent wasn’t ran on that last drive man. Give it up or keep digging your hole deeper. Either way it’s entertaining to me.

That was 1 and like 4 plays into the drive right after Atlanta had just had a 6-minute drive. Atlanta and Carolina had split TOP until that point. You're the one not helping yourself here, and you are AGAIN ignoring that I'm referring to the DL - it's on the film, plain as day. At this point you're the only one still arguing against it, and you're flat out wrong.

It's on the film. Arguing with what is on the film is just dumb. Accept it and move on.

You are dug in deep with your prevent defense nonsense. Again you were shown pictures of 5 man rushes, 10 in the box yet you cry film. Keep believing what you want to believe. It’s just wrong.

Jesus Christ, you're in denial. I'm done and you're acting like a moron that didn't actually watch the video of the plays. Hint: if you had, you wouldn't be saying this. Screencaps don't show the play in motion.

Nothing more to say here. You have nothing but a continual twisting of my words into something inaccurate since you're just flat out wrong.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
