What a game by Bryce

Congratulations to Panthers QB Bryce Young who was in complete control of  the offense today with his 312 yd., 2 td, 0 turnover performance.

Bryce  showed today that he is capable, given time,  of developing to the point of becoming the N.F.L. Q.B. we thought he could be before the last N.F.L. draft.

Well now that you mention Sam. His new low performance today could serve as a cautionary moment to us about not getting too wrapped up in individual games for a young QB. He has at times this season looked like a promising possible franchise QB for them. Now look at how low he's sunk. Sounds a bit like a rerun of Taylor Heinicke from last year.

Let's see how Bryce and this offense perform the next two games. Hopefully we continue to move forward and move the ball well. But let's not kid ourselves. It is possible we see another step back to some degree.

It’s a cautionary tale all around. Crying bust too early is equally as silly as claiming they are the answer too early. I’ve been for waiting and seeing how he turns out. It’s ok for fans to get excited when he shows some promise though. We were just talking about how happy we would be with a TD or two. Well we got 4 so let’s just be happy and see what happens next week.

He looked great! Excited to see him grow even more. He clearly has a unique ability to show up big in comeback runs when things around him are at least functional. 

That 2021 game vs Auburn. The kid is great in crunch time.  In a league where the point diff is usually one score or less that’s great attribute to have.

Admittedly didn't watch every play. Did BY answer the arm strength questions today or are we sure he still doesn't have an NFL arm?

Not really in terms of range, but after the first quarter or so his throws were tighter and he showed more anticipation. His TD throw to Chark was top-tier as well, best pro throw he has made IMO.

Just to be clear, did he show adequate arm strength? Has he dispelled the noodle arm title or no? 

peep the clip above. That’s not a weak arm throw. Does it dispel it?  Depends on the person I guess.

He made another similar throw in this game and one last week as well in terms of placement on the boundary… all 3 very similar.  Throw to Chark was on the move tho.  They arent oohh ahh flashy things but those kind throws on the reg can stack wins.

At the risk of being brigaded by the Bryce Knights for simply commenting on what is on the film, he still has to put a lot of body into it those throws to get the ball 30 yards down field with moderate zip. It was excellent placement, one of his best so far, but doesn't say much about pushing the ball truly down or across the field since this was hash to near sideline.

Again, this is just responding to the direct question about arm. Lot of other positives overall after the first quarter and that TD to Chark was truly a sight.

The problem is we were spoiled by Cam who had a howitzer and was one of the best athletes to ever play the position. By that standard, lot of ppl who are panthers fans will never be happy with BYs arm. But to specially answer your question, yes he has all the arm needed to make NFL throws and showed it today. You’re never going to get the 55 yard off balance wrist flick from him…. And that’s ok.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
