I want to be proven wrong about Bryce Young, today is the first real step

[TN05]

313 yards. 60%+ completion. 2 TDs, no turnovers, game was only lost because of a poor defensive performance and officiating. After that first quarter Bryce was routinely making tight throws in places only the receivers could get them. When under pressure, he didn’t cave and often improvised for impressive results.

This is what I’ve wanted to for all year. We’ve seen flashes in a few other games, but this is the first time Young has absolutely wowed me. Here’s to many more!

Bryce kicked ass and lead us to victory today. We “lost” because the NFL played storymode. He absolutely did enough to win. 
 

Today was just a pathetic display by the NFL in producing a product that the fans deserve. Shame on them. Truly disgusting and pathetic performance by the officials.

Same here. Huge step towards proving me wrong. He’s definitely growing on me. Had we had more time, I think he would’ve pulled out a win. That last drive he was cookin’

It’s the best game I’ve seen from a Panthers QB since 2018.

Make sure you're keeping receipts on all the Bryce haters in this forum. They've been quiet today xD

[Shocker]

Lots of posters choking on crow in here

It was exactly the type of performance he needed in a lost season with his back against the wall. I’m hoping he can build on it over the next two weeks but I’m still skeptical. 
 

good to see growth today and he takes some licks and just keeps on getting up. Have to admire and appreciate that about him.

I'd be thrilled to be wrong. I'm always thrilled to be wrong when it works out for the best for the Panthers. I didn't want Luke in the draft. I didn't want Beason in the draft. 

Bryce working out is obviously much better for the Panthers than him busting.

Agree with this, really fun game today. Now we need to see it again, until he can string a few together I’m not sold, but hopefully he can.

He’s already shown us flashes of great stuff through the season but people dismiss it cause it’s not the type of stuff they wanted to see.

That being said there’s no reason to say he’s arrived after today.  Just like there was never a reason to declare him a bust after 2 games.  This story is far from told but im looking forward to seeing how the rest of it plays out.

I have never been compelled to rewatch a Panther loss but I am very tempted. Smokin my Christmas butt and brisket tonight so I think the stars are aligned just right.

He played well. What it looked like to me in general, overall, is that he threw the ball with people on the target. Stuff that people were claiming was covered before (“where do you expect him to throw it?”), he was targeting. Finally. And completing which was the best part. 

I still have many doubts but he did look better.

Big picture: I mean, great, yes, they scored 30 and the D wasn’t in on it.

This loss seems to fit as a win in people’s minds so it qualifies for stuff you think and say and hear after wins. One of them is the bad stuff doesn’t seem as bad when you win. And that is true. Easier to live with. But it is still there.

That team Green Bay fielded on D wasn’t very good. So what this means who knows. At least the kid had a decent game. We’ll soon see if it was progress.

Refs though… have to agree with those complaining about that lost challenge of the deciding play. Not a catch.

I gave him props in the post after the game. I damn sure wanted him to be good even though I wanted Stroud. The 1st half of the Miami game gave me some optimism that came crashing down until the last drive in the Hou game. Today after the 1st Qtr was No 1. Pick material and what all fans want to see consistently! Good game from the kid Salute. He builds on this and not go backwards we 'may' have something solid.

I still believe Stroud was the better pick, but Bryce working out is the best thing for the Panthers at this point.  Let's hope he can build on this and continue to get better.  This game at least gives me hope.
