The key to me is simple. He’s had time to actually get through progressions. 

He has some time, is getting comfortable, looks to have some chemistry with players outside of AT, and they are making good catches. Young was fired up on Sunday and his energy was contagious. I think Brown getting the running game going has helped the OL as well.

It’s not just that. He seems way more confident even under pressure. He’s making plays with his feet and tough throws on the move. This is the sort of stuff he did at Alabama and has shown flashes of in the handful of good moments in the first half of the season.

The biggest thing for me? He’s not playing scared down. He’s confident as hell. It’s not easy to win from behind but he’s done it twice already and almost three times.

It didn't hurt to be facing the leagues worst secondary. 

IDC, I will take it either way.

If nothing else maybe this will be a collective boost of confidence.

Even if it was, you’d expect a good QB to play well against a bad secondary, and he did. Fourth quarter was nearly flawless and that’s not normal against any secondary.

We will see how it goes the next couple of games. I would like a repeat of this, obviously. Maybe some indication that things are headed in a positive direction.

The Packers aren't actually THE worst secondary. They're one of about a dozen teams with a bad passing defense... I don't even know if they're the worst secondary we've faced yet..

They gave up almost 400 yds to baker just last week so they are Cleary in a slump atleast.

They're the 13 ranked pass defense. Only 3 300yd passing games against them. This was 1 of them

There he is, the #1 Bryce hater popping out of his cave to try and invalidate  an incredibly encouraging game. As everyone else is incredibly excited about what we saw and can hope for in the future, he clings onto his takes, desperately hoping for a Bryce pick 6 next week.

I don’t know that’s it’s Bryce progressing, so much that it’s a more competent Offensive scheme that allows for open receivers and better protection. Which in turn allows Bryce to do what he’s be known to do.

TBH there are a lot of factors that could be at play. Improved offensive scheme, improved QB play, improved receiver play, lightspeed terrible opponent, etc, etc.

Almost impossible to tell with the one data point. Let's see how these next two games go and see if some trends emerge.

This is the type of pay I hoped to see by mid season. I knew he would have his  struggles. I've been frustrated by the pick but would love for this to be a real growth

I think we would have seen it if other parts of the team were as stable as we thought coming into the season.. coaching, offensive line, receivers

    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
    • I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
