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

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
