He doesn’t have the arm strength for the zip and or the height for the field vision. 

This is what I find so wild. Mainly because this was not some hidden combination.  It was there for all to see.

Also have to factor in his unconventional shotgun dropback and mechanics effecting the velocity. The collective trust across all platforms/fans/media/etc. that he just had “it” and those intangibles overrode the physical limitations is what is just amazing. Reading evals retroactively is pretty funny — minus a few near spot on ones from the Athletic.

Some Lessons learned should definitely be coming from this.

Sorry but I’m not giving up on someone based on one freaking season. How many guys in the HOF had terrible rookie seasons?

That's about the size of it. Plus, it's stupid to literally root against him if you're a Panthers fan. I can see possibly wanting to acquire competition for him, but reveling in his seeming failure is beyond the pale.

Like I’ve said there is weird vitriol from fans with Bryce b/c of his height. If he was 6’5 and playing the same the criticism would not be nearly as loud.

The book is out on him. The line sucks and he has no weapons. While I think there have been flashes he also largely hasn’t been a floor raiser. You can’t judge him with this poo show and he is gonna be the guy next year. Weird how some fans have pivoted to rooting for this kid to fail.

New coach will want to move on from him after next season. He's got next year and next year only to prove himself. 

Any HC that comes in and says "Yeah I'll give Bryce a year" absolutely does not have my backing. 

It's clear as day he's not an NFL QB. Go bring in a Free Agent and stop the bleeding.

If he was 6'5" and still didn't have an NFL arm fans would hate him too.

I think most fans are now rooting for him to fail catastrophically so the Front Office will move on from him quickly now. There is no hope with Young as the starting QB.

Yeah people get way too vested about their opinions of players. We have people disappearing and hiding when he looks good and boasting when he looks bad and vice versa. Everyone should want him to develop into a good QB. It’s what’s best for the franchise. However if he doesn’t we just move on from him in 2025. It is what it is.

I take issue with people who find pleasure when we don't do well. I think it's too early to call Young a bust and that INFURIATES some people. There is a certain group here that only crawl out of the woodwork to troll and poo post when things go wrong.

No one is taking pleasure in this, we are all fuging pissed.  How can anyone see people being mad about how their team screwed up the number 1 pick as them being happy is beyond me.

My question is how did this team get this evaluation so wrong? Why did they think a guy who’s 5’9 190 lbs with no arm strength was worthy of the top overall pick and to trade up to get there? how did this happen? lol 

Houston would have taken him if we didn't. Stroud would not have the season he is having in Houston if he was here. Fitterer gave Bryce the worst oline and receiver group in the NFL to work with and it's not even close. How did they get the evaluation of Ickey so wrong. He looks like Byron Bell out there.

Give him until the end of year 3. If he doesn't have it by then, you can move on.

He’s a timid skinny 5’7 kid, it’s so plainly obvious that it won’t work. No need to waste 3 years of our lives here. Bring in a normal sized tough QB to compete(take over).

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This And with possibly needing to replace Bryce next year and a deep QB class, I do not hate the idea of moving far enough back to pick up another 1st rounder next year out of the deal. I wouldn't have said that a week ago, but I also never expected us to land 3 big FA's at our 3 biggest positions of need like we have, it totally changes things.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.
