Have you seen any of his press conferences? He can't string a sentence together without a bunch of um, um, ums. 

I keep seeing this, and he does do that a lot...then again, most people do. I've recorded myself preparing for speeches and I'm always stunned at the number of y'knows/kind ofs/ums that I use. It's actually embarrassing but I can't be fussed (nor have the time) to do Toastmasters. 

Bryce should do Toastmasters or something like it...but only after he get coaching from someone like Drew Brees (who Tepper should throw everything at to be his private full-time coach).

Then again, he is a generation alpha kid, so he might indeed focus on Toastmasters.

The coverage of Bryce Young leading up to the draft was incredibly dishonest. No one was willing to tell the truth about his size, toughness or question his leadership leadership skills over fear of it being labeled discriminatory towards small people. It’s very hard to earn the respect of your teammates as the smallest guy in the locker room. Only a handful of mainstream guys even spoke about this stuff, Keyshawn Johnson was one of them. Meanwhile Stroud and Levis, who had all the typical traits, were portrayed as these bumbling idiots. I’ve noticed this trend in life where people’s weaknesses are made out to be strengths in the name of inclusivity. The fact that Tepper couldn’t see through this is a major red flag. 

Body diversity and inclusion is the latest thing with the professional management class and the holier-than-thou jet-set shareholders.

Stop blaming the receivers. They've been NFL-open plenty of times. They're not responsible for Bryce's poor throwing mechanics, poor timing (stemming from his atrocious footwork), poor processing, poor arm strength, poor accuracy, and his inability to throw receivers open. 

Bryce's poor play is directly responsible for the perceived underperformance by our receivers, O-line, and in other aspects of the game. 

Bryce is the problem.

 

Nah, Bryce is A problem. 

I mean, that's just straight up gaslighting and lying to act like our trash WRs and scheme aren't their own issue.   OL gets a little tougher to figure out because their are just countless plays where the ball should be coming out and doesn't.  What occurs after that becomes a mixed bag. 

and you got a real bad plan if you all you offer your rookie QB...is occasionally having a WR get NFL open.  And that's all the rookie has had.  I do struggle to decide which is worse though, the WRs or the scheme/plays.

The frequency of ums is a lot higher after losses than after (the two) wins. That's my point. When he's under some kind of duress, his speech deteriorates alarmingly. It's normal for a person's speech to deteriorate when under duress, by the way, but not to the extent that Bryce exhibits. Other QBs after a tough loss would look angry or subdued, but they could still string together terse but coherent sentences to express their disappointment and frustration. Not Bryce though, he was often on the verge of crying, with his voice trembling while he uttered endless streams of ums as if he's reading Shakespeare in Morse code. I don't know about you, but his fidgety behavior on camera and his panicky play on the field are to me a sign of his lack of mental toughness.

Recording yourself solves a lot and also taking a class such as Dale Carnegie etc would solve this issue.  Its pretty nuts the panthers pr hasnt worked with him because he sounds horrible in his pressers.

I didn't say our receivers and scheme have been great or good, but with Bryce's poor play, we'll never know either way. That's the rub, but our receivers sure as hell looked better when Dalton played in that one game, even though Dalton had had very few reps to gel with the receivers.

This is what concerns me about the current set up organizationally. I’m in consulting. I’ve seen what Tepper has done with the organization fail time and time again in the private sector. Where a new owner comes in cleans house

And installs his idea of what the business should look like. Many times it’s this woke corporate new age bs and it fails miserably. We have to come in cut the fat and turn it into a lean meritocratic machine to fix it all. Liberalism in the private sector has been a massive failure.

Andy Dalton has played in the NFL for centuries....and it took the most pass attempts in his entire career for us to just have a respectful passing day in terms of yardage. It took him what, 60 pass attempts or something?

Dalton is certainly experienced, but it's also true that he got very few reps as a backup, so there's certainly more room to gel with his receivers. His yards per attempt was 6.2 in that game, not great or even good, but certainly not horrifying like Bryce. His YPA would certainly have been higher if his completion percentage (58.6%) had been higher, but again, he had no time to gel with his receivers. So basically our backup, who had had few reps, played far better than Bryce even though he played with the same pieces and under the same schemes. I'm as certain as it can be that Dalton would have won quite a few more games had he been allowed to start. That to me is why I say Bryce is the problem.

    • And there are a lot of teams that fluctuate from year to year.   For example, the Lions disappointed, and the Bears and Pats overachieved.  But your stats demonstrate the point.  At the bottom 10 of the SOS (toughest schedule) for 2025, the Texans and Rams are the only teams to have winning records. In the top 10 of the SOS (weakest schedules) only the Browns and Cowboys had losing records.  So, it seems that if you have a top 10 SOS (toughest), you have an 80% chance of having a losing record.  If you have a top 10 easiest schedule, you have an 80% chance of having a winning record.  I am not seeing your point, based on these charts.  
    • This article (ESPN) got me thinking and I think on paper.  Thought I would share.  This thinking involves realistic cap analysis, needs, the draft, and free agency.  I think it realistically addresses Edge and LB fairly well.  OL (not 2026 so much, but 2027 and beyond looks good).  The free agent S has deep range and coverage skills, something that killed us on third downs last year, imo.  Beyond Edge, LB, S, and OL depth, that is about it.  I took a flyer on DT and WR depth late in the draft, but at CB (Horn, Jackson, Smith-Wade, and Thornton), QB, RB, TE, etc. we are going to rely on undrafted free agents.  No cap room left. EDGE:  In the $7m per year range, the edge from Atlanta Ebiketie got pressure at a high rate in reduced snaps. With Atlanta adding 2 edge rushers as rookies who seemed to do well (Pearce is one of them--*) but he got pressure in limited snaps at a high rate 16.9% (one in eight pass rush).   He is 27 and played in 384 snaps.  PFF Score of 74.9.  had 2 sacks.  If he had a normal workload, based on his limited play, he would have had about 5 to 6 sacks and about 60 pressures.  However, it is likely he would be rotational here, logging about 500 snaps.   A lot of this decision depends on how we feel about Princely.  If they like his development, you probably do not draft an Edge in round 1 or maybe even 2 for several reasons (and many may disagree with this logic, but a good GM has long-term vision):  1. That would give you 3 Edge contracts to negotiate in 3-4 years.  2.  Edges take time to develop.  They would peak around 2028.  The Panthers are in "win now" mode, I think. Mafe (Seahawks, PFF 69.2) is another option, but he is more along the lines of Scourton and Jones II.  He would command a contract in the $10m range. Kwity Paye (Indianapolis, PFF 68.7) He is about 28 and is expected to sign a deal around $18m per season.  I am not that impressed, but he is considered "above average."  I'd rather have Ebiketie from Atlanta for $10m per season less. Center:  The center position in the draft is looking better.  There are some short armed OTs (like Parker, Duke, et al) who will project inside (G,C). Personally, I like the Center position in this draft--let Mays walk.  Re-sign Corbett, and draft a C in round 3.   Linebacker:  I am not sure what we should do here.   I think Morgan will fall in love with Cincinnati's Golday, and we would take him at #51.  Rodriguez (Texas Tech) in round 3 could be a steal.  However, I am not sure that I see value after Styles in round 1.  I think Devin Lloyd will want elite meny and he is not elite--he is good.  He will ask for $15m per season.  Leo Chenel (KC, 75.1 PFF, est. $5m) is a much better option. Safety:  I think Kam Curl would be a great fit here. (Rams, 2 Ints 87 tackles) he is very versatile. Expected to get between $10m and $12m per year, however.  In the draft, I think they like Bud Clark who should be there in round 4.  Are Moehrig, Ransom, and Simmons enough?  Tony Adams (63.7 PFF) a deep safety known for his range.  He is expected to get a 3-year, $20m deal on the market. Based on what I am seeing here and the way I am thinking right now on 2/21, here is what I might do: Free Agency CAP: I am going to assume we can clear about $50m by restructuring the contracts of Horn, Lewis, Hunt, and Brown and cutting AShawn Robinson.  We could (bold move) extend Ickey Ekwonu--considering his situation, it could be beneficial to him long term, and his guaranteed salary could be spread over the next 3 years or so. Re-sign veterans:  OL:  Corbett ($3m), Nijman ($4m), Christensen ($2.5m--2 years $5m), Jake Curhan ($1.4m-2 years, $3m).  BC may be ready around mid season, Curhan has experience at RT and G, and played well.  He has played LT in preseason.  There is NOTHING in free agency at LT--most sucked in 2025 and/or are old.  WR: Jalen Coker ($8m--4 years, $32m), LB: Rozeboom ($3.5--2 years, $7m) Cherelus ($1m)  ST: Isiah Simmons ($1.5m).  TOTAL:  Approx. $25m New Free Agents:  Linebacker:  Leo Chenal (KC, age 26) estimated $5m. Safety:  Tony Adams, (NYJ, age 27)  estimated $7m Edge: Arnold Ebikete (Atl, age 27)  estimated $7m Draft: Round 1:  Cashius Howell, Edge Texas AM (This pick gives the Panthers a situational edge rusher to pair with Princely while Ebikete and Scourton start.  Jones II could be cut to save about $4m in cap room. Round 2: Caleb Tiernan, LT, Northwestern (Good pass protector who needs work in run blocking.  I wanted Golday LB here, but if we sign Chenel, the need is lessened at LB if we re-sign Rozeboom. Tiernan is solid). Round 3:  Jake Slaughter C, Florida (Groom behind Corbett for a while, but Slaughter is an impressive C who should be ready by 2027). Round 4:  Demetrius Crownover, RT Texas AM (This guy can develop as a backup until Moton decides to leave) Round 5:  Aiden Fisher, ILB Indiana (could be a nice fit in this system.  Smart, with special teams ability)' Round 6: Ty Montgomery, WR John Carroll Univ.  (very productive with good size and hands.  a gamble, but worth a sixth) Round 7:  James Thompson Jr.  DT, Illinois (was a beast at the Shrine bowl practices and game.  For some reason, there have been a lot of undrafted free agents and day 3 DTs succeed in the NFL.  This could be one.)
