Just how bad was Bryce Young?

[TN05]

Some stats about a truly horrific rookie year:
*Bryce Young threw the ball 527 times, the fifth-most of any season in team history, but only threw for 2,877 yards, the 18th-most in a season in team history. He's sandwiched between Chris Weinke's 2001 year (15 games total) and Jake Delhomme's 2006 season (where he only played 13 games).
*Young completed 315 passes, the fifth-most in a season, but his yards-per-completion of 5.5 only has two real competitors among full-season Panther starters - Kerry Collins in 1997 (5.6) and Chris Weinke in 2001 (5.4)
*Young threw for touchdowns on only 2.1% of his passes (11 total passing TDs). Among full-season starters, he's ahead of only Chris Weinke (2001) at 2.0%.
*Young's longest completion was for 47 yards. Among full-season starters, he is tied for the lowest longest completion stat with Weinke.
*Young was sacked 62 times, tied for the most in team history with Steve Beuerlein (2000).
*Young is the only Panthers QB to start 16 games and not throw for over 3,000 yards. If you include 15-game and 14-game starters, he is one of only three (along with Weinke and Rodney Peete).

Honestly, Clausen is the only QB we've put on the field for the majority of a season who was clearly worse.

Rough to look at.

Been saying for a while now that Weinke was the closest Panthers comp for Bryce.

Unfortunately, looks like we'll be stuck with him next year as well since we decided it was more important to rebuild the Bears than our own team.  Thanks Tep / Fitt!

That hurts to read.

Second round pick, middle one at that, #48 overall.  These two guys should not be in the same sentence.

I swear it looks like 'bring your kid to work day' in that pic.

I think Clausen is the better comp.  If you made Clausen faster on his feet.

Oof

We will hear about coaching the OL and the receivers but even the biggest Panthers homers should have a difficult time sugar coating all this.

At best it's on par with Clausen.

Quite depressing.

and fox had enough balls to tell the person who drafted him to fug off and benched him

[Paa Langfart]

Start Weinke ?

[CRA]

Clausen couldn't make all the throws and loved the small pointless ball. 

Weinke was big.  With an arm.  I would wager you could add up all Clausen and Bryce's 20 yard downfield completions and Weinke might of had more than both added together as a rookie.  And Weinke was trash.
