There is a lot of trash about Bryce’s arm here. Let’s not forget CAN sling it. 
 

He doesn’t have a Josh Allen rocket arm. He doesn’t need it. 
 

He has all the arm strength needed to be successful. What he needs is a pocket he can actually step up in and receivers who can get separation.

No, at this point he can't - it's not who he is as a player. When he winds up and puts all of his body into it he can get some velocity and a bit of distance, but downfield the accuracy goes away entirely. Anyone who watches this past season and still argues arm strength as anything above bottom-tier at the NFL level as of right now is deluding themselves.

I don't know that it really even matters much.  He can make every throw.  He just needs to anticipate throws more.   It's an NFL caliber arm even if it's on the lower end of the spectrum.  

Josh Allen can wait and squeeze an 10 yard out in extremely tight window and late.    Bryce can make the same throw but has to throw before the separation occurs.

Can we put a ban on posting college highlights until our #1 pick looks like a #1 pick?

Seriously he just finished his first N-F-L season as one of the statistically worst rookie QB's ever.

Realistically, he’s ranked probably around 25-27th of 32 starters in arm strength. Nothing to hide from, great play can outweigh it.

Somewhere around that.   

You know who else didn't have a strong arm?  The GOAT , Tom Brady.    All that matters is that you can make every throw.  The rest just adds some flash and gives you a little more leeway in tight windows.

Young has a functional NFL arm with the added benefit of the creative arm angles he can throw from when off platform.  There's my best NFL draft pundit impression.

We all know he doesn't have a rocket launcher.  That's ok.  In college, we saw that he can make throws down the field.  In the NFL, he rarely had the chance due to the absolute poo show that was the 2023 Carolina Panthers.  Some fans are just not convinced.  

So that's up to Canales & Co. to fix.  They need to build a system that allows Bryce to maximize his talents.  And if he fails, then he's done.  Another QB bust.  But I'm choosing hope.  It's better than wallowing in misery.

Hi Frank, 

I think college highlights can be presented in an argument about arm strength.   Throwing the ball with velocity is the same no matter what league or competition it is.  

Now if you want to argue results from college are no longer relevent, OK, I see that.   But his throws that went 50-60 air yards etc are still just as applicable now.

College highlights are as relevant as saying he won a Heisman.

None of it matters.

All that matters is what Bryce Young is going to do to improve physically and mechanically this offseason.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
