For all the criticism Jake gets from the media, from opponents and even from us, there is something that happens to this guy when he plays in the playoffs. He is a different QB. At least so far that's what he's shown us.

It's kind of amuzing, but the guy who had one of the worst QB ratings this year in a regular season game, could be the same guy that has the best QB rating in the post-season. That is of course, if you were to believe history which is all we have to go with right now.

What is most impressive is that Jake showed that from his very first playoff game. For some reason, he shines when the team is down in the 4th quarter, when it's 3rd and 11 in double over time in the playoffs, or when you are throwing bombs and your opponent's captain happens to be Tom Brady in the Superbowl.

Jake, attribute it to him being crazy, or so fired up that he just pushes away the pressure other QB's feel in situations like this, is exactly who I would want as my QB in the playoffs. Sure there is Ben and Eli. And veterans like McNabb and Warner. And yes those guys may have better stats, names, and better physical talent than Jake, but even though Eli has a ring I still feel Jake is the better leader who will make things happen when and if the game comes down to the wire.

I almost feel more confident about us winning a game when we are down by a touchdown or less in the 4th quarter with Jake behind the ball then when we are up. Someone just needs to teach him and our coaching staff how to finish the games off when we are up by 10 points instead of getting all conservative and letting teams catch us.

But I think there is one hidden stat that the NFL, the media and the rest of the fans don't know about where Jake is without a doubt miles ahead of the competition. And that stat is: "Ball size".

And I don't mean the official one. I think if we were to measure the balls of all the QB's in the NFL, Jake would win by a land slide.

PS: For those that missed this article: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/121/story/446485.html

"Delhomme has a passer rating of 95.0 in seven playoff games, five of which the Panthers won. Of the other quarterbacks in this season's playoffs, only Arizona's Kurt Warner (92.3) approaches Delhomme's postseason excellence as a passer."

I agree. Although, he usually pisses me off in the regular season most games, I feel very confident when he takes the field for us in the playoffs.

Also, one of his better games of the regular season came vs. Arizona. That mixed w/ his history of success in the playoffs and how hot our run game is right now, has me feeling very good about this team come game day!

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
