Bryce got heavier and looked more muscular around this time last year too.  Probably tough to keep it on for him given his age and the workouts coming.

He just wore a more fitted shirt and changed his hairstyle lol. I remember when that article came out.

Bryce has lanky dude bod. When relaxed, he's never going to look like he has much. When muscles are activated, he'll look jacked. It's fine. 

 

Dude definitely been lifting though. Good.

Looking like a young Drew Brees!

oh yeah looks like Drew Brees thinks like Peyton Manning & plays like a mini Patty Mahomes 

this kid has been compared to some NFL Legends & that's exactly why he went #1 overall...just saying

I am fond of the “this HOF QB had a crappy rookie year” argument.

So did a lot of guys that washed out of the league.

So you know that Young is like the HOF guys and not the washouts...

It’s like politicians talking....

He's gonna look like a slot receiver out there. He always will. Just play better. That's all I care about. His size is what it is.

That's all that really matters. Either he's a NFL starting caliber QB or he's not. If he is, great. If not, move on.

It's literally all that matters. It's not like he's going to hit a growth spurt. He's always going to be sub-6'. It's not like he's going to hit the gym and show up built like Kyler Murray or Russell Wilson either. I mean, we should hope not anyway. It's just not how he's built. If he does he's gonna melt the piss cup.

I hope he worked on his lower body strength too. He was pulled down so easily at times last year. 

This take is just us expecting monsters at QB thanks to Cam, Big Ben, Etc. they're the exception, not the rule. Brady wasn't resisting sacks. Peyton either. They just stood tall and delivered. 

That and he's 5'10" being tackled by dudes who are 6'2+ every time. It's always gonna look easy for them lol

Some interesting things about his interview:  First of all, what a great kid-you have to like him and should pull for him.  However, Canales seems to be the only coach in Bryce's ear this year.  Last year, it seems that he was getting coached on several levels at different times (Frank Reich, Dave Brown, etc), and that could lead to a lot of confusion.

Canales said that when a player breaks the huddle and is slow approaching the LOS, he is thinking.  The Panthers were slow all season--including the QB. 

I realize we are talking about day 1 of OTAs, but when players like Ian Thomas and Jordan Matthews are getting mentioned, it might indicate the TE room is finally feeling recognized and there is a competition going on--Sanders, Tremble, Thomas, Sullivan, and maybe even Matthews-it could be the most improved position on the offense after guard.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
