From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

I hope so. The worst case scenario might actually be the most likely scenario. Bryce incrementally improves enough to make us think he might still be able to be a capable starting QB. Not an elite starting QB, but "good enough".

I want one or the other. I want him to make a huge leap and having me saying "alright y'all I was wrong, he is HIM" or I want him to just suck ass again and look no better so we all know we have to move on. The danger zone is that gray area in between.

The 'Alex Smith Purgatory'.

This is in no way a rebuild of his lazy footwork. It’s a total greenfield, parts bin, project. Welcome to a bad team, it’s now your job to make it better. 

He either gets an at least average arm, which last season wasn’t even close, or you cut bait.  I really, really, really hope it happens. Modern NFL film study?? Short passing scheme, weak arm, guaranteed pick 6 fest, and the point is inarguable. 

Like I said in another thread, if past prime Brees, Kamara, Payton and their solid o line couldn’t get there with the short passing game scheme and no deep pass threat, what makes anyone think this team can. There HAS to be the threat of connecting deep, or we will live in 3rd and 8, 47 yd FG, unwatchable football hell.

Smith was tradable and his teams kept drafting QBs around him. I'm thinking that is more Tua purgatory.

Same situation though. Smith was traded for a 2nd and next-year's 3rd and then a CB and 3rd. I'm sure the Dolphins could orchestrate those deals if they wanted to.

With respect to Tua, it still blows my mind that they didn't travel to KC until the 11th/12th for that polar game on the 13th. Like, get there early and start acclimating... they just withered as that game went along.

Yup, it is but they fall in love with their guy when they should treat it as a business. Hell we did it with Delhomme because there was a point where it was obvious and they wouldn't bring in anyone that was close to a threat.

That game was rough for Miami but they also didn't win a game against a team with a winning record when they met them. They just look amazing against trash and mediocre teams. Still showing up to that game in that weather, or even the normal bad weather, that unprepared was just dumb. I know Miami fans and that's a thing that's been known since the Shula times.

I agree on this.  Either we know or we dont...i am not with the in-between BS.

At this point I doubt anyone else would bring Bryce in to be their starter. Just us. I hope he is better by a lot not just a little.

Im still waiting on a Bryce young supporter to tell me his trade value.

    • i mean i'd have to go back and watch. I remember it happening twice against the raiders. I didn't see the Bengals game because of Helene, and the Bears game was difficult to watch because the satellite at mudpuppies kept going out.  also mudpuppies has some fantastic wings, and 1/2 price wings is a terrible idea when you don't have running water. 
    • She is the worst personality on that entire show tbh.   She talks like she is a big deal. She's just a NFL reporter. How can you talk down on athletes especially one as accomplished as Cam smh.    
    • Dude I’m agreeing with you. I said I’d rather have a young defender with that pick than a luxury rb, even tho I think brooks is gonna be pretty good.  his stats dont jump off from at #3 Alabama, and it was early in the year before Saban sacrificed the right number of coeds, but he put the game away. Alabama just ate Texas’ oline up. Also he was blocking and chipping a lot and just like you, me, and most people in fourth grade and above he’s already better than miles sanders.  also shoutout to future panther ja’tavion sanders just not holding on to the ball at all  He played great against Oklahoma too. Now sure yeah Oklahoma I get it but that’s a will venables defense. Also oh my god Texas’ oline fuging blew in this game.
