ARTICLE Adam Thielen: “You can tell by his demeanor that Bryce Young is more comfortable“

It’s no secret that last year’s No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young had a tough rookie season.

But in the aftermath of the Panthers’ offseason program, veteran receiver Adam Thielen said this week that he’s optimistic about the young quarterback entering 2024.

“It’s been awesome. Not only him, just a lot of the young guys, a lot of the staff. It’s just been a great offseason to just see some of these guys who haven’t been in the league very long — just the way that they’ve come in with confidence,” Thielen said during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show. “You can tell, Bryce’s demeanor in the building — he’s just more comfortable, right? And you don’t realize it when you start getting to be a veteran guy, just because you forget about those times.”

Thielen noted that last year, Young wasn’t even a part of the early offseason program because he hadn’t been drafted yet.

“I’m thinking back to that like, now he’s there,” Thielen said. “Now we’re getting routes on air, we’re around each other, we’re in the locker room together, we’re BSing, talking about how great the Timberwolves are — because I’m a Timberwolves fan. So, you have that time together that we didn’t have last year.”

Thielen added that just going through the process of entering the league can be a whirlwind for a young QB between learning the playbook and getting to know new teammates before the summer break. Then once training camp begins, everyone has to hit the ground running — and that’s not including some of the clear issues the Panthers had with their systems in 2023.

“So, it’s been a really cool offseason to see how he’s come back with, OK, I’ve got urgency, I’ve got confidence, I have comfortability in the system, in the facility, the locker room, and what that does for a player,” Thielen said. “I’m excited about what that looks like going into training camp.

“Again, like I said last year and I’ll never not talk about this — things are always great this time of year. There’s no wins, no losses, there’s no adversity. It’s all good right now, every single team thinks they can go to the playoffs and have a chance to win the Super Bowl. So we’ll see how it goes when the bullets start flying, but we’re in a good place.”

So would you guys prefer they just not talk or give interviews at all and we have nothing to read and zero insight, or is it that you want him to say everything is terrible and the sky is falling?

I'd like the media to only talk to XL.  And every time they ask him a question he goes...

and walks off.  Not mad or angry though.  Just back to work.  Maybe add in an occasional oh wee mayne or something.  He can get a little creative.

Yes, and I'm 100% serious here, as far as I'm concerned they would be better off saying absolutely nothing from now until week 1.

after a 2 win season after the team was massively overhyped this same way, yes kindly stfu and stop pissing on our legs and say its raining.  Just go to camp and get ready for the season, you dont have to sell us on bryce young.  its a bit coddling and sophomoric.  He either gets it this year or he doesnt this preseason hype poo doesnt get you anywhere

      Darin Gantt notices a very good sign in the lockeroom

      CHARLOTTE — A funny thing happened in the locker room after Sunday's loss to the Eagles. There wasn't an immediate rush to the door. Usually, after a road game, particularly a road loss, guys shower quickly, change, and head for the bus that takes them to the airport. And it's not that guys were lingering, but there was a clear sense of camaraderie after that game, which you don't always see. After head coach Dave Canales spoke to the team and went back to his office to change for the flight, guys began to gather. Canales mentioned that Chuba Hubbard had topped the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. People came to congratulate him. Hubbard then thanked his offensive line, and people came to congratulate them. And that circle kept growing. It wasn't just the starting five, but backup guard and eligible extra blocker Chandler Zavala was part of it; injured center Austin Corbett was on the trip and he got pulled into the group. Like a rock dropped into a still pond, the ripple kept expanding, bringing more and more guys into the recognition. It wasn't a party — they know they lost, and close isn't enough — but it was a growing number of people engaged in a shared purpose. And you could sense the difference. Canales didn't tell them to congregate, it happened organically. And that's the important part. This team is beginning to internalize his message, say his words back, and get closer to the goals that were abstract concepts at the beginning of the season. They know the expectation and that they're still short of it. But they can also see that the work is beginning to pay off, and that's drawing them closer together.   https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-coming-together-getting-closer
