This is probably the least I've kept up with the Panthers before the season.  I don't think I could tell you a single thing that has happened during camp.

Has Bryce Young looked that bad?

 

I don’t think he looks that bad but everyone has PTSD from last season so there’s not much he can do to change anyone’s mind unless he suddenly grows 2 inches and starts throwing bombs with flick of his wrist

I mean there are hella starters who don't play a lick of preseason.  Rams are notorious for it.  

Maybe Bryce should play, but whether he does or doesn't won't make a lick of difference in the locker-room.  Everyone understands this is a business and the starters will be protected more than the back-ups.

If we were one of the up and coming or recently successfully competitive teams I would be more inclined to be on board with you on this. But we are the worst of the worst until proven otherwise. The Rams are on the completely opposite end of the spectrum in comparison.

I want this franchise to return to some form any form really of respectability. For the time being sitting your first overall pick out for all of preseason is rightfully going to result in a lot of eye rolls from a fanbase that just witnessed the worst season in franchise history and offensively one of the worst seasons ever probably.

He’s looked the same.

Even worse, the starting OL looks the same as well. Missing assignments, getting abused by journeymen DL.

The people who report from camp haven't had a negative tone about him but those following here seem convinced otherwise.

Don't know that he's looked abjectly bad per se, but rather that he and the team look exactly the same as last year. It's not particularly encouraging at this point in time.

He looked a little streaky and the OL looked shaky. Could be the new offense. Regardless hopefully it gets all up to par before the season starts.

The only thing this preseason is telling me is who has already made up their minds and are finding every nugget of information to confirm their bias. I'm not wasting my time arguing because nothing really matters until we play actual football and see where things go. Whatever things need improving, now is the time to identify and manage. Of course, that's on the current coaching staff to hash out and they're mostly brand new and so historical trends may not apply. 

That said, O-line not trending in the right direction or at least, our overall depth looks last year type of poor. If we're not having our starting O-line out there for the first preseason game and with your main backup currently out, I can see why you would not want your starting QB out there.

I think Bryce needs to play all preseason games to get this chemistry right

I think he should play too, it is a new offense for cryin out loud. Lotta new pieces.

What we need to look out for is having people we need, on the field playing against scrubs trying to make the other team. They’ll hurt someone.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      No no no. I mean draft a guy like cousins in the 3rd or 4th. That is when he was drafted.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Said Bryce is part of the wins and plays a key position. Not the same as saying he's the key to the wins. But also not denying he plays a role in them because...well, he did. Even if you limit his contributions to the  game winning drives in the 4th quarter, those still count. And yes, he's improved. but saying that doesn't equate to saying he's good enough to put the franchise label on him. It's just a simple acknowledgement that he's better than he used to be (to what degree is debatable). As to his initial expectations, I'll just say stats aren't the only thing I don't care about. What he is matters way more than what he was expected to be. And what is he? He's what you referenced, a mid-tier quarterback. Not the "worst in the league" or "worst ever" as some claim. That's just hyperbole.  Lots of teams have those. Very few teams have elite ones. And I wouldn't bet on next year's draft having a supply of those either. And again, stats. We used to have a number of folks who bandied about some of Delhomme's stats, Newton's stats, etc. to argue they weren't good. But lets look at a few of those... What metric do you prefer? Yards, perhaps? Well, if those are key then Jared Goff, Sam Darnold and Bo Nix are all doing better than Baker Mayfield right now.  The second best quarterback in the league? Dak Prescott. And Young? Well, he's outpacing CJ Stroud, Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagavailoa and even Aaron Rodgers. Prefer touchdowns? Cool. On that front, Jared Goff is tied for third in the league with Drake Maye, leading Rodgers, Mayfield. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen among others. Bryce is 15th in the league here, just a single score shy of Rodgers, Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and Josh Allen.  Ahead of Tagavailoa, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, and Jackson. Interceptions? Holy hell, Bryce has fewer interceptions than Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence and, again... Josh Allen. Does that mean I can go out and post on X that Bryce has better ball security than Allen? But wait, are some of these stats... misleading? Or might hh+jjhthey be, just a little...out of context? Ya know, it seems like they kinda are. Weird, huh 🤔
