What if Plummer shows out????

Recommended Posts

With Person spreading the rumor that Young may not play during the preseason (hard to believe), it looks like Plummer may have playing time to show out.

Why would they not play Young? Is he that bad that they have to hold his hand and hold him out? Very hard to think that this is actually true. If Jack plays and shows alot of promise will they ever give him a shot during the season?

Wouldn't be the first time that a UDFA proves everyone wrong.  Highly unlikely, but if Young can't do it, then who the fug knows.

The Patriots in recent years have been responsible for injuring our guys during the preseason so I’m ok with Bryce sitting. It’s a win-win regardless the way I see it. 
1.) Plummer outplays Bryce and the staff, hopefully then, goes with the hot hand. 
2.) Bryce is kept healthy for the season and even with the improved offensive line and receivers, Bryce continues to put up his rookie numbers. This will only lead to, hopefully, the staff seeing that they played to his strengths in building a scheme to maximize his strengths in short yardage passing, only for him to continue to hold the offense back, to selecting his successor in upcoming drafts.

Jake D. was a UDFA when he signed with the Saints.

Wasn't a bad QB at all.

Never know....

I swear when I watched him last year I thought he threw a lot like Will Grier, I thought he has no velocity on his passes but now after watching his highlights his arm isnt bad, his wind up is kerry collinsesque but his highlights have some nice things on it.

 

Maybe he could be a modern day delhomme

I have seen several pundits say that starters shouldn't play in preseason.  Eventually, more teams may buy into it.  

IMO, if your starter is Patrick Mahomes, no point at all in playing him.  But if its Bryce Young, well he probably should be playing.

Yep, I understand those advocating for established starters to not play at all in preseason, even younger guys like Hurts, Purdy. But guys in year 1/2 who are only "starters" due to draft pedigree absolutely need to be playing. ESPECIALLY with an entire new coaching staff and system.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
