He’s also not gonna survive taking hits like he did tonight.  He finishes runs like a back.  He’s not Cams size

I don't see it being sustainable regardless of size. The hits are accumulative.

41 pass attempts and 16 rushes? If they want to compete for the championship they need to get Henry going. You signed a workhorse back let him work.

that Xavier Worthy had a real nice debut game.  Much like preseason, Andy Reid's gameplan is to design touches for the young player to get him involved in his O early. 

 

I mean real real nice debut, I’m hoping for half of that production from XL even a little less but definitely something.

I guess my real point is, it's not so much Worthy.....it's a staff that wants to ensure he is involved.  Which you saw in the preseason.   His first touch of the game is the best example.  

Think that will be a big part of why XL gets criticism.  Saw it the preseason.  Reid would have got the ball  XLs hands.  100%.

I think he let the criticism of the AFC CG go to his head. He probably should've finished runs more aggressively in that game but the playoffs are a different beast. You have to manage the risk in the regular season. 3rd down in the 4th quarter of a close game? Okay, maybe now is the time to roll the dice. 1st and 10 in the 1st quarter? Calm down. Get down or get OB.

I was just listening to Cam on Shannon Sharp and Ochocinco’s podcast discussing how he let all the noise of him “not jumping on the fumble” fuel him in 2016 into that play where he chased down the DB in San Diego after the goal line interception and injured his shoulder (to dispute the lack of effort claims) - and the rest is history.

You are probably spot on here, athletes get obsessed and fueled by talk and fighting down narratives much to their detriment at times.

Jackson needs to let it go and just play his game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
