What did Bryce do during the offseason...

I get what you are saying but he is already from a family with means and I highly suspect that is the other half of the problem.  The first being his size.

Glad this is being mentioned. It was honestly one of the more glaring Red Flags for me above his other lacking attributes. Not to say you have to come from a single parent household to maintain a competetive edge (Brady, Stroud, etc.) but dude simply doesn't scream to me someone who eats, sleeps, bleeds football. He's kinda dorky, which is ok, but he's not cut for this poo.

 

Shame on Tepper.

That’s moving goalpost a little.  Bryce Young acknowledged he intentionally spent his offseason getting away from football.  He hammered that point home.  His morning routine involved working out.  So does my wife’s.  But even when he acknowledged he was only lazy with that for a week….he made sure to note again the football aspect wasn’t part of it. 

so the big picture theme is really clear.  Bryce largely unplugged from football this offseason.  Which isn’t what you want to hear and those are his words.  Which is the Bryce offseason critique and it is purely based on his own version of events. 

and after that disaster picture was painted it came out he threw with some WRs once.  That one event doesn’t reallly change the overall offseason narrative that Bryce himself put out there.  Which is the critique. It just means technically there was a day he did something and no one cares about the technicality. 

Yeah I will judge based on what someone said and is quoted. How anyone can argue against that is beyond me.

Most players who give a sh#t about their careers put in the work during the offseason to improve. Nothing about him getting the wideouts together to work on their game. In fact, it was the complete opposite. 

He got paid and didn't do a thing to improve. Didn't hit the gym, didn't practice with anyone, and didn't improve any phase of his game.

They need to sit his ass down, sooner than later.  This attitude effects the entire team. Making him a Captain is a joke. Something needs to give.

 

 

 

I didn't hear much about hitting the weight room or meeting receivers and tight ends on the field to do any throwing so it really disappointed me. Maybe he did and nobody said anything but usually you hear something. All I heard from guys here is that he watched Netflix or something like that so maybe someone saw a story in him that said that?

So what this all boils down to is you think those who differ from your POV of endless excuses want the Panthers and their QB1 to be the biggest laughingstock in the league just so they can say I told you so?

Didn’t respond to anything I said just making up your own reality once again.

Tomato, potato, you guys are debating irrelevant events that would not change anything about the current state of this team. I think it's time to bury the debate altogether don't you? I mean it's only a matter of how many games will it take before this schurad ends and the team sits him. Save your powder for the next guy.

A high character guy would have thrown at the combine and not put on fake water weight. I understand players are motivated to put themselves in the best light possible, but what he did was gaming the system. Yes, it's the FO's fault for being fooled, but still, it's a stretch to call him high character.

Thank you for saying this. I said this before they drafted him as being a HUGE red flag that he did not want to compete with the other QBs since he knew he'd be exposed. 

Of course, our crackpot scouting staff was fooled and we still kept one of them as our new GM. It feels like I am taking crazy pills!

Yeah. I think the ultimate thing would be having enough belief in yourself to compete with them. Not hide and manipulate the process. 

I know this is modern day America where integrity is old fashioned.... but that would get the highest character grade. And the best (better) prospect grade to boot, because of enough believe in himself to put it out there.

The inverse, is not enough belief, which was obviously good enough for the Panthers.

Not to mention he went full Tom Cruise with the lift shoes lol.

The delusion is very concerning with this fanbase. This the same guy that said bryce was a top 4 qb.

 

People will say anything for clicks and followers, even if it is knowingly false. Controversy sells and if there isn't any someone will create it just to make a buck.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
