Not to beat a dead horse but Bryce isnt going to "figure it out".  He doesnt have the physical attributes to be a nfl qb.  he just doesnt and he has too many ingrained  bad habits that he simply refuses to change.  Hes toast

I'm still full of hope(honestly, for a lot of things, even non-Panther things).  Later in life, I've become more of an optimist.  But to each their own.  

I will say my hope with Bryce has gone from a 75 down to a 25 in a week...so not much more to lose LOL =P

He isn't fast enough for that. His runs worked because they were not at all concerned about his ability and they were not blitzing. It also forces the play to one side which the D would just adjust for, takes any help from the oline away and allows an easy blitz (he obviously doesn'thandle CB blitzs well). There isn't a good option and anything you come up with can be put into a corner quickly.

He was never fast though. He was elusive, allegedly, and good at picking up yards when plays broke down.

My thing is why not try it at this point? It can’t get worse than this. You sold the farm for the guy. Design the offense for him and if it doesn’t translate to the NFL you know there’s no hope for him.

I didn’t understand that about Reich either. It was like he was hellbent on showing the world that Young couldn’t cut it as a standup pocket passer. If he had schemed for Bryce and just let him fail if he couldn’t execute it he may still be coaching.

I don’t think it’s that simple though. Defenses will scheme to contain him and make him throw in the middle of the field.

I don't think we saw what the offense was supposed to be because the QB can't fuging play well enough to execute it.

We have heard very clearly, if we were listening, about tailoring the offense to what the QB likes to do. What he is able to do. Which, very apparently, is not much.

That cutting the field in half for him... no. That's raising the white flag. Good lord I won't even watch replays of that crap.

If they crowd the middle you dump it off to a screen or take a deep shot. Every defensive scheme comes with a consequence and the offense has to predict and exploit that. That’s what playcalling is all about. It’s high level rock paper scissors and we’re throwing rock every time when our guy can barely make a fist.

Yeah, I think that is your rational mind speaking. You are probably well adjusted and don't bulldoze ex boss' homes and stuff like that.

Would Tepper have accepted that? I doubt it.

I think when they took Bryce, Frank just felt betrayed and fuged over and knew how it was going to play out with this QB.

I get it. If he wanted to run a college offense, he would have looked for a college job.

Can't take a deep shot if he is sailing it out of bounds lol

They just spent 150 million on OGs to run behind, you can even throw behind them or should be able to. Their D needs the O to run a lot this year apparently. They could run behind that line with mediocre QB play.

Worse would the team breaking around him. Watch this about Wilson and tell me there is no danger in allowing things to get out of hand with the QB. Link. That was with a QB that could get into the playoffs. 

I don't think you are taking into account internal pressure last year. Tepper and the game of thrones they had going on. I don't think Reich wanted to play school ball and just checked out when he wasn't allowed to do what he wanted over and over along with all the other things going on personally. 

At this point why not just play Young another game or two to see if anything changes or can be tweaked and then sit him if not? If an over the hill guy like Dalton can make that offense look good then Young should be done. What they spent on him is moot, sunk cost and doesn't change anything at this point. The deep ball is a joke and he can't hit open guys. The run game can't get going because it was blitz city and any opponent we see should be doing that. He looks good playing his school ball when the D is in prevent/garbage time/gas off the throttle. It literally takes a team like GB last year who couldn't get pressure against that line to make it look like it will work. The real question is when will everyone acknowledge these things and just make the obvious move?

No idea yet and it's still too early for them to make that call. And getting hid on IR is the same thing to me. It's a big test for DC and DM. The mystery is over and I just don't see anyone getting a pass for much longer at this rate.

If he continues playing like he did Sunday I don’t see any way he makes it to the bye without being benched.
 

theres a fine line between seeing what your guy has and absolutely torpedoing any and all team morale or buy in, and last Sundays performance was firmly in the “nothing good can be taken from this”.
 

He should get more than one game this season to show if he can make any improvements, but it’ll be hard to give him too many weeks if he continues turning in performances that actively burn any remaining good will he has.
 

I pretty much went from cautiously optimistic to “this season is fuged and Bryce is absolutely cooked” in less than 5 minutes on Sunday. Week one is notorious for over reactions but for the team to spend the entire offseason to put Bryce in a better situation and for him to come out and give his worst performance of his career by far is just….whoof. There’s bad, and then there’s whatever the fug that was

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
