Oh I’m not saying he plays any better but unless he is traded away, he is probably playing again. Hopefully better but it hasn’t looked promising. 

Who you like in the draft?

 

Pretty sure Canales will draft his own QB. Wouldn't shock me if it's a off the radar QB. I'm not sold he's gonna take the top guys unless he truly is in love with one of them. I hope we trade back and get some extra picks.

Blaming ownership on “giving up” on Bryce seems wrong to me as well. They hired a full staff late year dedicated to developing a QB, fired them and brought in a new HC with experience belong QBs, overpaid for a massive OL to protect him, traded for DJ, drafted a WR in round 2 last year and 1 this year and his play got worse. When you have players blowing up on the sidelines, commentators taking about how the opposing defense knows the deep ball isn’t an option, you owe it to your fans and team to make a change. I mean it was historically low numbers for a starting QB who looked lost. Benching Bryce helps himself as well. It clearly wasn’t getting better at this moment.

I see no issue with the franchise making franchise changing decisions and then moving off from them in less than two years over and over and over...

So looking at this case in isolation, do you think they should continue to start Bryce? And I’m looking at this as a yes or no answer. There has been a lot of things go wrong the last few years, but this is in my opinion not one of them.

Not surprised. When Tepper moves on he tends to turn the page and turn it hard. I have a feeling he was given a number of things to work on in the offseason and showed up clearly haven done none of them.


My thoughts too.

I remember Canales talking about how proud he was of sticking with the run game in Tampa even when it was bad. He seemed to believe in working through stuff.

This feels like a typical Tepper decision.

Yeah that is all I meant. With the added it will suck hard again.
 

He is coming back in if that happens. 
He is being paid a king’s ransom to play quarterback for the Panthers.  

I guess people will blame Dalton getting hurt on Tepper somehow.
And anybody that has read my posts will know I am no fan of Tepper.

Ouch…

“When the Panthers benched Bryce Young, I texted the news to a trusted league source. He quickly responded: “They should bench their program.”

I usually think of college football when I hear “program,” but looking at quarterback development structures through that lens is informative. A program encompasses everything: Environment, support staff, planning, teaching philosophy, and the list goes on. Speak to folks around the league about QB development, and they’ll often mention all of these layers as being essential. Carolina is one side of the coin — Minnesota is the other.”

I’d like a bridge QB like Geno Smith and draft a Cam Ward type player. I want to see how Drew Allar plays this year as well. The big thing is letting whoever we draft (if we draft one) sit for a while and learn. Also the season is still very early. Miller Moss is still unknown at this point and his coach knows how to develop QBs.

I also think it's a big difference with what has come out and hearing that Bryce is essentially done in Carolina as opposed to what could have been "allowing time for Bryce to reset" and reevaluating in a few weeks. The whole tone in the interviews with everyone is weird and becomes yet another example as to why free agents will not want to come to Carolina.

Just what I think happened based on the evidence. It's pretty much spelled out for us by beat reporters who can't come out and say it. 

I'd argue that the locker room is filled with an incredible amount of mistrust and a losing mentality. If the coaching staff tells you one thing and publicly endorses you, then the next day you are benched and your career is over with the team, what does that say to the other players in the locker rooms? 

It says that Canales reviewed the tape and realized just how horrible it has been. Regarding the second comment, players know the real stories. If they still came here after the past couple of years, and they seemingly are, this situation is not going to change anything.

It says you are professionals and that performance matters.

Yep we have a HC who "develops QB's". I think we could get a sleeper QB in the later rounds. We are more than a QB away.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
