In Soviet Russia, Bryce young at halftime….

I don’t wish the young man harm. I just want him gone from Charlotte. 

No harm will come. Much like the last emporeror of China, he will be re-educated into a productive member of society.

Perhaps he can live out his years as a quaint garden gnome, a Nickelodeon exec-proof child actor or a process engineer at the Wonka Chocolate company.

"As if Dalton could do any better"

- Way too many people, 2023 season

*Me* Not way too many people.  I was impressed with Dalton in the losing effort in Seattle.  The defense lost that game, to be honest, the offense did enough.  I wanted more and hoped Bryce's ankle need another week or two to heal.  Probably a bogus injury anyway.  They likely didn't want Bryce playing on the road in one the toughest stadiums in the League so early in his career.

Two weeks of Young was more than enough for me, and the Dalton game proved there were big problems with Bryce Young.

A year ago. And we still had to tolerate that ill ass football. This why people talk bad about him, he was pure death to our favorite football team.

So many condescending responses over that Seattle game. Anyone with eyes and no agenda saw the difference with Dalton behind center.

Yea but the thing is though that even if Dalton played and had a good season what good does that do us? I'm glad things went the way they did we found out early that Bryce is not it for us at QB and we actually have a coach who isn't afraid to make a change. Now we get to rip the band aid off early vs coddling him only to still find out hes not an NFL QB down the road. It sucks to have gone through last season + 2 games this season but at the same time we got to find out early what type of QB Bryce could be for us and unfortunately its not an NFL one.

I was always willing to give him a mulligan for last season but the regression we saw from Young to start the year was inexcusable. Hopefully we move on completely and won't have to watch Brucey play another down of Panthers football.

Quite a few folks packed up and quit the site because they couldn't cope with the Bryce bashing. I tried to tell them people were just stating the obvious. This organization and the media carrying water for that scrub just straight up deluded a lot of people and didn't allow them to see what was plainly obvious.

A handful of those were also claiming the former Penn State FB in Levis was some magician and Stroud was the one to be nervous about. We’re all wrong at times but they acted that way in such a proud wannabe-analyst mode like they knew better and then rushed off to that discord thing. It’s pretty funny. Not to dwell over the fact this is about a young dude not cutting the mustard. Just kinda funny hehe

We had a coach that was so unafraid to make a change he lost his job over it. 

I mean, it worked out because Canales has that thing.

I think we deserve to be a little spiteful after all the hyping and defending he’s gotten with a very small group of us accurately pointing out since last year that he was the problem. 

Spiteful is appropriate. Hateful isn’t.

Yea Reich might still have a job if he were allowed to play Dalton. In all likelihood Reich got screwed. He was forced to work with a bunch of people he never worked with before and likely wasn't allowed to have his pick at QB either. We won't ever know forsure unless someone from that staff speaks up but the fact he only lasted 11 games means some version of that is probably true

I think you meant Reich was too afraid to bench Bryce. Reich and the coaches did try to bench Young early last season per The Athletic, but they were overruled. I think that was the last straw for Reich, and he just checked out after that. If we had kept playing the lil coach killer, he would almost certainly have killed Canales as well.

You may not have been on the receiving end of it being called hateful and ignorant and not a fan of the Panthers and a pile of other stuff.  People leaving poo on your posts. For a year and a half pretty much. 

Judge not.

I am trying to say that Reich wanted to bench Bryce and was not allowed to, but it did not stop him from wanting to. He called it early. Showed his cards. Gone, killed by a coach killer. 

Canales is a lucky result out of a poo process. No one wanted him, remember?

I was super critical of the Bryce pick. Wanted CJ. Got poo for it. But in the end Bryce is not a bad dude as bad as he is at football. We can delineate between loathing the football player and hating the human being.

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
