Bryce Young Work Ethic

We all know Bryce is a great person. But, from what I recall of the off-season, I remember him saying he was taking time off, watching Netflix. 
 

For those that follow more closely, how is his actual work ethic? The greats like Luke would eat, breathe, and sleep Football. First one in, last one out. Does Bryce have that in him? Because going through the motions at this level won’t cut it. 
 

What are your thoughts on this? I feel like a strong work ethic is going to be the only way he overcomes the physical challenges he is going to face in the NFL.

You can question a lot of things about Bryce but from literally everything I've ever heard or read the guy works very hard behind the scenes. I mean his preparation for games at Alabama was so impressive that apparently Fitterer and co had to cut him off when he got to like Wednesday or something. 

He does seem like a genuinely nice person so it's easy to root for him because god can you imagine how reviled he would be if he was Jimmy Clausen

Anyone that believes that he spent the entire offseason 'watching netflix'

Did you watch the first two games?

As of right now statistically across the entire league only Aidan O'Connell and Jameis Winston have less passing yards per game than Bryce Young. Only Deshaun Watson and Jacoby Brissett have less yards per pass attempt. Only Anthony Richardson has a worse passer rating.

So. Are you suggesting that is the result of Bryce Young working his ass off?

If impressing Scott Fitterer meant anything he'd still be here. As it is he is the guy who rambled to us about that special "nutritional program" they would be getting Bryce on when asked about Bryce's size translating to the NFL.

Clausen got us Cam Newton for the record. We can put him in the hall of honor for that as far as I'm concerned. All Bryce Young has done so far is collect 38 million dollars.

This is my main issue with Bryce. He doesn’t have any control of the crappy situation he’s been put in but he has total control of going to the gym and adding some much needed muscle and it doesn’t look like he’s spent a single day in the gym since we drafted him

Take advantage of the things you have control over.

I'm convinced it doesn't matter. All the work in the world can't fix an insurmountable talent deficit.

This 100%. He works hard and is apparently spectacular on the white board, but it doesn’t translate to an actual game, so it doesn’t matter.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
