1st year til the next November is literally the leash for most drafted qb's lol. Plus I was talking more about physical ceiling. Like great he didn't throw picks because he knows what throws he can't make anymore. He's not going to get more velocity or better at qb scrambles etc. I'm not sure what more he can improve on given the circumstances

He can improve on his knowing there is actually a pocket to step into and where it is and will be. 

He can 1000% still improve his mechanics and maybe eke out a little more zip. But there is a high chance he can't see when he is in the pocket and and would have to find launch lanes more or less to see downfield.

I haven't seen anything that tells me he will solve it and when he gets against the better defenses they won't let him run around much, I am pretty sure. 

It is going to be screens, flairs, nearfield throws with a little downfield sprinkled in or forced in if we are in a shootout (lol, it will be a shoot down).  And a ton of handoffs. (same as what we have been seeing basically)

his mechanics are too flawed to fix at this point.  They are just embedded in him

I like Bryce and it would be a pleasant surprise if he's able to take the next step but based on what Dan Morgan said before the Germany game, I don't think the front office has faith in that happening. Dan and Brandt Tillis both being very non-committal to him should tell you that they plan on either getting rid of Bryce in the offseason or at least bringing in a worthwhile QB to compete with Bryce. Being a serviceable physically limited game manger after we poured all our resources into getting the best version of Bryce isn't what the team is looking for at QB. 

Bryce has been playing better no one can argue against that but you can't win consistently in the NFL with a QB who can't throw the ball down the field and that can't throw for more than 200 yards a game. We don't have a downfield passing attack and that falls solely on the physical limitations of Bryce.

He is better now on the short drops which is why they are being called I think - because they limit him to the 1 2 3 plant ball is out - no time to think.  Thanks about as far as it has gotten. And you are right they are not really right. But at least they aren’t that really wrong crap he does when left to take a deeper drop. 
 

Some of those 10 and 15 yard throws are pretty good, I think that is his limit though. Slightly better velocity when the form is correct. But he is bumping up against that ceiling already, there isn’t much more to see I don’t think.

That's a good backup qb. At some point on a competitive level you need a guy that can hail mary, qb sneak, launch it +50 yards from the pocket, and run convincing play action. No serious team is going to take away those options from your playbook before the game even starts.

I didn’t know about the sneak but this other stuff we were saying for why you don’t take him.

What’s Daltons long pass? 35? The receivers have potential but right now they are ragtag motley crew that drops too many passes. This is the only team in the league that hasn’t had a busted coverage wide open bomb.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
