Young vs WIlliams over the past three games

Recommended Posts

Caleb Williams 

Stats over last 3 games:

48 of 95 (51%), 468 yds, 0 TDs, 0 Ints, 1 Fum, 0 - 3 record

Bryce Young

Stats over last 3 games:

55 of 88 (63% ), 521 yds, 4 TDs, 3 Ints*, 0 Fum,  2 -1 record

*He’s actually thrown 5 TDs to 2 Ints but 1 TD was called back because of a penalty in the Giants game and the interception to Legette could/should be a fumble as it was a beautiful pass.

I know Young and Canales get a lot of hate around here and some of it is justified, but you have to admit that what they’ve been able to do over the past three games with a cast of rookies is a vast improvement from last year .

Both Bryce Young and Caleb Williams finished their most recent game with what would be the lowest yards per pass attempt in the NFL.

I'm fuging thrilled he and the Bears are a dumpster fire right now.

But unfortunately on the bust scale Caleb is 1A to Bryce at 1B currently.

Caleb is still 10x the prospect that Bryce is

He has all the physical tools that Bryce could only dream about having, and that's the difference.

I said it before the draft, drafting Bryce was betting on him being the biggest anomaly in the history of the league at the position.  It was insane then and it's still insane now to think he'll ever even be an average QB in this league, his MAX potential is like 25th best QB in the league, and he still needs EVERYTHING to go exactly his way for that to happen.

His realistic potential is a decent backup because the way he sees the game can be an asset to a QB room during the week in game prep.

Yeah I have been seeing panthers going extra hard at bears fans the last few days and I don't get it. We still got fleeced in that trade and anybody with half a brain unbias would bet on caleb williams figuring it out over bryce in the near future. Plus Chicago didn't give up Hella capital to get williams like WE did. A coaching change which seems inevitable may very well help too unlike bryce.

Both are not ready.

Besides Daniels and Stroud(who's dealing with team issues), no other young QBS since burrow should have played. 

Teams are basically just taking new borners and tossing them into deep waters and see if they can swim. 

Daniels could be headed back to earth once he gets an injury or DC find his weakness.

This brought tears to my eyes.

 

100% agree with everything you said.

Y'all are crazy. How's that saying go: insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results.

Every year, the Panthers get a new QB and when they dont immediatley live up to expectations, everybody wants to get rid of them and start over. Bridgwater, then Darnold, then Newton, then Mayfield then Young and now everyone wants to discard him and start over again just so they can get a Justin Fields or a Trubisky or a Rosen or a Jones or a Mac Jones etc, etc, etc. 

I wasn't a fan of the pick but I'm tired of the revolving door and I've seen enough over the past three games to make me believe there may actually be something there. 

Darnold, Mayfield, Geno Smith were all promising QB's put in terrible positions who floundered and consequently disgarded but through some miracle, are all playing at a high level now. Sometimes development takes time.

Until Bryce can perform and look like the kind of QB folks want to see, he’s going to be criticized and ridiculed.  Somewhat deservingly so.  I’m not a fan of his at the moment but things can change.

It helps the organization far more for him to develop than to bust.  I’ll continue to hope for the former and prepare for the latter.

    • 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.
    • 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
