Yup. Bryce will likely play us out of position to draft a better QB prospect if he plays the rest of the season this well, but we will want to bring someone in from FA.  

It's annoying because most decent qb's can do what he did today, but when it comes down to needing a deep ball out of the pocket or a qb sneak etc he's not physically able to do it. His arm did look better today but it still comes down to those game of inches moments where defenses know he can't do certain things so they can game plan against the obvious alternatives

Same here. This is probably only the second game that I can say I would truly impressed with the way he played. Hopefully he will make me eat crow and be this good for the rest of his career for us. 

There are a few freak athlete talent edge rushers in the draft. Since I doubt we get Travis Hunter, that should be the way we go

Agree. I was really impressed with Young. First time I felt like he was possibly good enough. The Thielen PI in the end zone was a solid pass and the drop by Legette was a perfect pass.

He was on point today, more accurate than I ever recall before. Heck, he was even making decent decisions when no one was open.

Sucked to lose but damn fun game to watch, especially the drive to tie it.

They're a pretty mediocre team being carried by an all-time great QB. That's five games they've won on the last play of the game. Literally half of their wins they've had to pull it out literally at the last second. That's crazy.

Their defense isn't bad either. They just aren't the offensive juggernaut they used to be, outside of Mahomes magic

Their offense is plodding.  Losing Hollywood and Rice were huge blows. Losing Pacheco didn’t help either… their screen game just isn’t there.

If he plays like this the rest of the season, they'd better be bringing in another backup level vet, and focus on defense and weapons in the off-season.

Minus him having a career worst year.

It's really been the defense carrying them.

Yeah, their D definitely carried them today making Bryce look legit while Mahomes went for three TDs and the scamper to get them in range for the game winning FG.

Their D has been good this year but their overall offense is basically trash. That's what I mean by Mahomes carrying them. Mahomes is 12th in the league in passing while they have a bottom 10 ranked rushing attack and only two receivers ranked in the top 100 (Kelce at 34 and Hopkins at 73).

They honestly looked shocked that they went toe to toe with the Panthers lol. Their locker room speech on TV was like yeah we got work to do lol.

Right but there's no reason we can't invest a 2nd or 3rd round pick in another young QB as an insurance policy.

It's crazy that basic notions like this about what is best for the team elicit such emotional tomfoolery and poo reactions.

I can guarantee you if Canales wants to be a successful head coach he feels the same way about the position.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
