Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

I will levy a compliment that I never thought I could ever, ever give the backpack kid. He looked like a football player today. Just typing that gave me chest pain. 

Run game was shut down, but he still produced against a really tough D. He dropped a few very pretty dimes, led a 4th quarter comeback to tie, and got the piss knocked out of him a few times. 

Well done, please keep it up.

Weak armed qb carried by an elite RB and a defense that played its head off

seems pretty similar to me

🤷‍♂️ different Chiefs team too. And I wouldn’t say Bryce was carried by his defense today…they made some good plays in the 4th quarter but overall it was a poor showing. Like I said, Bryce made some mistakes but also made some good plays he hadn’t been before. Specifically those lasers threading the needle two or three times in the red zone. He’s not there yet, not close, but he’s trending upward.

We still had to settle for 4 FGs.  That's the main problem with Bryce is when the field gets compacted in the red zone, he struggles.  Yes, he can move the ball between the 20s for the most part, but inside the opponents 20, we have to rely on Eddie P way too often.

There's a lot at play there, including missing JT and Coker. But he definitely needs to get better in the red zone

263 yards, zero turnovers, completed multiple tough 3rd and 4th down conversions and almost beat the best team in the league. Gtfo go be a little emo girl somewhere else

Without the dropped passes he would probably have 300 yards, maybe another touchdown. The balls he threw away were in such a tight window they would have probably have been intercepted. The cbs broadcaster talked about him several minutes after the game and his growth.

He played well, gave us a chance to win. I don’t understand the gymnastics some are going through here.

 

Was he Tom Brady? No.

 

is he the QB of our future? Who knows. We’ve got the rest of the season to figure this out. However as bad as the projected 1st rounders have looked lately I am happy to feel slightly less desperate to reach for one.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
