Bryce developing before our eyes

[TLGPanthersFan]

Bryce’s longest completion was 25 yards. He tried a 30 yarder but it was incomplete. Still need to see more completions 30+ yards. 
But Byrce excelled in the short to intermediate which as a player of his size he should.

That's where over 90% of the game is played.

We also don't have the home run threat for those 30 plus yard plays

KC was ranked something like 17th in pass defense, which is lower than I thought. 

I thought Young did a good job not throwing it to them though.

that's true but the 25 yarder is in general an easier completion if the defense is afraid of the deeper over their head threat. I'd file that in the 'harder than it has to be category' that you will have to work around when you deal with limitations. 

He played really well though, not saying he did not. Legette left his feet again on that drop 30 yards down the sideline.

If this Bryce shows up and Horn has a bounce back game against Evans I think we can beat Tampa this week. Hopefully with the holiday Tampa fans wont be traveling.

They might if he could catch it. He's dropped at least 2 home run balls that hit him right in the hands.

That throw had 40+ air yards on it. He needs to stop trying to high point a ball that’s hitting him in stride

Yes...the whole great defense thing is for the run game. They are average against the pass.

 I was watching the game again when I saw this reply so it only took a second to find it. I marked it as from our 44 to their 17 maybe 18 when the ball hit Legette's hands. So yeah very close to 40.

I hope that's not all he has. But with it being pretty accurate I am thinking he stayed within himself and didn't sell it all out to get the ball down there. Which selling all out effort wise negatively affects accuracy. So that's good.

If I remember the earlier one, he left his feet on that one too.

It was a perfect throw on a rope, if he can do that consistently you don’t need much more in the NfL

Well I closed the game already without checking his footwork on that one but in general he has improved his mechanics. Not much regression yesterday, though it looked like he was flirting with it at times. 

I thought they would pressure him more and was hoping to get a better test of how far along that was, in terms of has it 'taken'. Because it is the same scenario with the Buffalo preseason series where he had adopted the 'proper' form and got improved ball flight and zip and accuracy, the whole deal and then when NO started hitting him and pressuring him it did not take much time for it to all go out the window. 

That's still the big test to me, of if we can expect to see him operate at the level required.

I get that. But he still is struggling to throw the ball effectively downfield.
