One thing that stood out to me is that Bryce Young’s “happy feet” no longer seem to be an issue. He’s starting to step into his throws and manage the pocket like an NFL starter should. That was the key difference in his play yesterday compared to previous games. His mechanics looked much improved, and it paid off with accurate, well-executed throws.

 

If he can maintain these good habits and avoid reverting to “happy feet,” he might break through and start showing flashes of the player he was at Alabama. Of course, it’s just one strong performance. He still needs to prove that his poor mechanics and inconsistent play are behind him. But yesterday’s game was an encouraging step, and time will tell if it’s a turning point or just a brief highlight.

Easily JTO's most positive film review of Bryce. The anticipation shout outs, shouting out the play calling and design from Canales, the ball placement, the way he suddenly is able to stand tall and climb the pocket where necessary. There's something worth keeping here at QB all the sudden. Shocking turnaround.

I don't want anyone to expect Young to play this well Sunday, because he won't, but seeing him do it against KC was great. He's made a lot of encouraging strides over the last few weeks and he deserves credit there.

If he can lead the team to a couple more wins, he'll play them out of drafting his replacement. And if not, well, there you go.

I have been on that for a while, I agree. It is the mechanics for him that get him to where he might be able to stick in the NFL. Because when he does not focus on getting his base right he loses velocity and also it delays his release slightly.

He doesn't have velocity to spare. Also, he nutted up and stood taller and stepped into things and that made a huge improvement.

He is throwing off the back foot into pressure but his feet aren't running away at least and it has worked out lately. He threw the deeper one to Sanders like that. That's much better than turning your back and running. 

On the realism side, I don't think some of those plays vs KC were on film. I don't remember seeing a couple, there could be more that they put in over the bye that I didn't identify as new. I still don't know how he is going to see where to throw it once people start studying what is working for us and figure out the spot he is throwing to. We'll see.

If you could tell me how he is going to play I’d like to know in advance so when I’m cooking up my parlays I can maximize my money this Sunday. You’re either a real deal hater of Bryce and I’m not mad at you if you are he’s looked terrible for way to long or you don’t want to admit that Bryce is getting better each week. Because I definitely expect him to play at that level or better this week he’s been building on each performance since the benching. He know has his ace back if Cooker plays this week I expect more big plays this week then last week. I expect the same or better comp percentage. I don’t see why I wouldn’t except to see what I’ve been seeing the last 4 games are you saying he peaked out be LC and is going to turn back into panic man in the pocket Bryce this week I need your input so I can degenerate sports bet player prop my friend lol.

He could easily have a Colt McCoy-ish career. He had a very long backup QB career.

Good luck with that. I'm not a "real deal hater of Bryce," I've given him plenty of credit where it's due. I'm glad you're excited about how he's played lately. I've been impressed, too -- but let's dial back the expectations a bit.

Bryce had a great game yesterday, but these receivers are getting little to no separation, and they rarely get YAC, so Bryce is gonna need to continue to throw perfect passes which I don’t think it’s possible on a week to week basis. We need Legette to break out, and idk what happen with Coker yesterday

The anticipation has really started to show up the last 4 weeks 

One of the best balls Young has thrown was that deep in (dagger concept) to Legette against the Saints

Then yesterday the anticipation was next level and consistent throughout the entire game. The only reason we were even remotely in that game yesterday was because of Young

There are a lot of QB’s in the league that won’t ever throw with the type of anticipation Young showed all day yesterday. 

I really hope Young gets in the damn weight room this offseason. The ability to anticipate and read defenses at a high level is clearly there. Now it’s on the Panthers and this staff to continue to build a team around him

WR is still a massive need for us 

This is easily a bottom 3? 5 for sure, WR group in the league 

And our TE room outside of Sanders is utterly useless as well

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 600 I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
