I just think it's remarkable how Dave Canales turned Bryce around. I don't know if it was intentional, but clearly benching him and letting him cool off was an excellent move. I think Dave being coy with who will be starting has also been intentional. My personal theory is this is two fold: 1- it takes the pressure of Bryce to feel like he has to be the savior  and 2- it doesn't just hand bryce the keys without letting him know that just because you're the first overall pick doesn't mean you are guaranteed to be a starter 

When Canales was hired we all hoped he would get the most out of Bryce, he has done that in a very circuitous manner

I am glad for Young, the franchise and the long suffering fan base 

no one wins if Young collapses 

he really needs to continue to ball out

very winnable game at home Sunday…with what looks to be a near national audience 

panthers need to win this game. Draft position be damned 

I just wonder how much of Canales’s playbook is altered for Young…and what happens when NFL defenses shut down Young’s preferences and read his tendencies on film…can we adjust

I never lost hope that he could turn it around. But he definitely needed to be benched after week 2. Just to be able to sit back and watch and work on your mechanics in practice/behind the scenes.

Anyone who’s played sports knows how tough it is to try and implement changes during competitive play. You get in your head and think more than play. I believe that’s where he was at. Trying to focus on this footwork, or reading that coverage, or not rolling out this way, where there was no room to actually react and play QB. I play tennis and at the end of a bad day of practice, sometimes it’s best to just call it a day and try again tomorrow instead of putting your head down and pushing through.

My honest take is diontae johnson was not the only player who threaten Dave if he kept BY at QB. 

Again this current BY is NOT the BY of last year and first two weeks, just a totally different player. 

I feel the part where he needs credit is he didn't commit to BY even when BY was ballin/well. He wanted BY to take over and claim the QB without him answering the question.

Plus the game planning and play calling has been on point this last few weeks. Dave is a rookie at this too. Plus much like BY, I had nearly 0.0 faith in either, but that number is around 20 and I longer feel tortured watching. That's huge form where each was.

totally agree with every point, particularly the last one

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
