Not sure how being bottom 10 in passing justifies so much confidence..

Our number 1 receiver missed 7 games. The only other currently good WR hasn't played a lot either cause he was undrafted and had to gain his snaps. He has also missed the past 3 games...

Don't evaluate stats that consider the full season. See the progression we've made instead.

Stats aside, it's all about the eye test for me. These last 3 weeks I've seen a franchise QB. If not for a botched snap and a egregious drop, we probably beat the two best teams in the NFL. Both times driving his team down the field to win the game. He's escaping the pocket more, making plays with his feet, making good NFL throws (still want to see his deep ball get better), reading the defense better, etc. I mean, just turn on his film from earlier in the year to now.......it is night and day.

Now, I have to see it for the remainder of the year before I jump on the bandwagon. But if you're still trying to downplay Bryce after what we've seen the last month, then you really do just want to see him fail.

Top team is less than 100 ahead of bottom and has a similar record. This year hasn't been about how many yards you throw for...it's about making the plays when they need/have to be made, and recently we've made a lot more of them then we were. I think that's where the confidence is coming from. You can see it on the TV screen, just not in the W/L column. I don't think anyone who is still grounded in reality is expecting us to be 13-4 next year but I think a winning record is on the table. We got a lot of dudes who are still learning how to play NFL football and how to make game winning plays...it's a talent. That's why the best teams consistently do it.

This is rational and fair.

The Huddle will hate it.

As a huge Bryce critic I have become cautiously optimistic. The biggest takeaway I’ve had from the past few games is he is starting to make some of the off script plays that he wowed everyone with at Alabama. When he attempted that kind of stuff last year it usually ended horrendously.

I am hoping he continues his upwards trajectory and we are able to put together a competitive team around him in the next year or 2 before we have to decide whether to pay Bryce the big bucks or not.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
