Bryce Young May Be The Answer

[Hoenheim]

Since the benching, he's been playing pretty damn well. That Cowboys games scared me into thinking he may have reverted to his earlier self from his first 18 games of his career, but wow does he look much better. 

17/26, 158 passing yards,  65% completions, 2 passing TDs, 0 INTs . 5 rushes 68 rushing yards, 13.6 yards per carry, 1 rushing TD.  HELL of a day. most important stat. NO TURNOVERS vs 3 total TDs he accounted for.

And this is coming from a Bryce Young hater. He hasn't converted me yet to believing he's the long term answer, but he's made huge strides in making me eat crow. 

I saw some pin-point throws today and over the last few games that have been really encouraging. I saw him complete a pass while taking a gargantuan hit and get up and smile. I saw him running around like he was Kyler Murray today lol. 

If this dude can get us out of the mud next year and lead us to a winning season or playoff berth. I'll officially be a Bryce Believer. Until then, lets just say im cautiously optimistic.

The answer to what, exactly?

I'm happy for him and the team. He played pretty well overall. And a 3TD day should always be celebrated.

I'm still of the mind we need some competition in camp for him next year.

[Panthera onca]

No.

[Jon Snow]

Probably not. But he's all we've got right now so it is what it is.

[countryboi]

We been saying this for the last 4 weeks

[CBDellinger]

Or he may not be… it’s too early to say either way and honestly there’s no reason why we have to decide today.  Let’s just let it play out.  

[45catfan]

No, he's a game manager...at best.  We get to see next year. I think he's about hit his ceiling.

[rayzor]

I'm keeping on open mind.

that might be the best perspective to have, I guess. Next season's going to be extremely important for him and the Panthers. 

I'm encouraged the offense is showing us something this season even with inferior talent maybe minus Chubba Hubbard and Robert Hunt. We played up to contending with the Chiefs, Bucs, and Eagles with a gargantuan talent disparity and a defense that cant stop the run to save their lives.

Fixing the defense would totally change how this team looks

I think the good news is they can build the roster and not be focused on using a high  pick to reach for a qb this year.

God this is so true, though should start with the gate being closed after sucking for a season's worth of games.

Pretty much.  The nfl season is so short and the games are only about 15-20 min of real action so everything is ultra magnified which makes people over react.

I’m not sold, but we’ll see. Another year like this year, or a record like this year, and you have to move on. Next years draft appears to be loaded with QBs. If we finish how I think we will, we won’t even need to move up to grab one. 

I do believe he’s got a place in this league, though. He’s a backup.
