Believe is a weird word for this. Believing in him does not make him better. 

Do I have confidence in him? Kinda. He did much better the last half of the season. I'm fine with going into next season with him as the starter. However, it feels like a trap at times and I really want them to go find somebody as an insurance policy that isn't 40 years old. 

What happens if he "loses his confidence again" or goes back to what he was doing. Then we are talking about drafting a QB again. OR what happens if he tears an achilles or something. He has been durable so far but you never know. 

I wouldn't go do anything crazy but I would have a competent guy behind him. There will be cheap options to pick from:

  • Drew Lock
  • Jacoby Brissett
  • Jameis Winston
  • Justin Fields
  • Carson Wentz
  • Cooper Rush

etc.

If he was cheap I would like to see what Canales could do with Fields. If Field could read defenses and throw with good mechanics, he has all the physical talent to be a great starter as well as backup.

5 td's in one game is beyond impressive.  He has earned his right for this to be HIS team until he shows otherwise. 

It was impressive for sure but Daniel Jones has scored 5 TDs in a game before & Nick Foles scored 7 in a game. Young looks great though and hope he keeps it up.

I agree.

What I like most about Bryce is that he has played some of his best ball during crunch time.  By the end of the season, I felt like if he had the ball in his hands in a close game, we had a good shot at winning.  And that is what the great qb's do.  I felt the same way about Cam from 2013-2017.

That being said, he has to prove he can get better, and play well consistently, just like anyone else.

Didn't say that, just saying making the pro-bowl one time doesn't mean much to me.  

It would be a good sign though. When a Panther makes the pro bowl they usually deserve it. Small market teams don't win the popularity contests too often.

Yeah, I mean I think for me, the 5 TDs was very impressive, but 21 total TDs over 12 games started indicates a decent-to-high level offensive production, especially given the circumstances (defense, mainly). So reason to be optimistic, but like you say, others have given reason for optimism before and not delivered in the longer term.

Fwiw, I could see Daniel Jones having a resurgence elsewhere - if he isn't broken anyway.

Believe he should start in the league and for us next year? Yeah for sure.

Believe in the height of his ceiling - in any way? Believe he's our franchise savior? Not yet.  He's played decently for 3/4th of a year, which isn't really enough to be sure of much. Hopeful, for sure, and looking forward to next year.

pretty much where I'm at

Biggest thing that concerns me is if he comes back next season and is overthinking again. It was clear the whole 2nd half of the season he was coached to get the ball out to the first or 2nd read within 2.5 seconds, and if it’s not there throw it away or make something happen with your legs. 

Now he could get better for sure at reading defenses to move to 3-4th read but I hope he doesn’t try to go overboard. Conversely, an offseason with his receivers and some time to look over film might do wonders.

Every team has fans that doubt the QB if they haven't won a Super Bowl.  You'd have to be pretty naive to think that even Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen don't have doubters within their teams own fan bases.  Bryce will have doubters until he wins a Super Bowl here.  So the topic of the thread is stupid.

The other half of the equation is that it doesn't even matter.  Bryce is under contract and there's no impetus for changing that at this time.  There's 17+ more games (barring injury) to evaluate him, and for him to continue to improve.

There's no need to draw a line in the sand right now unless you just enjoy doing that.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      Not the biggest fan of PFF grades long but they made an interesting point on their commentary this week Bryce Young is presently per them one the worst “deep passers in the NFL” this year.   Which was the comeback narrative of being great at it.  But PFF deep is actually intermediate.  It’s 10 yards.   During his comeback he was able to get off those intermediate passes because of the big shift defenses went running man and blitzing.   where Bryce struggles the most to date is just being asked to stand in the pocket and throw into coverage.   And really struggles on top of that if folks start disguising stuff.  (This part is me….and his small stature and arm struggle facing that)  so I would expect people just don’t give him man.  Dial back the blitzing and just ask him to play into coverage with his arm.

      While I wanted Stroud I was ok with the Young pick. I didn’t judge. Not even his first year. No knee jerk reactions. Allowed time to watch him learn. It’s into year three and it’s time. He sucks. It’s true this franchise sucks too obviously with other players AND coaches doing much better after leaving.  Unfortunately it’s a severely dysfunctional franchise and the only thing that will save it is a true generational talent at QB that this inept FO actually lucks into picking or high priced elite vet if that is even possible who would come here over other places or Tepper selling or keeling over. Things that are just unlikely to happen.   The Panthers are literally the new age Browns.

      I knew he wasn't long for the league the first time he went flying through the air like idgaf.
