Now boarding the Tony Pike Bandwagon...

The more I read up on this kid the more I like him. Has a real soft touch on the ball when he needs to drop it in a tight spot. I have read a few sites mentioning his "Brett Favre" like toughness, playing through pain and injury. Won the Johnny Unitas award and has show blue collar work ethic.

Seems like more of a leader than Jimmy Jam and has had to scrap for every bit of attention he has gotten while leading Cinci to an undefeated season.

All Aboard!

He has allot of potential, just needs to put some weight on or he's gonna get snapped in half.

He's 6'6" and 235 pounds. That's pretty big. Besides, he won't have to worry about getting snapped in half while he's holding a clipboard.

The question is, can he be as worthy of your obsession with backup QBs as Chris Weinke was?

Well, one thing is for certain, any of our three guys could step in and perform better than Jake did last season. ;)

Well, he's certainly got the looks to hold a clipboard, which is a point in his favor. Have you noticed how the Observer runs his picture any time they can, instead of Clausen's?

But we're the Panthers, and we play our goofy looking guys while the dreamboats ride the pine. Sorry bud...

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offense trending upward given the investments we've made. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
