This is an article done by pro football reference. It shows the avg age of the teams in the NFL last year. It also breaks down the offense and deffense. We were very young last year compared to most of the NFL what are the Panthers going to look like this year.http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/06/how-to-measure-team-age-in-the-n-f-l-and-what-it-means-for-2010/

I suspect we will be one of the younger on offense and the youngest on defense across the board. What will that mean for 2010, mistakes and typical issues that occur with young teams. Hopefully we have good chemistry and stick together when the going gets tough. Even youth can be compensated for if the team shares a common goal and they all pull together. Otherwise there is infighting and locker room issues. We haven't been known for that so hopefully we avoid the drama and stay together. I do think that Fox has a pretty good coaching staff who can get the most out of the young players.

According to our roster on NFL.com our average year of birth is 1984-85, which suggests our average age is somewhere between 25-26. Which judging by that link, will definitely put us at the youngest end of the scale, but not by much. One thing to consider is that we will lose a LOT of the UDRFA, so our average might shift slightly closer to 26 after we start trimming the untalented players from our currently 84 man roster.

I bet with our young age we are one of the highest penalized teams in football next year. That will be our Achilles heel. We will have a lot of energetic young talent, but sustained drives do to defensive penalties will kill us on more than one occassion. Mark my words. Still, should be very fun to watch all these guys develop into great players. I'm most interested in watching Norwood myself.

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
