I really didn't think he lived up to all the hype myself, I guess I was expecting another Lawrence Taylor coming out of unc, lol. But he did create alot of double teams, along with his share a sacks and qb pressure.

With the 8th ranked defense last year, how much do they fall off this year? I hope not too much, with young quarterbacks and only steve smith as our only wr threat so far, imo, we could be looking at a long season. Any takes on our defense?

Other teams had to gameplan for Peppers and to a lesser extent Beason. Now all teams really have to worry about is Beason. Hopefully somebody on the d-line will step up, but I'm not optimistic. I don't think there will be a huge dropoff, but I don't expect to be nearly as good either.

Truth be told there are a lot of question marks going into this season, and defense is the least of them.

Either way it goes, it's going to be a very interesting season.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.

      Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now.
