Underwhelming so far, Panthers may have a star in making

I think there is a slight contradiction in the article. It basically says, "Give Edwards time--a year or more, if you interpret his last comments about Smith's first season. But then he takes the jab at Everette Brown not being a good pick. Brown has played 1 season, showed flashes, and gained muscle in the off season. DE takes a while to master. Why the double standard? By the way, Sorenson is usually excellent, as is his point in 96% of this article. Brown might be a bust, but I would let the year play out before taking a public cheap shot at him.

Hope Sorensen is right. I think by the time he develops it will be too late to help Smitty, I mean we needed somebody 2 years ago. Maybe AE and LaFell will be the new Smitty and Moose combo. My gut feeling is AE is to fragile and once he gets trucked, its going to be tough for him to come up with the ball consistantly.

The loss to the Ravens is significant; it means the Panthers can’t go undefeated in games that don’t count.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      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.

      Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
