HC and OC are wide receiver coaches. They'll get him to his potential. But we still need a speed receiver. We have to have the biggest lumbering WR corps in the league.

If only we had a 4.39 WR…oh wait.

Let’s be honest, at #8 no defender was going get our defense ranked more than 27 out of 32 in one year. In my opinion I rather see whether Bryce has the stuff, cause I don’t think we know yet. This way we get to see entering year 3, whether he has a future here.

Fair point. The problem with our D last year was primarily our D-line and we plugged that up in FA. Our defense still isn’t top 15 at this point, but none of the players available were going to make us top 15 next year (in 2 years probably). Draft has a lot of players left.

If you think tet doesn't have concerns then you are blind. NFL Dbs are a whole other breed. Big with hands don't make you great, the guy is gonna have to develop some serious toughness to survive in the league. Defenders will get in his grill and stay there and he better learn to start liking watching film or he will be outta here in a few years. 

This guy couldn't pretend to love football for possibly a difference in millions for his first payday.

Rockhead. Absolute rockhead.

The crashouts are worth it no matter how this lands. The Walker fanboys were  as annoying as the day 2 Darnell Washington fanboys a couple years ago.

If you haven't noticed the people crashing out over the last 7 years have been right.

This. And frankly, an improved offense can do a lot for a defense. When your team has confidence their offense can score on their stops, that makes me feel at least more motivated on defense.

If you think the problem with the defense last year was the offense, then I don't know what to tell you.

Historically, historically now, one of the worst defensive units of all-time. COME ON!

A big reason why we should be hoping for XL's continued development as his 4.39 speed is going to be important to taking the tops off of defenses. 

Straight line long speed is severely overrated.  Especially by the panthers front office.

I said months ago it would be Walker, Graham, or McMillan. OK with it.

 

I do like how nobody had a clue. Walker was a smokescreen but not for the person that seem to have been leaking it would be. Double smoke screen.

"People around the leage" had no idea what they were talking about.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
