If he throws for damn near 4k and 30 TDs, he's in contention for comeback player of the year if our record is above .500

To hit 3900 he'd have to average around 230 or so. Reasonable expectation for a franchise QB but Idunno if I'd make that bet yet.

Well he averaged 226 last 7 games so he’s trending in that direction. 230 average is attainable especially with more weapons now

3842 25 10 would be a really good year for him and would shut most of his doubters up.  I have been a harsh critic of his, but I hope he can contjnue to play like he did the final 10 games last year. I would like him to clean his footwork up tho.

I respect that -  most fans want him to succeed and I think he will.  They just need to be able to handle the ups and downs without losing their minds.  There will still be some stinker games sprinkled in.

I think as far as rushing that's a bit of an enigma. But we should probably go ahead and unblur the line between possibility and sheer hopium. I do not think any of us should want him running in the open field. Extending plays with his legs? Sure. Expecting him to have 5 rushing touchdowns? Idk how realistic that is. And all it's going to take is one big hit and bye bye that goes.

My good brotha Bryce had 6 rushing touchdowns in 12 games last year

My biggest fear is what if he puts up just okay numbers. Numbers where he wasn’t bad but not great either. Just middle of the road. That makes the decision a lot tougher. Because that would mean his numbers did improve but it’s not as good as you wanted.

then we would have to think about giving him another season to prove himself.

All of those but 1 came within a 6 game stretch at the end of the season and 2 were in the final game against Atlanta. I think it's premature for anyone to say it's going to be a long term possible part of his game.

And just for the sake of clarity and realism let's remember at one point when Sam Darnold was a Panther fans here were hyping up his rushing ability and that whole narrative got shut down against the Falcons. And Sam Darnold is a good bit thicker than Bryce Young.

Suffice to say while I want him to have some scrambling ability I don't want him to go out of his way to risk himself and at the end of the day if he's going to become a franchise QB it's going to be with his arm anyways. We'll see how it goes.

No.

You don't go to battle with "middle of the road" at the most important position.  You need to see real potential to win games from your QB.  You're not trying to find "Don't lose this game for us", you're trying to find "We need you to win this game for us."

Last year's first overall pick threw for 3500 yards, 20 TD's and 6 INT's and his season was considered disappointing.  Now, I don't really get that, because his stats were very similar to Jayden Daniels, who people just gushed over.  All that to say, stats don't really tell the complete story.  They can be a guidepost, but only one of a number.

Bryce needs to look like a guy who is going to win games for you.  Like this:

People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.

It was disappointing because if you watched the games you would know that 2/3 of those stats were put up after the game was out of hand.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
