I don't agree with stifling the confidence of a rookie pass rusher on a defense that gave up the most points in history last season. Unfortunately we won't be able to give opposing pass rushers a stern talking to about stripping the ball away from our QB. It's been an issue for us and it's something Bryce needs to clean up. I'd be much more focused on that as the head coach but it's not my job at stake.

Bro? You serious?

It truly amazes me that there are people in this fanbase so brazenly averse to simple realities.

I mean we're over here desperate AF to establish a culture. Really any kind of culture. And some of you need to have this explained to you why it looks pitiful to try and publicly drag a rookie over minor things like this.

You deserve a poverty franchise "bro".

It looks like some people around here have become so accustomed to the losing and milquetoastery of this franchise under the ownership of the Tepper's they don't even recognize that's what they've become. Sad times for the huddle.

I told ya'll, he was going to make some absurd catches in camp that gets people buzzing because his hands are just off the charts good.

But THIS also wasn't quite what I was expecting, usually he's making stupid catches in practice when a QB misses him and he does his Inspector Gadget thing and his arm extends 10 feet, this was just crazy though for him to turn and have the water boy there in his way and still snag it.

I think you are looking waaaay too much into this. You don’t touch QBs in practice. If our coach only highlights that play more young players are going to try to replicate it. It was simply a greater effort, but remember we are not making contact yet reminder. If that ruins Princely’s confidence (which I doubt it does) he wasn’t going to make it anyway.

Yes.  This.  I know there have been fumble issues that need to be worked on but you don’t just let people lay the wood to your starting qb.  Imagine him getting hurt cause of a hit like this.  Talk about an embarrassment of a franchise.

Great play by the rookie.  Remember, don’t hit the QB.  How controversial is this?

If your idea of building a positive team culture is hitting the quarterback, then I have no words for you. Justin Fields just just went down by being pressured on a pass….. Anything can happen. Let’s lower that probability as low as possible.

Fields was touched? I'm not reading that anywhere.

Injuries happen in camp preseason and the regular season. And they do regularly to positions across the roster. Our backup QB was held out and sent back to the bench over a simple thumb sprain that happened away from the team. If it's going to happen it's going to happen. Going around whailing at rookies with a megaphone like lunatics isn't going to change the fact that Bryce Young is a small QB and he's going to get hit and he also has a tendency to turn the ball over. Focus on the things that ultimately matter and truly effect winning and losing.

Fumbling has been an issue with Bryce and yeah, maybe don’t try to damage the confidence of your rookie pass rusher. 

You're falling on deaf ears here man. These same people will be the first ones slinging all kinds of insults and obscenities in the gameday threads if and when the defense inevitably struggles just like they did all last season. Complaint after complaint after complaint after complaint about the defensive effort and how the defense didn't give a sh*t. It's hilarious.

thanks @Captain Morgan as always with the updates

I'm digging what I'm hearing about Demani Richardson.  He's the guy not talked about as much.  It seems they've got a good grip on what they have with him after a lot of playing time to close out 2024.  Seems to have trust and I'm hearing good stuff.    

 

I'm really excited for Demani, been awhile since we had a good UDFA

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
