Bryce Young Is Terrible

No fluff, no crap, cutting right to it:

Someone can be an upstanding dude, want to do all the right things, have the mental traits, but if you can't perform, none of it matters.  And he isn't performing up to the standards of a starting QB.  He had like 60 yards at halftime. 

My one expectation was to not look dead/lethargic.  Expectations were super low.   I.E. - Don't look like the Clausen era and Bryce year 1 where we couldn't even sustain a 1:50 minute drive more than 3 downs and a punt.  All I was looking for was like 2 TDs, F*ck, not even a win.       

When he played "well" last season, he was bailed out with dropped INTs and we also featured a huge amount of empty sets to handicap him. He still had his ridiculous mechanics and flippant pocket presence. None of that has changed.  

You simply can't do enough with him to create a diverse, movable offense, so defense's jobs are super easy.  The Jags didn't even play us that tough.  We couldn't execute simple concepts as an offense, and our playbook is incredibly restricted due to his abilities.   

I'm at the end. I'll let him pleasantly surprise me and make me look like a fool.  

I won't be relentless in my disinterest.  I'm just out.

XL certainly isn't looking good, but TMac was exciting.  It's his FIRST game.

I feel y'all are being way too harsh right now.

Sort of exciting based on the crap we’ve drafted at WR in recent years. I’m still worried about his speed and separation. He wasn’t able to separate at all on the almost TD. It’s not good on a deep route (not under thrown) for a CB to be able to reach around your back and knock the ball out of your back hand. He’s clearly better than our recent 2nd and 1st round WRs but his speed and separation was my biggest worry. I really hope that is overblown.

To think... In an alternate reality we could have drafted CJ #1 and not been this aids 

You all need to understand this, and I cannot be more clear, CJ Stroud would be awful if he came here. We are a QB graveyard. It is not a coincidence both Sam and Baker were awful here and then turned into Pro Bowlers when they left. QBs die here under Tepper’s Panthers, it is just what it is.  
 

CJ also didn’t have a much better stat line than Bryce today.

I feel like with a guy like TMac, separation isn't as big of a deal.  He is usually the bigger man, and can just use his body to box them out.

I don't care how he gets the job done, as long as he does.  Dude has some rare hands.

Granted, I only watch Panthers ball, so I don't see a lot of elite players.

I know this is an unpopular opinion right now, but this wasn't all on Bryce.  We are very predictable, and there were few players today that I wouldn't place blame on.

Did Bryce look good?  No.

He's still the guy going forward for right now and everyone needs to calm down.  We knew this was a possibility.  He either figures it out and we are good, or he doesn't and we draft his replacement.

Nothing as changed about this equation, and we still don't know the answer to the question at this point.

It wasn’t all on Bryce but you’re not winning when you turn the ball over three times and throw for 154 yards. We are lucky this game wasn’t 42-3, because that’s what it felt like. 
 

I watch a lot of football. I am convinced we should have taken Matthew Golden and kept Thielen. Bryce needs a quick hitting offense to function.

No he didn't but CJ is a much better QB than Bryce.

Bryce lives in some realm where the only way he plays well is when he’s not in his head thinking of his own limitations and the offense isn’t being challenged on a talent level. It sucks because I see what the team is trying to do but it’s just not realistic to require the team to be perfect for him to display competence.

Its called not being a DOG

It really doesn’t matter. Bryce isn’t an area thrower, he’s a precision passer. You need guys who run precision routes and gain separation. This organization is constantly trying to fit a square peg through a round hole and it’s to the point that I just don’t care anymore. 
 

we should have taken Golden or Warren, period.

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By strato · Posted

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Absolutely. If we are talking about a 20 year old youngster. He's a grown-ass man, and he doesn't know what his job entails or how to do it? Maybe he will be better next year! It's the Panther way.
