I’m trying to be positive on Bryce Young, but….

[Day1PanthersFan]

Why make the team and the fans suffer the rest of the season 

Cut him, and sign a journeyman free agent to play the rest of the season

He would be expensive, but Kirk Cousins isn't doing anything

I’m SMH and trying to figure out how Bryce goes from horrible to being top 10 the last 10 games of 2024 to being horrible again.

This is where I'm at.

He's shown that he can be good. He's also shown he can be very...not good

(he's kinda like Revelation 3:15 at this point)

Bottom Line: Unless he can be consistently good for more than just the back half of a wasted season, it's not gonna matter.

[electro's horse]

when in the hell was bryce top ten in anything

how tortured is the dataset to reach that conclusion? Surely it doesn't include the second Bucs game or the Dallas game.

When everything is going perfect (incredibly strong running game, OLine keeping him clean) he can just about brush mediocre. It's damning how much Canales takes the ball out of his hands.

Three first round picks for that, ladies and gentlemen.

Can’t alter the past. Just deal with the bullcrap and move on. Young is already in the rear view mirror for me and I’m focusing on future QB classes

He clears left to give himself a clean look.  And Sanders is breaking to the left in stride, should easily be able to place it well.  Toss it, lead JT to only where he can grab it, it's a 13 yard throw. 

But then he suddenly stops, plants in a terribly awkward position, with his body parallel to the LOS, feet are facing in opposite directions angled outward.  It's egregious for a QB at a D2 level.  

start this at 7 m 15 s and put it on .50 playback speed:

 

I think he was trying to give XL a chance at it in the corner and XL sort of got stopped off his route. He had a defender coming down into his face too which is sort of why he stopped and threw awkwardly.

Still, agree it was a jittery play by BY and I'm sure he'd like that on eback.

Allow me to be the only homer here. 

That game was bad. BY was bad. But I feel like a lot of the source behind that comes down to coaching. 

BY and the team look horribly unprepared to play live NFL reps together. Tempo, rhythm, and feel just wasn't there across the board all day. That's not just Bryce's fault, but how the team is prepared overall, which comes down to the coaches. Enough has been said about starters in the preseason that we can understand what might be going wrong. 

Bryce still hasn't proven what type of QB he is yet. The bounce back from benching is worth remembering because there was some genuinely dope play during that run. At this point, I think he's Jekyll and Hyde, and a lot of that comes down to his mental game. Again, this is a coaching thing, but if he can't get past the nerves and the pressure, he's done for sure...but if he can tighten up, and the team can tighten up around him to at least provide a solid foundation, we could end up looking past all of this. 

It's week one, and a big week one considering the lack of play time together. It's not uncommon for a QB to struggle in his third year, so I'm not writing him off yet.

From what people have been saying, and I agree with them. Is that he was so good towards the end because there was no pressure to win. We were already out of the playoffs so everything was just icing on the cake. Now with a new season and “expectations” his mental fortitude sucks. He just doesnt have what it takes to make the tough and good decisions in critical moments of a game.

This, 1000 percent

…and let’s be honest…do we really think KC or Philly took playing them seriously…I don’t …and Atlanta could see the score coming in from the other game that determined  their fate at season’s end 

he is also better with prevent defenses later in the game

i wish him no ill will but at the NFL level, he just is not fit for it

he is not physically fit or tough enough   His short comings  handicapped the offense   I mean sweet Jesus, you don’t know how to slide…still…had you, that fumble would not have been lost 

Qb, in the league, it is a grind. It is physically brutal and mentally torturous   Everyone is a critic    I listened to a Cam podcast last week about the crap he put up with and he is a tough guy.

look at the year 1 and 2 QBs, will he ever be as good as they are,  will he ever play at a high and consistent level…no is my thought.  It was a mistake then, it is a mistake now 

[Towelboy]

Bryce has no above average NFL QB qualities. None.

Weak arm. Poor decision maker. Short. Slow. Boring. Uninspiring. The dude is oatmeal.
