Bryce Young Can't Take the Pressure

It’s not even the pressure. He literally doesn’t have the ability to play QB against an NFL defense when they are actually trying. 

The Cardinals were trying on the 2nd to last drive, but the pressure (I don't mean pass rush) was much less.

He seems able to be a good QB when he has little to no pressure on him, e.g. last season near the end.  But the start of the season when we're still a competitive team, he really struggles.

Also he needs to just start chucking it up to Tmac the way he used to Thielen.

Suspiciously it coincided well with when the score got very close, too.

What's the excuse for his play in the first half?

Not making one.

Young got off to a bad start, but had the team within a score of winning from 20 points down. Then that last drive suffered a lot with Corbett and Hunt both out.

That's not a "biggest bust ever" performance, especially not when Xavier Legette plays as badly as he did.

He had a lot of good moments. It's disingenuous to make excuses to discount them. Evaluate him honestly.

And on that front: To be clear, I'm still not convinced we need to stick with Bryce, but the "worst ever" talk is kinda silly.

XL is definitely a worse player, but was taken at the end of the round.  What we traded for Bryce makes this so much worse.  But this thread isn't about Bryce being the biggest bust ever, lol.

I did evaluate Bryce honestly - but when it mattered most, he didn't come through.  That was true last game, it was true at the start of this game, and it was true at the end of this game. He no longer has teh excuse of not having a good WR, T-Mac is clearly incredible. The fact this dude needs perfect play from the people around him t o have any success is also ridiculous.

Let's be honest about his play, not just in a handful of 4th quarter drives with the game seemingly out of reach.

edit: Bryce is arguably the worst starting QB in the league over his career.

No small part of that is his inability to deliver when games actually matter.

I’ve been a Bryce defender from the start.


But after this performance I can’t sign off anymore. I was waiting for him to scan the field and throw it to the open guy for 12 straight plays so we can win the game on that final drive.

He did not and we lost the game. I can’t imagine how angry I would be, defense and special teams stepped up to the plate and gave us a chance at the end and we let them down. This win would have been SEASON defining. Now they go home and wonder what it would take to win with Bryce.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
