In Panthers’ loss to Patriots, Bryce Young needed to be more than turnover-free

No fumbles for defensive touchdowns. No drive-ending, momentum-stunting, scratch-your-head interceptions. No spiked iPads or fiery exchanges with his head coach.

None of this from Bryce Young.

Instead, there was a deep shot on fourth-and-5 to rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan that never had a chance. There were handoffs on third-and-longs. There were moments when pass protections broke down, and Young, instead of dazzling like he so often did in college and in spurts as a pro, answered to the pressure by dirting the ball away from harm.
 

There were surrenders.

Young finished Sunday 18-of-30 for 150 yards and one touchdown. He was sacked once for 11 yards and ended his day with an 84 passer rating. He’s now 1-15 for his career on the road. That’s the worst through 16 road contests since Dan Pastorini reached that mark with the Houston Oilers from 1971-73.

…against a vulnerable Patriots pass defense, different. Young needed to be more than turnover-free. He needed to be special.

 

There are kernels of truth in all this (the excuses for Young).

But the prevailing truth that the Panthers found out is that there is a difference between mistake-free football and turnover-free football. Both require accuracy and sound decision-making, but the former not only leaves room for magic but requires it:

1 of squeaking away from sacks,

2 of giving your receivers the room and space to be special,

3 of Steph Curry look-away passes and smiling after taking nasty hits — plays of which Young has proven capable of making.

But Sunday wasn’t that. Sunday was merely turnover-free — and, simply, not enough.

Still talking about college. Godalmighty

This is what Bryce is in the NFL. You will see a glimpse here and there. But he can no longer hide from his abilities anymore. Above average through high school and college equates to middling or below average in the NFL. Then you factor in his limits due to his size, being thrown into a garbage franchise with a turn-style at the head coach and coordinator spots. It results in the Bryce you now have.

 

had he been allowed to develop under the right conditions it’s possible Bryce turns it around, and still may. But just not in a panthers uniform. You need all world talent to win in charlotte under the current circumstances even a second coming of Cam newton would still be sub-500 with the occasional blow up seasons if there is continuity on the roster and staff.

 

it is what it is man. No hope left here in charlotte currently

Is "Turnover Fred" Bryce's new nickname? Not bad, but we can do better.

Just let his fans have their delusions. Its not worth repeatedly pointing out the errors in their logic. Who cares anymore?

There is no fixing not good enough. He peaked in school and there were plenty of us yelling about it before the pick and shortly after. He isn't even good enough to be carried consistently. Just own it because it was always the truth.
