Seems like even reddit has shifted.  I think that place coddled Bryce more than the team until now.

Yeah there's a pretty substantial switch this week.

The more tape there is, more evident the reality becomes.

The footwork, shallow jittery drops that give him no sight lanes, frenetic pacing, slow pocket speed, inability to outrun IDLs, poor placement, and really, he can't move the ball unless he's running empty sets or has an easy dump off.  He'll have 2-3 good intermediates per game (if that).

Yea but this is year 3.  That’s been happening for a while.  Just interesting that this particular game flipped a lot of folks.

I'm saying it just takes time.  

With this game in particular, even though it was turnover clean, it somehow made the inability to do anything decent that more obvious.  It was just straight up inefficiency and misses. 

Daffy duck'd

Why does our local paper not print something like this? We have to get a NY org to put the truth in writing?

Local papers have to care about Tepper and what he thinks because access to the Panthers has changed since Tepper bought the team. 

 

The NY Times... Well they don't give a fug what Tepper thinks. Lmao

The book is out on how to defend him. 

It's not the offense because the throws are there. It's literally BY. 

If you defend the boundary numbers out, instruct your pass rushers to stay disciplined to impact throwing lanes, drop LB into shallow zones with two deep all that's left is bait throws over the middle that lead to turnovers, throws out to the flat, outs and comebacks. If you're defending the boundary correctly all of those throws will be contested heavily and lead to little yac and big plays.

 

All the other team has to do is survive the scripted part of the early game and sit back and let Bryce inevitably panic.

Can't throw a pick if you throw the ball into the dirt with no one within 10 feet of the spot lol

If just looking at him and can’t see it maybe you could figure it out from how teams play us - they don’t respect his game.

His footwork saps the velocity from an already below average arm and it hurts him. The margins shrink when the ball takes that extra tick to arrive on the longer throws. You could foresee this too, I mean come on. 

NFL defenders are not college defenders, the NFL is as fast as football gets. You have to beat those defenders.  There were valid questions about whether he could, that ended up with bad answers.

Eh I would easily rather watch Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor play qb than BY. Would be an extremely hard sell even for a team that shitty lol. 

Yeah. I came to understand that even if we could somehow scheme up some wins with Young, and we probably could… I don’t like watching that brand of ball.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
