Bryce Young will have a Brees career arc. I doubt it will be with the Panthers.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I think similar in that the team that drafted him will trade him to another team and then he will retire with said team. 
 

I think the gazillion yards, stats, Super Bowl details and longevity will be different but from a 50,000 foot view, the arc looks similar, yes.

Brees had legendary elite footwork. Bryce will be the same as he is now until he fixes that + stops panicking in the pocket. Bryce fixed it somewhat last season but has completely reverted back to rookie season footwork and pocket awareness, for seemingly no reason

I've thought since day 1, even though I wanted Stroud, that if Young was going to be successful he would likely look like Brees to start and end up taking off later in his career on a new team. Unfortunately/fortunately so far that looks to be spot on. By every metric aside from Yds/g, so far in 2025, Year 3 Bryce Young is significantly outplaying Brees' Year 3. My feeling is that the Bryce Young we saw at the end of last year was actually just a sneak peek of the player he is to become in a year or 2. Weather he will be on the Panthers or another team remains to be seen, I just hope if he isn't on the Panthers when he does play like the back half of 2024 for full time that we at least have our version of Philip Rivers in his place...

Unless they sow another arm on him to replace the one he has.....then no.

Thinks he knows better than his coaches, and is gonna do it his way.

I've been saying it. Bryce will be a star one day just not with the Panthers. I got poo on for posting this.

He was supposed to be successful once we got him a number 1 receiver. Thats literally what everybody said going into the off season..that was  more important than fixing other issues. It was supposed to "unlock him"....but that has kinda underwhelmed as well. Now it's gonna be on another team. The goal post keeps getting moved and they act like nobody notices it.

Yep just like Baker as well

Bryce’s issues don’t often stem from him not seeing the game. Overall he’s reading the field just fine for a 24 year old 3rd year QB who is in a terrible situation 

Eventually he’ll get to a place where guys are actually schemed open, there’s speed around him, there aren’t constant breakdowns in protection and he’ll be just fine

Are you really comparing QB numbers 20+ years apart? 

We are in the age of the offense where QBs are putting up historic numbers and the NFL is continuously changing its rules to cater more towards explosive offense. It has allowed guys like Brees, Rogers, Stafford, Brady etc to play well into their late 30s and even their 40s.

I don’t even want to imagine what Bryce would look like playing in the early 2000s NFL.

There sure weren’t a lot of roughing the passer calls or pass interference calls either

strong OL, strong backfield...huge investment into tons of different young receiving options of all varieties.  In no context has that every been described as a terrible situation for a QB.  Just in Bryce Young defenseland.

Let’s put some real money up bro. 3 years from now Bryce is a starting QB in the NFL. Name the price. Blank check.

So even though Legette is a massive bust apparently that doesn’t matter because we invested a 1st rounder on him. Tough to argue with that type of logic. 

Our 100 million dollar guard out for the year. OL hasn’t been good this year. But again there’s a pattern developing here logic wise 

3 different head coaches. 2 GM’s. 3 different play callers in 3 seasons. Yah that’s checks out and sounds like a good situation for a young QB

Smart.

Everyone but Bryce is trash. Nobody ever helps poor Bryce Young. Not like his running back had a career day or anything.

And you guys wonder why you can't get anyone to agree with you.

Can't make chicken salad out of chicken poo. Bryce ain't got it.

I just watched that feel good mic’d up but come on, he killed the first coach deader than Legette’s supper. The second was an interim. He is really on his second coach.
