The Panthers’ Offensive Spending Is Misleading — and Bryce Young Is Paying the Price

The second leading receiver for the panthers is literally a running back. Like right now in 2025. 

Well it used to be a TE, or was he the leading receiver. 

As long as we get the production from somewhere (such as it is); this QB will use the hell out of a RB if the RB can be used. 

As a secondary comment, I always though that was really what the Brooks pick was about. He was supposed to be ready for camp IIRC. 
 

Not endorsing the decision, just diagnosing it btw.

Yeah, but he had a reliable WR in Thielan his first two years, and T-Mac this year. Not a stellar group, but he was billed as "a point guard that distributes the ball well." He hasn't been. Even our dipshit owner said having Bryce would save us from having to spend resources on WR. If you've got a good QB and good OL, you usually can get by with a mediocre WR corps, but we have Turnover Fred.

Thielen wouldn't have been higher than WR 3 on any other team but the Panthers though. Look what he's done with the Vikings so far. Every starting WR that was traded/released/ not resigned hasnt done anything for another team but they were Bryce's #1/#2 WRs during their time here.

Johnson, Mingo, Chark, Thielen, Marshall Jr.

Most of those guys were the WR1 during his first two years! That is a crazy terrible list. Throw in the fact that XL has looked more like a typical Panthers 2nd round dud than a true 1st round pick like DJ Moore or even Tmac and you can easily see that the Panthers have not done a good enough job with surrounding Bryce with NFL talent at the skill positions

That's not to say Bryce doesn't deserve his fair share of criticism. He absolutely does. He has a lot of terrible turnovers and makes some pretty bad throws/reads. I think he's limited in the short range, screen passes etc. And doesn't have good enough deep throw accuracy to keep defenses honest. We'll see what happens but if Bryce fails the Panthers front office definitely had a part to play

      I need to actually do a full analysis but I think the issue was more that we'd rarely have top-to-bottom awesome drafts but we'd frequently have drafts where only 2-3 players panned out, but the 1st is a Pro Bowler and the other two solid starters or backups. We rarely had drafts where only 1 player was good, and we never had absolute useless drafts. At the very least we always had one really, really good guy. The worst was probably 2005 where we got Thomas Davis (Hall of Honor-quality player) and Geoff Hangartener. Evan Mathis was good, but only after he left.

      Hurney wasn’t good with contracts but I think he was probably above average at drafting.  Not saying he was great.  Just that most draft classes are worthless.

      Ehh, teams earlier this season double and tripled teamed him with decent success. The reason he beasted out so much with Miami was for some reason they did not much at all. Bad call on their part. But that is his purpose. If he is eating up people that is huge, and theoretically should give others the ability to make a play. But his surrounding cast to do that isn’t great. Brown is something OCs have to put a lot of time to plan for.
