Incredible. Teams are going to stack the box, let’s see if young can capitalize.

Yeah everyone is saying that and it is logical. Rubber meets the road at that point with Young. And the OL subs.

To put this performance into perspective, this Dallas defense gave up 450 yards and 3 TDs to Russell Wilson who’s since been benched in favor of a jobber from 1995 wrestlemania 

Indeed. Caleb Williams had 298 yards and 4 TDs. Jordan Love had 330+ yards and 3 TDs. Cowboys suck this year.

Only Jalen Hurts week 1 and Bryce Young had fewer than ~300 yards against them. Still happy with Young but perspective is valuable here.

I agree Bryce played well yesterday. And I've said all a long what we were missing is more 15-20ish yard completions (which Bryce was I think 4/6 on yesterday, pretty good).

But the fact we don't go deep more often is very clearly not because of our receivers... TMac routinely beats his guys deep. When he isn't crazy fuging open, Bryce has often missed him. And when he or others are crazy open they do need to slow down for Bryce. I am less concerned with 40 yard bombs, personally, and we have the personnel to threaten 20 yards down field regularly, so hopefully that continues.

Now Bryce escaped pressure very well and found the open players. He spread the ball around well. I'm happy he did well and I hope that is more about him and our offense than the Cowboys.

Tmac routinely beats his guy deep? Not really. He's been given the most opportunities deep I think. And he isn't making the play because there's a DB draped all over him. I think he's going to be a fantastic WR for Carolina, but he is not a deep threat. At least not the type that runs past the defense. He's more of a jump over the defense.

Just speaking for myself, it's year 3 and at the end of the season it's going to be pivotal in regard to Bryce's future in Carolina. I wish it was as easy as sitting back and enjoying the season, but the next 5 years or so is going to depend on his performance this year. Just the nature of the beast. 

Oh, I don't disagree. And I've been a regular critic of Bryce's over the years. I just don't see a single real reason to kick the man over his performance this week. Heck, this whole team looked like it deserved to be on a pro football field this past weekend -- something they haven't looked like for a long time.

And I'm going to take a chance to just smile about it and feel good for a bit. Reality might settle back in on this team, or maybe something cool will happen. But man, let the dog wag it's tail when the sunlight suddenly falls on it for once.

He's been given the most because he is relatively often open and to stop catches DBs have thrown themselves at him. I'm talking NFL open, not cowboys forgetting to cover receivers open.

I’m not complaining at all, not that you were mentioning me. We had a great time watching the win.

I still agree that I don’t think Young is the guy. If we somehow got to the SB, it would be because he Trent Dilfered it. I still don’t see him as the guy we can compete for a title with but it’s been way more fun to watch with my son who went to the Miami game. Our schedule gets tough though so who knows.

You're right. And he's been on the upswing, something that's been a long time coming. And over the last few years, we woulda been better with a Trent Dilfer out there considering everything. 

But right now, we got a W following a W the week before. It has been a while since we've been there. And we're at .500. I know that's only a C grade right now, but man, after so many F grades in a row... it's kinda refreshing to be here.

Is Bryce a long term answer here? He's still got a long way to go. Could he do it? Those three touchdown passes he made were bang on, high performance throws. And they finally game planned him pushing the ball down field. It was against a weak Dallas defense, but at least they were running a game based on attacking weaknesses of the defense rather than covering the weaknesses of our own team.

Maybe both Canales and Young are maturing before our eyes.

Oh I'm not kicking the man at all and any win over the cowboys is a good one. I just want long term success for us as fans. We deserve it. One of my favorite moments as a Panthers fan was watching Dieon talking smack all week leading up the playoff week and getting knocked the fug out. Hating the Cowboys is just one of those things you enjoy doing.

I could definitely be wrong. I just don't remember those plays. Can you tell me what teams they were playing?

I agree. Eventually young is going to have to show if he is, in the words of cam, a game manager or a game changer. Nothing wrong with manager, but eventually, they are going to have to win games themselves, let’s see if it happens.

Game managers, in the traditional non flattering context, are placeholders. Pretty much. 
And represent the mediocrity that Big Tep swore to ban from the building

    • No it's not, there isn't a single coach who's only job is to win games, because no coach is going to win games unless they're also improving the quality of play out of their players. For coaches with contending teams, winning is their #1 job, but I think it's a more than reasonable take to say that coaches of not yet contending teams winning comes second to making your players better. We have 11 games left, if you gave me the option of winning all 11 of the games in terribly ugly fashion to where we don't improve the quality of our players vs we lose all 11 games, but do so in spectacular fashion where our players show significant improvement, I'm taking option B every time. Because option B is the path to future and long term success, while option A is a path to short term happiness at the expense of long term franchise stability.   And yes, that is clearly an extreme example that could never actually play out in either way, but you still know what I mean.  And no, it has nothing to do with draft position, it's about how good will these players be a year, 2 years, 3 years, etc, down the line, when you hope to be a true contending team, because nobody actually thinks we're that type of team this year unless you're literally crazy
    • Yeah if that's what we're signing up for here, then I just can't get behind it.  That contract extension that Hurney gave Jake that offseason was BRUTAL.
    • That's quite literally his only job. Every year has new goals, new identities, etc. But the one constant is to win at all costs. He isn't guaranteed to be here next year UNLESS he wins. Why would he give a poo to mold a bunch of players someone else might be coaching?
