  1. 1. It's been so spirited for so long, let's draw some lines in the sand. Where do you fall on the Bryce spectrum?

    • Full-on fan - He is our Franchise QB, present & future
      4
    • The door is still open for him being the answer
      52
    • The door is closed barring a major run
      69
    • Nope, he's not the answer - Doesn't matter what he does

Still uncertain...

Can he play in the NFL? Yes, he can.

Can he win games? Yes, he can.

Do you have to build the right team around him? Of course you do, same as you do any other quarterback.

(the idea that's somehow a weakness is silly)

At the very least this qualifies him to be a quality backup.

But is he a long term franchise quarterback? 🤔

I'm not fully confident enough to say that yet, but he's at least trending upward.

And I'll take that for now...

the problem with that logic in 2025 is that our "alex smith" is going to want 4/5 years at 50 million per.  Its a different time then even 7-8 years ago.  You cannot cripple yourself unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is your franchise guy.  And I think even the die hard bryce guys cannot look you in the eye and say that.

 

At the absolute worst I think the best scenario is either draft a dude or sign a vet, kick dalton to the curb and let them fight it out.  No fuging way has he earned the 5th yet

Well, I meant that he could be that type of player for us for 2 more years max. They should at least keep him through the full rookie contract unless we are offered a stupid trade for him.

The team has been slowly leaking this to folks the past 2 weeks.  Whether its in articles or podcasts this is something the panthers/teppers have been floating.  Subtle but its there.

 

They arent going to change a goddamn thing next year.  And hopefully its just the 5th year option and not a massive extension.  In short we are fuged

You definitely can't trust a lot of the current team sources, IMO. Seems like Tepper has purged a lot of the old guard and replaced them with a bunch of scared loyalists. I think the most you are gonna get leaked to the media is company line, for whatever that is worth.

I think in general terms in the nfl the trend has been, if he is good enough for the 5th year option then he is good enough for an extension.  With the assumption of pay now, or pay a lot more in a couple of years.  I dont agree with this at all as it locks in a qb and doesnt take advantage of the rookie deal.   I cannot think of a team that simply let a qb play out his 5th year option and then made a decision.  The giants and jones were 4 years and then they gave him a big deal and since have moved on.

You cannot read this passage from the article and not think it didnt come from Mint st.

 

Schultz reported "his combination of accuracy and clutch play has led to exciting times in Carolina, and a sustained internal belief that Young is a true franchise QB."

He isn't a franchise QB and is a great example of a guy you don't want on anything other than a rookie contract. He isn't even worth a 5th year option. 

I don't think he could win a real competition against many other journeyman QBs. Once the Jets are done it's going to be the same old when the running yards get harder to come by every game. Can't play the worst defenses every week, even if that's what it feels like now given how easy the schedule has been so far.

And we have no idea if that is what they actually think at all.

Someone to whom a lot of us owe an apology. He was right about Matt Rhule.

PS: Love the "Clausen to Newton" scale 😄

Bridgewater does seem like a good upper end Bryce comp. But....ultimately that IS a career backup player. Not sure if that would have been different had that terrible injury not happened but we dealt with some similar issues while Teddy was here that we are dealing with in Bryce.

That may end up being his ceiling.

Still unsettled for me...

I think by the end of this season we really need to have a good idea. I suppose the picking up of the 5th year option seems relatively inevitable unless he falls off a cliff in terms of performance. 

I suspect this decision on his future will still be unanswered during his 5th year.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
