Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

Highest paid OL in the League, a pair of hot handed RBs and a pair of 1st round WRs.  I have factored that in and now that the defense is playing much better, this team should be rolling...truly rolling.  Yeah, I know, three wins, but the cushy portion of the schedule is over.  Can Bryce lead this team to wins over quality opponents or will he simply keep relying on a heavy dose of our rushing attack and hope the defense continues to hold up?

Seriously, all of this.

We're squeaking out wins against some of the worst teams in the league right now, and really on the backs of our defense and running game.  Making a few decent plays a game doesn't make for a good QB, it makes for someone who made a few good plays a game.

It's baffling to me how some people can still look at Bryce and think he can still be our long term solution.

Decent stats and this is a really good timeframe to show. That being said, not #1 overall stats and still need to see more from him to commit long term but was good seeing him finally get a road W against a good D today.

And the highest paid player on the OL is out for season 

Where guys are drafted means squat. XL has been terrible. 

I’ve seen this said now a few times and man it’s some terrible logic if you can even call it that. Spending money or draft capital doesn’t mean Jack if you whiff on what you spend it on. It’s crazy that even needs to be said.

Bryce is 10th in the league in Pass Attempts.

He is 21st in Passing Yards (and will still be passed by Penix, Stroud, and Mac Jones before this week is over)

He is last in passing yards among QB's to have started all 7 weeks so far this season.

Why do any fans seriously think he should even be in the discussion for our QB beyond this season?  

He's not going to become some MVP level playing QB the rest of this year.  At best, he's going to have just enough above average games to make you forget about the other way below average games and think he deserves yet another season as our QB, just like last year.

Those stats put him at the bottom of the league.

If not for a terrible jets offense, we would have lost today.

This team can’t win on Bryce’s arm. Slow the run game down, and the panthers O has nowhere to go.

None of those things has ever been the issue. The issue is his yards per attempt sits around 5.5. Average QBs usually are in the 6.5-7 range. 
 

Well and his random fumbles

The issue isn't the YPA, the issue is the reason why.

And it's because he can't consistently drive the ball downfield with accuracy and on time.  He has multiple throws every week that the average NFL QB is able to make 90% of the time, but he can't throw if he's not perfectly balanced and even when he is, he can't put enough drive on throws 20+ yards downfield to get them into windows before they close.

You can't win consistently or at a high level in today's NFL with a QB like that, and it's not something he'll ever be able to do unless he starts pumping himself full of all sorts of steroids and bulks way up.

Really like the TD-INT ratio. Passing yards is not great. Completion percentage is low. 

I think he's a just above replacement-level QB, and I like his game-winning drives. But these numbers aren't aamazing.

3 tds (including rushing) to 1 int is a ratio you like? Won't even get into the many lost fumbles Bryce has had...

Bryce has been barely above replacement level in that stretch (if that)

Ding ding. He and the staff know this which is why they focus so much on the short game.

Remeber the ATL game his first season when he had all those INTs? I think that is when he realized he couldn’t deliver the ball fast enough.

A QB who can't consistently throw the ball 20 yards downfield has no business being a starting QB in this league.

That is a backup QB who you put in there to manage a game when your starter goes down.

#1 overall pick that plays like anything but that.  If Bryce was a mid-tier FA QB...say Samker Darnfield, his tail would have already been cut.  Bryce's sunken cost is why Tepper is determined to make him work. Dave is going to try to file down that square peg determined to make it fit in the round hole.  

Anyone that sees Bryce progressing beyond what he is now is just wearing rose colored glasses.  He's a low end-to-below average NFL QB.  This is pretty much his ceiling. Leaning heavily on a League best rushing attack and a defense that finally can stop opponents while generating takeaways.  Bryce's role now is to not screw it up.  Not the inspired QB play it takes to win more than a few games versus trash opponents nor eventually make noise in the postseason.

    • There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
    • I told somebody that today, the old QB adage. If you have two you don't have one. People forget when we had Double Trouble, there still was a clear edge of carry volume going to D-Lo until his departure. NFL is cut throat and if it takes us eventually bailing on Chuba to feature Rico, that decision may have to be made. 
    • Exactly zero people on the coaching staff or front office are hoping the Panthers get utterly destroyed. This is why people can't take the constant Bryce bashing seriously. Get a clue
