QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

Bryce has flat out and consistently been one of the worst if not the worst starting QB in the NFL over the last 3 years.  Anyone worse hasn’t played all 3 seasons. 

We are having to play painfully archaic and safe football given he is our QB.  It’s winning in spite of him being the QB almost every time we find a win 

that’s just reality.  
 

and Bryce is statistically, pretty much unchanged.  And our wins are all on the back of Rico…..minus the Penix implosion.  And Bryce did nothing that Atl game either 

Bryce's first season he had a shitty coaching staff and shitty supporting cast. Last year he had a new coach, shitty supporting cast and no supporting cast. He's had his ups and downs but has shown that he can manage a game, make some great throws, run, do whatever it takes to win. Thank God football is a team sport because your QB should not have to single handedly win you games. The more time goes by, the more he looks like he understands his ability, what he excels at, what he doesn't do well, and he gets more comfortable and confident. He's got some new targets, some coaching stability, and the record is showing that. Hate to break it to you. Would you rather have Burrow who had an MVP season with no playoffs? TEAM SPORT. How about Burrow out hurt again because of his shitty team? Flacco who took over for him threw 4 TDs yesterday and lost. TEAM SPORT BRO! TEAM. SPORT.

I hate to break it to you…..but in the year 2025….the Panthers pass attack isn’t much more threatening or productive than Bryce’s rookie season. 

yeah, give me Joe Burrow 8 days a week lol

it is a team sport.  And you are highlighting the inverse.  Naming non-weak links.   Bryce is the weak link in Carolina and this season is probably the best evidence of it to date

TMac is one of the best young receiving targets and is just starting to scratch the service. Already a huge upgrade.

I don't think you understood my question, would you rather have an MVP QB that is constantly hurt due to shitty line play and having to play hero ball, missing the playoffs regularly or a game managing, point guard of QB that has you in the playoff hunt and is available and winning games.

Anyone in the world is going to take Burrow thats a non quesiton.

Also point guards can pass thats Bryce's weak point.

I just don't see how. The physical tools just aren't there. The ceiling is really low. I knew his physical talent ceiling was limited coming into the draft but honestly even as a guy who didn't want Bryce in the draft because of that, I still significantly underestimated just how limited he was going to be on an NFL field.

Yea his off platform and ability to make plays like he did in college just hasn't translated. He was never going to be a prototypical drop back passer. He has to make a living going outside the structure of the play call and he hasn't been able to do that anywhere near a consistent basis. However he did make some plays yesterday when he needed to. Not that we couldn't have gotten that from anyone else but I've definitely seen plenty of good QBs come up short in those situations.

If we replace Bryce is gonna be with a veteran like Geno Smith. And if we don’t fix the pass protection the offense will continue to struggle

Burrow or Bryce? Seriously? 32 out of 32 NFL coaches are taking Burrow. Remember we paid 100m to put Bryce behind a good offensive line. Just because Cincy isn’t managed well doesn’t mean anyone in their right mind is taking Bryce and his 3 years of mediocrity over Burrow’s elite level ability.

Yes it's the lines fault.  Always an excuse.  Its never on baby boy Bryce

I wasn’t aware we had offensive line issues.

A guy who can run play action well, with Rico, could slow down that pass rush.

I understood.  Again, give me Joe Burrow all day, every day and twice on Sunday over Bryce Young.  Because when Burrow is ready to roll they are worlds apart.   Joe Burrow elevates everyone around him and is a legit stud QB.  

Bryce Young ain’t  winning games.  Rico Dowdle and the Panthers have won multiple games in sort of anomaly fashion repeatedly in spite of having a backup caliber QB.  In no scenario would I pick a backup caliber QB over Joe Burrow. I can just play a backup when Joe can’t go 

Burrow had lead the NFL in comp%, yards and passing TDs.  A multi Pro Bowler.  A postseason QB.  An MVP candidate multiple seasons.  No way in hell am I picking the Bryce Young Panthers era over that if given the choice of the two.  

this Bryce schtick is sad and whack.  And a healthy % of the Bryce “hate” is just pushback on absurdity

Are you kidding? Geno Smith isn't the answer.  i would say there might be one or two backups in the league that could possibly step-in and be better than Young.  I've mentioned Sam Howell but that's about it.  You want Canales to QB whisper a Trey Lance or someone else.  Maybe but that QB is NOT going to come in and replace BY right away.

Awesome idea.  Let's make Cincinnati an offer.  I'm 100% sure they are ready to give up on Burrow. That is if you can keep him on the field.  He's been available how many games over that past 3 seasons?

Getting Burrow is about as realistic as finding the allusive Rainbow Unicorn. 

Do you realize that Young was responsible for 19 of the 40 yards on that final drive? Rico had 21 yards. Both of those completions were for first downs.  That's what game winning drives require.  It doesn't require the QB to throw the ball each and every down.  You do know this?

It's clear that you won't give credit where credit is due.  

While Bryce isn't your typical "Franchise QB" he's running the gameplan our coaching staff designs.  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Bryce sucks because you say so.

Geno fits Canales and fits the O.  It’s why Geno worked in Seattle and not Oakland.  He is a deep ball passer.  NFL is about fit. 

Geno would beat Bryce out in 2 weeks in a real camp battle.  Which ain’t Geno praise.  It’s just recognition Geno is a round peg and that is what we are lacking
