Surprised to see this from you tbh, but I know it sucks. I wanted him to work out for us.

Time to move on is right. And the worst part is we are basically forced to continue to play him for the next few weeks because our only other QB might be the only player in the NFL worse than him.

Nothing could be much worse than yesterday. Canales hid him as long as he could. As soon as he asked him to do something the floodgates opened.
I was thinking just hold auditions every week.

anyone know why Bryce Young likes playing on grass ? 

because the grass tickles his BALLSeuceuce...jS

I'm a Bryce defender, but that was so bad it really makes you question everything.

Same crap different year. If Bryce isn't playing at his worst, which is actually difficult due to how bad that was, those people will keep hoping. His improvement got him to 'should be replaced soon' backup level but if you keep looking at where he came from then there is some kind of sad hope he isn't at his ceiling already. I doubt his crew will really turn on him but just say shucks when the team finally dumps his arse. Waiting on the blind to see is a lot like waiting on Bryce to turn into a decent starter.

None so blind as

None so blind as those who will not see. 
 

They don’t want to see. Is it a ‘safe space thing? Who knows…. 
 

Dallas was his ceiling, and he has not been able to raise his floor.

He played well for the whole game.  It wasn’t any of the suck for three quarters and do just enough to win. 
The worst or almost worst defense in tne league. You get into the middle rankings, nope.

It was the worst D choking on Rico's revenge. 'Playing well' behind that was just not making mistakes. It's a gift and allowed him to get his QBR to a whopping 53.1 and the only player with over 50 yards receiving was...Rico. A sub 200 yard game agaisnt one of the worst Ds with the RB going off like crazy. That's nuts lol

Ahh yes, Bryce's superpower:  making middle aged forum dudes lose it!

I'm sure I'd be lumped into the Nut Hugger category since I started the season pretty measured, and I can admit when he makes some good plays.  So flame on?

The reality is that Bryce has shown he's good at the subtle aspects of being a quarterback.  The gamesmanship, those quick twitchy movements to get a pass off.  Those are some good plays he's made, but they results in a 12 yard play.  This season, when going down the field (a rarity) he's been pretty much a turd.  The moment seems to big for Bryce.  I'm glad he got mad yesterday, but the only person he should be mad at is the one who he sees when he brushes his teeth.

Bryce isn't the guy.  We're just kind of stuck right now with a middling QB class in 26.  So what do we do?  I think we're stuck with Bryce playing for at least next season.  I think the Panthers NEED to go get a young vet QB to push him.  Time and development are important, but Bryce has had plenty of time right now.  He's not developing.

I want Bryce to do well because that means my Panthers do well.  But I think it's pretty apparent that Bryce Young is not a franchise QB.  He's a back up level player.  We swung hard and missed.
