The tide finally turns... Even Bryce nut huggers at PFF finally admit the obvious.

I'm reminded of that old joke: On the third day of his captivity in a barn, Eagle Eye noticed that the barn was missing one wall... 

"I don't think they have the quarterback who confidently attacks beyond 20 yards down the field... Of all the teams in the NFL, if the Carolina Panthers are not running the football well, they're the team I trust the least to get away."

 

"So Young, ughhhhh, I don't think he's playing as well as last year... Sort of unspectacular hard regression... He's gone into this just, he's not moving the ball. We were defending the pedestrian stat lines last year... but he's not playing well at all this season. He's one of the worst QBs in the NFL in terms of PFF grades this season, and that's been I think real. He's not playing at a high level."

You could tell during the game the tide was turning on him. Fans that had supported him, media, etc. 

I think everyone wanted it to work for him. He's cerebral. He seems like a genuinely nice guy and a good kid. 

He's just not cut out for NFL football, and no amount of good will or rose tinted glasses can hide that anymore. 

The end of the "next Gen stats" era of evaluating QBs. We just happened to be holding the bag when that revelation came to light. Sorry, but sometimes you just need to use your fuggin' eyes. And if you're mortgaging your future, it should be on a guy who looks like a football player.

If we failed after picking Anthony Richardson at least I’d say dude looked the part. Bryce Young was so obviously not up to the task it’s sad.

I mean there was another QB that absolutely looked the part and demonstrated his abilities in his first season. We'll see how he works out long term, but we had a solid option that passed the eye test.

That's the thing. I think if you were objectively watching him play and not desperately clinging to a narrative you kinda knew how his NFL career was gonna go based on his college play. All the lack of physical tools was evident. The stylistic issues of immediately backpedaling 10 yards behind the LOS and standing square to the field waiting on one of your future All-Pro WRs to break open while future NFLers blocked for you to then try to flip your hips and get in position to throw a wobbly wounded duck that your receiver would adjust to... none of that poo was ever gonna work in the NFL. 

Of all the highly drafted QBs in recent years he was THE one that I was just like "yeah, I don't see any chance". Most of the early reaches the guy at least has top tier physical tools even if he has a ten cent head.

It is a big time indictment on ownership. Along with the other indictments. But Bryce was the major offense.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.

      Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
