Bryce Young every time I give up on him

[L-TownCat]

He had a good game.  Unfortunately it’s not enough to convince me he can do it against anybody but ATL.  I can’t for the life of me figure out why he can torch ATL but he absolutely can.  It’s crazy.  Anyway.  Still need to move on.  

[Chaos]

I will give Bryce his props for a good game today despite getting banged up a few times. I’m happy the team won and ecstatic it was over the Falcons. We still need a new QB next season.

It’s about his floor not his ceiling. If you really want to be serious and not just fan. 
I really wish I had seen it, I did radio. This is one I am sorry I missed. 
 

This was probably his best game as a pro so I guess the ceiling got raised a little more. But that floor is what puts food on the table.

This is what he does, I'm always happy when the Panthers win and will give BY his props for balling today. Unfortunately BY is like a crazy partner who does nothing but gaslight you into thinking that they are good enough for you, in reality they're not.

He's a backup NFL QB in my eyes and idk if he could do anything short of a SB win to change my mind at this point. 

CONSISTENCY is the name of the game, are you there day in and day out. That answer so far is also NO.

We have the toughest remaining schedule in the league, so we'll see where we go from here. If he could do that to the #1 pass defense in the league, there's no reason he can't keep doing it.

Amazing game.  Canales has to learn from this game.  Bryce connected with 9 different receivers on some pretty great throws.  I thought Coker really stepped up this week.  He had been MIA since he came back but had some really nice catches.  XL when we thought he was dead showed a glimmer of hope.  Bryce owns Tremble a huge steak dinner because that Beast-Mode catch and run was epic.  That pass put him past Cam.

Back to Canales.  Yes, we are a running team, but he has to open it up to make defenses protect more than the running game.  It seemed to me we had a gameplan to spread the ball around. Though we had less than 100 yds rushing they were not going to let Rico get lose. Rico ran hard every play and that was enough to keep the Falcons concerned. 

I was thoroughly disappointed after last week and like many other, had given up on Bryce.  I am still thinking we need a QB that can use the whole field but, if we cannot find one than Canales needs to do better in game-to-game game planning.

The Atlanta FO / fanbase must be pulling their hair out.

He's awful against everyone but them. It's actually quite amusing.

It was an insane watch on TV!

I think the biggest question for most of us, floor, ceiling, in between is WHY today?  Why in ATL?  What changed today?  

In my own moron's opinion, Bryce has looked better than years past when he was overwhelmed and lost.  He hasn't look like that at all.  Instead, it looks to me more like it was just HARD.  There were very few easy plays.  Certainly Bryce has had some terrible games this year, but to me, most games have felt WAY harder than they needed to be by in large.

I think part of that is coaching.  DC has a lot of growth still to do as a play caller and coach.  He's not putting his players in the best places to win.  I'm wondering how they were able to switch on "intermediate passing game" when you have zero running game and Young getting pressured, hit and sacked a lot.

I still have a lot of questions.  I LOVE the win.  I'm happy for Bryce.  I'm happy for the team.  How do they go from here to push hard for the division?  Can they find that FIRE that Bryce played with?

You can't say this team isn't at least interesting

I wouldn’t normally volunteer this so close to the triumph we just saw, but to respond to your point: I felt like he was the reason it was harder.

 Or maybe I should say, his limitations were the reason it was harder. For him and for Canales or whoever. Takes me back to my original evaluation, which boiled down to the thinner margins you get when you give up the athletic advantages. It makes it harder so why pay so much to do it. 

If he can keep his level of performance up to this standard there won’t be any more questions.

Yesterday was one of the best QB performances ever by a Panthers player

That's what's frustrating is that he has glimpses of "oh he can be a franchise guy" and then he has last week for NOLA where he looks no where close to a franchise guy. 

Consistency is a skill and is needed.

I didn’t realize  until now you guys were losing by 14 at one point. Great comeback!

He’s also good against us.

Weeks 1 and 2...again.

It absolutely matters, if you can only play well against one team then you are pretty much guaranteed 2 wins per year!  He threw for more yards today than he normally does in 2.5 games, he played great, not denying that at all and props to him but let’s see what happens when it’s not ATL with one of the worst D’s in the league!  Be happy with the win, I still think we can make the playoffs but let’s keep in perspective.  One great game does not change my mind after 3 years of sh!t play EXCEPT against Atlanta.  Let’s see what happens next two games.

ATL is actually one of the best pass defenses currently. 

First in yards allowed, and passer rating allowed, just looked it up.
