So... The deep balls

Is it DC not calling the routes or Bryce not throwing them when we call them. I honestly don't know but am starting to think it might be a DC problem 


He said he wouldn’t call them until they could execute them in practice.

With that said, the deep shots have always been there. Bryce just wouldn’t throw them.

I don't think it is a DC problem, personally, given how we have executed those plays in past games.

On the one hand, you are probably right. But... I definitely didn't see these routes run in the games against GB and NO.

Maybe the saints debacle made DC realize he can't keep calling all routes that are 10 yards or less

Has Bryce ever hit a dude deep in stride like he did today with XL? Im pretty sure thats the first time he's done it in 3 years. No its not a DC issue, in fact, the scheme and receiver play was great today. Receivers were running free all day.

Fair question - my biggest complaint is that we haven't given him the chance to even do it this year. 

That's why I want to see him throw it deep. If Bryce sucks and throws interceptions, then we definitely have our answer of not resigning him

I couldn’t believe how open everyone was. Evans caught a pass today and there was no one within 10 yards of him.

    • The irony is the vast majority of this board are long-suffering Panthers fans.  It is inherent in the nature of it being a message board.  We are a prehistoric relic of glory days past.  The new fans are all on Reddit, discord, and all that other poo.
    • Again, it’s not about that single play.  Me saying that defines his era is reflective of 2.5 years of work.  Yes, Zavala played a big part in that failure of a play, but as the commentators mentioned, Bryce also has to get tf back as soon as he snaps it.  He has always had more issues operating from under center as well.  That all ties in to the fact that for over 2.5 years, he has these inexplicable plays that you never see happen anywhere else.  I’ve been on this Earth four decades and watching or playing football for three of them, and I do not recall ever seeing that happen before.  Have I seen someone fumble the snap in 4th?  Yes.  Have I seen someone try to escape pressure after getting the snap and falling over or flailing around until they were sacked?  Sure.  Throw a pick?  Yes.  Fumble after getting the snap?  Yes.  Lots of bad things can and have happened.  Not even getting out from under the center, falling on your back, then looking like you can’t figure out how to get up until you’re touched down?  Never.  So even when other players are involved in the fug ups since Bryce has been the QB, the point is, it’s some intangible quality that is present with him at QB.  Things happen that shouldn’t happen.  Inexplicable fug ups are the norm. And again, I I fully considered we had 3+ mins and the defense was playing well when I posted it.  I even believed the with the way Bryce was playing outside of the 4th down flubs, that it was likely we could win…  and I am ecstatic we won.  But again, the point of this thread is the play was representative of a much bigger and persistent problem.  Look how great we felt after getting over .500 and then had a gimme win at home against a fuging 1-8 team.  Bryce comes out and doesn’t even show up while getting outplayed by several magnitudes against a 27 year old 2nd round pick in his second start.  That is fuging inexplicable and should never fuging happen.  Brian St. Pierre would’ve looked like fuging Joe Montana in that scenario.  Dameyune Craig would’ve looked like Mahomes.  But it was likely Bryce didn’t even show up.  That’s where this thread comes from.  As good as winning today feels, do I trust him to come back out and do it again next week, or ever again?  Absolutely not.  And that’s the problem.
    • He threw long most of his college career.  He is a superb deep ball passer.
