Godalmighty, to see it laid out like that, and to know he still has people that support him, is just bat poo crazy

It’s because those dumbasses in the organization bet the farm to draft him. So they are going to go down with the ship.

This post is not defending Bryce young, but I do want to be as fair as possible.

Bryce's rookie year: Throw it out. Period. That was the most dysfunctional situation I've ever seen in the NFL.  Not just for the rookie QB, but for everyone involved. Fairly certain we had coaches on staff that weren't speaking to one another by the end of that season. The hatred was real. That said, he (Bryce) still hasn't been good enough. I would love to see these numbers without that season.  If anybody has a link for that, I'd appreciate it. 

Play calling. Canales has to make a decision about who we want to be. We jerk so much between trying to be a slow, methodical, efficient offense, and then going no huddle and throwing it all over the yard. I think part of the reason Bryce has the comebacks is because of course he's more consistent when we are throwing it all over the yard.  I think he's better when we are throwing it all over the yard. But that doesn't seem to be what Canales wants to do. This hybrid may be a coaches dream, and guys like Brady may have been able to do it, but Bryce simply can't. 

Edit: This hybrid/indecision in the playcalling and scheme is literally the reason Bryce has so many game winning drives. We try to play slow, and methodical, and take the air out of the ball every single game, every single possession, until the time and score dictate that we can't. Sometimes it works, and we dominate. In most games, we get about 6 possessions, and so does the other team, and it comes down to who plays better in the 4th quarter. When it doesn't work at all, we are trailing late, and have to go all gas no breaks. When we slow the game down, it's more than likely going to be a one score affair. This is also part of why our record correlates so closely with whether or not we win the opening coin toss. It's almost impossible to win the way we are playing if you don't win the "middle eight." 

I'm just not sure Bryce is the guy for the system Canales appears to want to run. I'm honestly not sure Chuba is the back for it either. 

Unfortunately you can't throw out his rookie season. When it comes down to it, coaches being at each other's throats or not, Bryce was the player on the field making horrible decision after decision and in 3 years it hasn't changed. He benefited from being surrounded by superior talent at Alabama with the top recruiting class almost every year and the best coaches money could buy. 

As a top QB prospect, he should be able to elevate his teammates to some extent, despite the coaches. That's not what we see on the field. It was check down after check down, jump throw after jump throw. It's not working. 

He sold himself at the combine. That's his job. Fittershits and Tepper and maybe Morgan bought it. The team and the fan base has hemorrhaged for 3 years since. Stop the bleeding. It's over. There's no saving this failed experiment.

impossible to throw out the rookie season.  Bryce is bad even under really good circumstances.  So yeah, a bad rookie version of Bryce being so bad.....had a great deal to do with that trainwreck being what it was.  Bryce was why the best landing spot for a rookie was an instant nightmare.  A really horrific QB was forced on a staff and team that can't do NFL basics.

I think people fail to realize, if you look at each drive, all the little “oops” plays add up.  Almost every drive, Bryce bails on a play.  If every drive I accept no yardage is a okay for a play.  But the. The next play my RB only gains 2 yards.  Then I try to throw again on 3rd down and 8 and I only gain 6 yards then we punt - that poo happens every fuging drive.  It isn’t the one play.  It’s the cumulative effect of Bryce.  It stagnates the offense completely.  And Canales has tried to give him the chance to showcase himself, like last night, and that is when you truly get to see how bad he is.  One throw away here, one scared to throw so I tuck it and run for a yard there, one could’ve ran it into the end zone myself but floated a loaf of bread to be picked off in the end zone in goal to go…  all that poo adds up.

This is why I'm not throwing canales out yet. Bryce is so incredibly bad at the routine plays that it's really hard to evaluate ... Anything

An article from SI shared by @Gregg S in another thread that deserved a closer look.  Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.


https://www.si.com/nfl/time-for-panthers-to-move-on-from-bryce-young

Young was brilliant against the Falcons in a 30–27 overtime win last weekend, throwing for 448 yards and three touchdowns. In his other 10 starts, Young has 1,673 yards with 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions on 5.6 YPA. 

Ultimately, none of it matters if Canales and general manager Dan Morgan can’t find better play at the game’s paramount position. Going into Monday night, Young had started 38 games (playing in 40). His career EPA is -269.1. For comparison, the embattled Tua Tagovailoa has started 39 games over that same span. His EPA is 123.1.

Since Young entered the NFL in 2023, he ranks 32nd of 32 qualifying quarterbacks (minimum of 900 plays) in EPA + CPOE at 0.029. He’s also last in success rate (41.9%) and EPA per play (-0.074). In short, he’s the worst quarterback in football since joining the NFL after starring at Alabama. 

This is the poo we need, though. Tepper has proven that while he won't listen to football people, he can be shamed through the media.

We need ESPN making this situation their personal whipping boy like they often do when beating a dead horse. 

That's probably the only legit scenario we move on from Tepper's little project player.

either Canales or Young needs to go

Bryce in one play.   The interception in the end zone

1.  If he throws the ball without hesitation, touchdown to evans

2. If he runs it, touchdown 

3. If he throws it away because of the congestion in the end zone, the panthers keep the ball, and can either run it 3 times or run it twice, and kick a field goal

This mistake is not random. 

seen enough.

If the people who want to throw out his rookie season does that mean we get the year back in contract terms?

    • Bryce will be complete ass if the O-line isn’t top 10 or better so you have to shore up the tackles. 
    • Observer article    I left out the specialists which is the 3rd position  Panthers haven’t drafted three positions under Morgan: Will that change in 2026? Mike Kaye [email protected] 4 hrs ago The Carolina Panthers, two years into the Dan Morgan-Dave Canales era, have yet to draft an offensive lineman. That is likely to change in 2026. The organization has selected  three wide receivers,  two tight ends,  two running backs, two defensive backs, two defensive linemen and two outside linebackers  during the shared reign of Morgan and Canales. Those multiple selections at several positions have come at the expense of the offensive line. But there are other positions that have been avoided, too. With the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine ongoing in Indianapolis, let’s take a look at the three notable positions evaded by the organization over the past two drafts: Quarterback Last time position was drafted by Panthers:Bryce Young (first round, 2023) Impending free agents at the position: N/A Current depth chart under contract: Young, Andy Dalton   The Panthers can’t really be criticized for not selecting a quarterback over the past two years. The team invested a ton of draft capital in Young while trading up for the first overall pick in 2023. Young has legitimately rebounded from a brutal rookie year and a whirlwind 2024 season that saw him get benched for roughly a third of the campaign. The Heisman trophy-winning passer posted career-high numbers in 2025, and the Panthers have already publicly noted that they will pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. So, Young will be under contract through at least the 2027 season. His longtime veteran backup, Andy Dalton, is entering the final year of his deal. Morgan hasn’t minced words when discussing his desire to add a younger QB behind Young. The Panthers are hoping to contend long term, and they’ll need to manage costs throughout the roster in order to retain their top-tier talent. Drafting a quarterback on Day 3 could provide the Panthers with a cost-effective backup for Young for years to come. That savings could then help them invest elsewhere. Dalton is guaranteed $2 million this season. If he were to be traded, the Panthers would save $4 million on the salary cap. That’s probably not enough savings to force a move, but given Morgan’s outlook on getting younger, it could lead to at least some consideration. Dalton, 38, could also be bounced if the Panthers decide to target it a younger journeyman QB in free agency. The backup quarterback spot has some offseason intrigue for the first time in a while. Offensive line Last time position was drafted by Panthers:G Chandler Zavala (fourth round, 2023) Impending free agents at the position: C Cade Mays, OT Yosh Nijman, G/C Austin Corbett, T/C Brady Christensen, G/T Jake Curhan   Current depth chart under contract: LT Ickey Ekwonu, LG Damien Lewis, C Nick Samac, RG Rob Hunt, RT Taylor Moton, Zavala, Ja’Tyre Carter, Joshua Gray, Saahdiq Charles The Panthers are set at three of their five starting positions on the offensive line. However, their outlooks at left tackle and center are certainly unenviable. Ekwonu ruptured his patellar tendon in the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams last month. And despite being due $17.5 million in the final year of his rookie contract, Ekwonu might miss a good portion of the 2026 seasonfollowing a notable knee surgery.   Mays, the starting center, is set to become a free agent in March. While he’s played quite well over the past two years, the Panthers might need to pass on re-signing him to improve other positions on the open market. Mays was cut by Carolina in 2024 and lost the 2025 center battle to Corbett this past summer. So, there’s reason to believe the Panthers aren’t totally sold on him being a long-term answer, either. With all that said, both positions have quite a bit of fluidity. Having Hunt and Lewis at the guard spots might make Morgan feel better about putting a rookie at center in 2026. The same sentiment, though, probably can’t be said about left tackle, as the Panthers will want to reinforce Young’s blind side with Ekwonu shelved. Nijman is likely among the internal free agents who Morgan wants to re-sign, and if that pact happens, look for the Panthers to be patient at tackle in the draft. With Christensen, Curhan, Corbett, Nijman and Mays all set to hit the market, the Panthers are likely to have several new faces on the offensive line depth chart in training camp. The Panthers will probably make multiple moves in the trenches during free agency and the draft.   Selecting a long-term swing tackle with starter upside — especially with Ekwonu set to hit free agency in 2027 — seems inevitable.  
    • Making the playoffs as quickly as he did after what he inherited was impressive.  He inherited the worst team in the league with a depleted roster, missing draft picks, and a QB who just had a historically bad rookie season.  I mean it's hard to get much worse.  I wish he would hire someone to call plays because I think that's his weakness, but maybe he can get better there as he gets experience.
