Bryce might be my least favorite football player of all time

I also get that feeling like he’ll go to grad school or start a hobby farm after this. It just doesn’t feel like he cares like a #1 pick would. 

Seems so weird considering his college career, like obviously being a great Pro player is much harder but still how do you go from Heisman winning greatest Alabama QB this era to worst starting QB in the league, I don't get it. I know he had an injury his last year in college but that shouldn't effect his "processing" skills the way something has

It's about his playing style. I pointed all this put leading up to the draft. He'd usually take the snap from shotgun at Bama and immediately drop back another 5+ yards after that and then just kinda freewheel standing square to the LOS surveying the field. That can't work at the NFL level for several reasons. 1) you can't create a pocket that deep at the NFL level. NFL edge rushers are too good. 2) Standing square to the LOS like Bryce did now once you see where you want to throw, you have to flip your hips to get in position to deliver the throw. That means both your receiver needs to be wide open and you need ample protection. Not happening in the NFL. 3) On all of his deep throws he needed to be able to step up and through the throw to generate power. That rarely happens in the NFL. It happened recently against Atlanta and he played great but that type of time and room to operate just rarely happens on Sundays.

Bryce was IMO always a prototypical great college player who just doesn't translate to the NFL from a talent and stylistic perspective. I don't know how he fooled football people into thinking otherwise.

All people (that get millions) had to do was watch that LSU game against Bryce in 2022. What they did in that game was the closest thing Bryce was going to see every Sunday, and he struggled mightily. It's kind of ironic, that game was the most Bryce game ever. He threw a redzone int early, it took him 51 passes to even crack 300 yds, he held onto the ball too long, he couldn't see down the middle because LSU was busting up the middle, he short armed a bunch of throws, etc. 

You would think our scouts and FO that get paid millions would have easily saw this red flag, yet they chose to ignore it and based their decision of his backyard football highlight tape lol Meanwhile CJ Stroud faced a defense that was going to be similar to what he was going to see every Sunday and passed with flying colors.

I mean, Lawrence Phillips, Rae Carruth…

Yeah I hear you. I was convinced he was a bust before they took him. So three years was coming down in a block when they did that, in my mind. 
I didn’t think I’d make it but here we are, with the threat of a 4th year hanging in the air. Demoralizing for sure. 

Key is, he said “football player” not human being.  But the fact you mentioned Phillips and Carruth as potential candidates they were more unlikable says all we need to know about just how BAD Bryce is at football.🤣🤣🤣

i just am not sure how much longer they can keep him as qb1 its pathetic to watch.

As long as the Teppers want him to be QB1, he will be QB1. Don't be fooled by the owners disappearing act. He still has his thumb on the scale.

Lots of players to dislike for a lot of reasons but no one player has ruined watching Carolina football like Bryce for me.

Since before game 1 he has sucked the life out of the games. And it's not just him, it's everything around him too. That trade, the need to constantly coddle him, a lame playbook he can run...it just keeps going. He is basically the Rhule of QBs for me at this point in effect.

I think he's talking about football play.

Bryce the person has nothing to do with those two individuals.

Because he never was all that,it was bullshit, I don't know why this guy was hyped so much.

He wasn't that great at Alabama either. 

Mac Jones was a better QB for Alabama and I didn't want anything to do with him coming out of college.

The Bryce poo was a total mind fug.

He has a long way to go to get to the level of Romanowski, Burfict, Suh, Incognito, Collins, Caruth, Hernandez.

 

He isnt an NFL QB but I dont think he is a bad person

Yea none of those guys made me willingly miss Panther games,Bryce has. And I'm not the only one, a lot of us feel this way.

He has to go after this season, Idgaf what he does down the stretch ,when the season is over take his football career out back and put us out of our misery 

I really don't give af that he is all nice and gee whiz golly off the football field. Aww shucks. Mickey mouse looking motherfuger.

I'm  talking about on the field watchability. Even if Bryce sucked but was still occasionally entertaining I don't think I would have stopped watching in week fuging 1. And I don't think he is a bad person at all either, but that doesn't mean he should continue to be the Panthers QB, and frankly if you compare almost anybody to murders, sociopaths etc that person will come out looking like a great human being.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
