So is this a Bryce issue, a Canales issue, or a non issue?

Because Bryce can’t throw a true deep ball. 

Lol here we go.

This will get better when we have a completely healthy O-line and a dynamic WR with good speed (possibly someone like a D.J. Moore).

Facts. But why haven’t they tried to throw a deep ball to Jimmy Horn? 

I would guess because it wouldn’t align with the conservative management.  We are taking our rare deep shots in advantageous scenarios….to big WRs.  

Bryce historically puts balls on dudes and often creates jump ball/contested scenarios at high rate.  Ball placement remains spotty.

Horn is tiny.  Likely not a a very good WR yet in terms battling through contact down the sideline and having to deal with a potential contested catch vs bigger defenders.  If it turns into a jump ball scenario the dude ain’t going to morph into 89.

But when people say, Bryce Young doesn’t go downfield…..this is what they are referring to. 

He goes downfield less than every starter in the NFL…..minus 1.  And high odds he likely made a move out of last place the last 3 weeks

He can’t. Just because he’s playing better doesn’t mean his arm magically got stronger. You’ll never see a Hail Mary from past the 50 because it wouldn’t make it to the end zone. It is possible to be objective.

I don't buy that - not saying he can throw it on a rope, but he can get enough air under it for a Hail Mary.  Bryce will never be like Cam who used to throw lasers, he requires throwing more with anticipation.

How many passes have you seen that were not completed due to a lack of arm strength? I mean I get he doesn't have the strongest arm in the league, but this narrative that he can't throw the ball 50 yards is ridiculous. Now can he throw it 40 yards on a rope with a defender at his feet? I seriously doubt it. But those QBs are a rarity. Not the norm.

Too many people on here would rather be right than the Panthers win.

I think it's skewed by the first half of the season.  They seemed to have opened it up more in the second half.
