Ex-Panther great Jeremy Shockey on Bryce Young

[panther252]

That's probably as fair an analysis as it gets. Skeptical that he's the long term answer, but not ruling him completely out since he has room to grow. Highs are ok, but lows are very bad. Most of us are realistic and don't think he's the future, but hope he can win us some games because as of now he's our guy.

Remembers the oline failed to show up that game, and Dave didn't stick to the run.   Terrible combination.  

Remembers its never Bryce's fault....

Thats the NFL, shits not going to be perfect every game....You need a QB that can get you through those times, not one that disappears and struggles to top 150 yards.

We're going to learn a lot about Bryce over the next couple, and hopefully more, games. He's as much in control of his destiny as the team itself is.

Everything from here on out is the fourth quarter of the game for him. Everything is a game winning drive potential.

If he makes it, there's going to be a lot in store for him.

If he doesn't, then we and he are all waiting for the offseason to hear the other shoe drop.

The last quote about having a lot of time left... You really want your #1 pick to be it out the gate, but you can't argue he has gotten better every year. The bar was really low, but if he is better next year and the year after he will be a top 10 QB. Just sucks you didn't get that on a rookie deal which is the point of taking a guy #1 overall. 

I noticed that too.  If referring to Bryce's career, maybe.  If he is referring to his time in Carolina, I am not that certain, but I do feel that Bryce has more lives than both of our house cats combined.

In fairness to Bryce, I think it is just as important for the GM and coach to play to his strengths and hide his weaknesses.  

He needs to be surrounded by studs--Rico, Chuba, Moton, Ickey, Lewis, Hunt, TMac--

We have a run-first OL--they are average pass blockers, elite run blockers.  In that regard, Bryce seems more elusive and is extending plays by stepping into the cracks and buying time rolling out--before, he would panic, retreat, and surrender.

I didn’t realize that was his family but if it is, I don’t see two blondes spawning the dark haired one.  Course, hair coloring can fool people.

To clarify, I don’t know if it is his family.  I was just riffing off of the stereotypical professional athletes with modelesque arm candy.  It’s hard to know what is ‘natural’, what is enhanced and what the hell actual age we are looking at.

Sorry if I mislead you.  Just a flip comment that I should have thought more about before hitting ‘submit’.

It’s completely unacceptable to need to wait on a #1 pick this long. His ceiling is a game manager. No way you pay this guy 50 million a year.

There have been way better QBs jettisoned in their first year after a preforming like him. Hes a game manager and not even a good one at that. Dipper gonna pay him...i can just  feel it.

I agree to a point, but if you are a number 1 pick you should be able to cover up weaknesses on the team due to your talent level.
