Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

He has long ago ceased to offer hope he was ever worthy of the 1.1.  Now it is just, can he be mid? 

Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water".

The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB. 

THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.  

so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce. 

Y'all have a great Easter.

Same for you Bryce Truthers. Bryce is not a good QB. The coaches know this. But if they don’t and they strap this team with a QB like Bruce for 4 more year they need to be fired. 

I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield.

Geno smith and baker mayfield were both considered busts on their first team.

Name the percentage of IT'S that take that kind of control of the offense in year 1. ... in year 2.... in year 3....ever. 

Modern NFL fans have no clue.  Every modern QB is rushed onto the field to take advantage of their rookie contract.  This doesn't change that fact that it takes 3 years for that to happen normally, without any set backs. 

By the way, you guys that want to keep labeling me as a Bryce defender...your weak ass poo doesn't bother me.  It's obvious that y'all are biased.  

Once again.  Have a blessed Easter.

Why would you want to try and win with a bottom 3rd qb?

I think they think he can get a little better and be a mid level starter.

If it was me, I would have picked up an actual backup before last season and benched Bryce for good after the first Saints game.

I mean, I'm just stating who he must have been referring to, and presumably that means that he must think that he has a good idea of what he'd like for Bryce to look like at this point. I'd argue that Baker was never a bust per se, but that perhaps he was overdrafted. Geno was never able to sustain the limited success that he had. Perhaps it was him or the situation he was thrust into, but he's never really been all that. But, again, Canales should have an idea in his mind for how far along Bryce should be in his growth.

It's not twisting anything. Bryce needs to take the next step, which I said in so many words, but whether he will or not is anyone's guess right now. If he does, he'll be secure, if he doesn't then he won't be. Moreover, having his seemingly annual slow start is not really indicative of someone taking the next step. This is the season to improve, if he doesn't, then we will be looking to upgrade.

So Bryce has been in the league 3 years. I wouldn't even count his rookie year with the horrible weapons and coaching staff he was surrounded with. Year 2 there was growth after the benching. Year 3 he was able to build off that and play a lot more consistent and eliminated a lot of the back breaking plays he made in his first 2 seasons. He has progressed. Is it as fast as everyone would have liked it to be? Of course not but he has absolutely not regressed. He needs to take another step forward this year but let's not act like he hasn't improved from year 1 to year 2 to year 3 because he absolutely has.

Bryce Young has started each of his first three seasons in the league playing like one of the worst QB's in Panthers history. And even with his progress last season he managed to get swept by the Saints with a rookie QB. Can't really sugarcoat all that.

We don't need to see middling. We need to see high end production.

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house.
