Lol yeah but let Legette only get one foot down and he’ll breaks loose.  
If it weren’t for double standards…..

Bryce Young can't throw over the middle & has trouble throwing down field to a fast WR like Xavier Legette. i am not saying it's all Bryce Young's fault but at the same time Xavier Legette probably could not have been drafted to much more of a worse situation for his type of skill set to be properly utilized & developed ...just saying

I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else. 
Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame. 

I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man. 

Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look. 
And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

If you're spending the offseason talking about how your qb doesn't suck, he probably sucks. 

Heater!!!!

So Bryce can throw to t msc but not leg?  And that's because of braces perceived limitations? 

fug I just got stupid.

I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative. 

He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said:

"Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers." 

That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway.

Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay!

In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

And the Seahawks being as good as they were last year still gave up 212 passing yards a game on average, I think BY was the only guy to throw for less than 150 against them

Purdy only passed for 127 yards week 18 and then only passed for 108 yards in the playoffs. In those two games he had 0 TD's and 2 INT's and a fumble. Mayes in the Superbowl had a total of 63 yards with 0 TDS at the 13 minute mark in the fourth quarter. He only had success when the Seahawks went into prevent defense. Philip Rivers only had 127 total yards in week 15. Boomer with the Vikings had 126 yards and 4 INTS in week 13. Cousins had 167 yrds week 14 and while it was over 150 yards, he also had 2 INTs with 0 TDs.

Yeah Young didn't have a good game but neither did any of these other QBs. And while he had the lowest yardage, he was the only other QB that at least had a TD - Philips had the other.

It is because there is not a good connection. We saw it with Renfro too. He was getting open and wasn’t seeing the ball. 
You can explain that however you want to I don’t know how to say it a different way.

I could see it being on a timer with Bryce because he can't see anything, he probably got way more reps with T-mac to throw to an exact spot, where the other guys are a little looser and the qb that can see the field can adjust, I think Bryce just throws to a spot on time the majority of the time hoping it hits there, and if not he usually just throws it out of bounds

I think you are on point with the throwing to spots. It is the only way it could work if you can’t see your target. 
 

And to backtrack just a little, these incompatibilities seem to show up more with Bryce at QB than I remember seeing with other QBs in the past. Not really user friendly for all users. 
 

I don’t know why and don’t expect an answer, just observing. Maybe my perception is not in line with reality.

 you have to do several things for anticipatory Qb like Bryce Young & one of those is the ability to win off the line because he reads the field & releases the ball before the WR is open that's an area Xavier Legette struggles ...just saying

Yeah horrible combination to have a short timing/spot qb and a physically talented WR that has no natural instincts
