Analysis

Positives: Short, but has a legitimate NFL body. ... Rare straight-line speed and agility. ... Loose hips to turn and run with receivers. ... Good explosiveness out of his cuts. ... Closes quickly and gets his hands on passes. ... Soft hands for the interception and can high-point passes. ... Good body control to contort in space and make the athletic catch. ... Good returner with experience fielding both punts and kicks. ... Plays with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. ... Not afraid to mix it up with the big boys and is willing in run support. ... Reliable open-field tackler who flashes surprising explosiveness as a hitter. ... Has forced three fumbles.

Negatives: Might be too short to play outside. ... Inconsistent. ... Relies on his natural ability and can be beaten with double-moves. ... Experienced in zone coverage, but his playmaking skills might make him a better fit in man. ... Has struggled a bit with durability, missing time in at least one game each of his three years. ... Missed time as a junior with flu-like symptoms, as a sophomore with a broken foot, and as a freshman due to an infection in his right arm.

    • Also, just for clarity, is this thread meant for general discussion of Bryce Young, or discussion of General Bryce Young?  
    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
