Thomas Williams doing work.

He was actually decent in coverage but played in a very undisciplined manner, both at LB and on special teams.

He is one of those guys that never achieve their potential, not because of physical limitations, but for what's between his ears.

I just remember looking at the box score of our preseason games this past year and always seeing this guy leading our team in tackles by a pretty big margin. Then I remember looking at Madden and seeing him at like a 47 OVR with like 50-something tackling...I was pretty upset about that lol.

As far as his coverage ability, I am not going by what some article says, rather by what I saw watching the games.

For example, he broke up the pass that ended the game vs the Jags, and he had another critical pass defense, although I don't remember which game it was. Compared to our other backup LB's, that's notable.

On the other hand, he was guilty of some bad penalties. Personally, I'm not surprised at all (or upset) that he's gone.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
