OK, never really introduced myself but I am always on the forums (Carolina Panthers) several times a day and have been for the last few years. I rarely post anything but enjoy reading what everyone has on their mind during the good and bad times. Year to year I am always optimistic the Panthers will beat everyone and will make the playoffs until they are mathmatically eliminated.

On a side note I would like to share a video I put together for my son Fletcher. I wanted to post this but thought by introducing myself I could post here without being hounded by the Forum Police because I did not post in the right section.

Fletcher tore his ACL in a freak accident during football practice on Sept. 15, 2011. He was only 8 yrs old at the time. We found Dr. Kocher at Children's Hospital Boston who specializes in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Sports Medicine. We flew to Boston for surgery on Dec. 13, 2011. Fletcher endured several months of intensive physical therapy and was released to play sports again in June 2012. After a summer league of basketball and new baby sister being born, he was ready once again to strap on his helmet.

Hope you enjoy the video. There are several pictures at the beginning to set up the story. It was great watching him getter stronger at practice each week. By season end he was the work horse running back and had no fear pounding it up the middle.

Good to hear your son has bounced back, the ironic that while he was recovering, he was wearing a Adrian Peterson jersey, and now AP is looking like the AP before the injury and your son is also back on the field making plays.

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
