The way BY must play quarterback has a much higher degree of difficulty. Coupled with his physical limitations his margin for error is small. The guy evading the blitz and dropping a dime deep over double coverage is more exciting then a wobbling ball thrown into the blitz with good enough placement that gets 6 yards on a 3rd and 5. It's been beat to death that he will never be the first guy. He was the second guy vs the Chiefs. The second guy is harder to do because it's mostly mental: reading, reacting and processing the correct solution that the defense provided within a second or two. It's harder to see on film, it's harder to evaluate. That's why I think there's a divergence between fans yelling "noodle armed middle schooler!!" and analysts going "hold up, let's not write him off yet" I personally need to see the Chiefs game be the start of growth before getting hopeful. Ideally would like to see 1-2 300yd multi td games. Then I'd expect the entire off season to fix his footwork. With his physical limitations that footwork needs to be damn near perfect. I would still bring in competition at the QB spot even in that scenario.

When a QB has an average or worse arm they need to get every bit of juice out of the arm with efficient and consistent throwing mechanics. Brees' footwork and throwing mechanics were his obsession and his work ethic was close to legendary. For any shot at redemption Bryce needs to dial in his footwork to perfection. That should help maximize his arm strength and increase his accuracy. Until that happens (which is unlikely), I'm writing him off. Even if he does, I still think the ceiling is nowhere near Brees unless some of that "elite processing" starts to show too.

I think this is strictly a developmental thing. Get him some experience calling plays without any of the pressure/expectations idk how it’ll play out but for the first time maybe ever in panthers history it feels like there is an actual plan for development in place not only in the roster but on the coaching staff i love it but I’m a glass half full kind of dude

Out of pie for today, tried to get all the tweets and links. Thanks for the updates yall.

I believe Lasso is loosely based on one of the Harbaughs. Pete Carroll was a positive/energetic coach. I'm sure there are others that lean more lasso like. It's not a typical style but there is some success at the NFL level.

I'm drinking the kool aid on Canales. Absolutely loving the non-generic coach speak answers.

Everyone that still thinks Reich was a good coach needs to watch this interview with Jeff Saturday where he touches on cleaning up after Reich in Indianapolis. Here's an appetizer: McAfee: So everything I had heard about that building was that it was in ruins....A lot of people in that building had the same message it was like, our culture has completely gone to hell. There are people missing meetings, there are people missing treatments, there are guys actually gambling against the Indianapolis Colts actually that are on the team. The building just kind of fell apart. So Jeff is coming in here and he's going to be a guy that's going to take it on the shins from everybody as he has to re-instate what a professional football team looks like. Is that an accurate depiction of what you had to do? And your first day in there were you caught off guard completely about what you were walking in to? Saturday: It was more than I anticipated I'll put it like that, I'll church it up a little bit. There was a lot of what you're saying going on. I think Irsay knew that... Continuing to have any faith in him as a head coach after these comments and what we saw last year is insane. Great guy, horrible head coach.

I just want to see talent develop and I want to see younger players improving as the season goes on. I'm optimistic about the new staff and front office but I won't get excited till I see guys reach their potential.

CJ Henderson and TMJ appear to be healthy scratches... lol

Chart is not mine, found on reddit. PFF grades so take with a grain of salt but... Mingo gets poor separation and has some of the worst catch point & YAC in the league. Actually all of our receivers that are not Adam Thielen have very poor separation. Tank is up there with some high performing WRs.

Our guards have been absolute ass cheeks the first two games, so our offensive results are not really surprising. Interior pressure really messes with a QB.

I'll be honest, listening to a few minutes of this interview really changed my perspective on Robbie. He seems like a man who's put a lot of work on maturing, getting his priorities in order and trying his best to put his head on straight. Hope he balls out this year.
