Bryce was more decisive on his read coming into the season, even the first game. He’s gettin ruined by a crap offensive line and terrible playcalling

Yep that's the guy

And people expect Bryce to throw deep with interior pressure in his face on almost every play.

Hackett was fired mid year, Reich can too

This is the most downplayed topic. I don’t know any QB, not even Mahomes that could be effective to throw deep behind this offensive line, especially interior pressure in your face

Evero

Nobody doubted Trevor’s physical abilities to play in the NFL

Exactly. Meanwhile Reich purposely shortens the field for Bryce so defenses can just blitz and press the receivers. Reich sucks

Not saying he is but he can still be a viable franchise QB.

2021 was also very pedestrian. My point stands

I remember most questioning if Tua has the physical ability, the arm to be effective in the NFL during his rookie year. He had some terrible performances early on but started showing promise later in the season. He was also on a much better team offensively. Bryce just needs to show he can stretch the field in the NFL when needed, everything else will be good. Tua faced the same criticisms and doubts.

This Reich situation is most similar to Hackett Not getting most of his QB, terrible playcalling, atrocious clock management

and you know he would just like CMC is now staying healthy and even Baker Mayfield looks like he can play again

All evidence points to not being given the opportunity to attempt those throws.

Fitterer may fall on the sword but it's Tepper who instructed Fitterer to make the trade happen with the Bears even when Houston bailed.. The original trade was going to be three way where Houston would have had the 1st pick, and Panthers second.

I've never been more OK with moving the team than now. Fug it

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/bears-and-panthers-are-nfls-only-winless-teams-giving-chicago-hope-for-top-two-picks The NFL now has just two winless teams. The Bears own both their first-round draft picks. The Bears fell to 0-4 with yesterday’s loss to the Broncos, and the Panthers fell to 0-4 with yesterday’s loss to the Vikings. They’re the only 0-4 teams in the NFL. And the Bears have both their own first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft and the Panthers’ pick, thanks to this year’s trade that allowed the Panthers to take Bryce Young first overall. It’s a long season and we don’t know if the Bears and Panthers will actually finish at the bottom of the standings when it’s all said and done, but at the moment the Bears would appear to have an excellent chance at owning the first overall pick, either by finishing with the worst record in the NFL or by the Panthers finishing with the worst record in the NFL. USC quarterback Caleb Williams is considered the big prize in next year’s draft. The Bears have to be considered the favorites to land him.

100% - but rookies are expected to make those mistakes, veterans are not See question #1. Not Bryce's fault but Tepper and the FO

If you look at my post history I was a CJ Stroud guy, so miss me with being a Bryce fanboy or coddler. However, I think the kid can be a really good QB if he gets put into a better situation. I don't know if he will be great, or have the same ceiling as AR or Stroud, but I think we should lookin in the mirror and self reflect by asking ourselves a few questions: 1. Is it Bryce Young's fault that Panthers traded up to pick him at #1? Your anger should be directed at the FO not the rookie QB who is trying to develop in an extremely difficult situation. 2. If Bryce was 6'2" instead of 5'10" and had the same identical performances, would you feel the same away about his progress as a rookie QB? Be honest. You would probably give him a much longer leash but you're playing into the optics of him being small as the reason for not performing better. 3. If Ian Thomas catches the TD on the ball that hit him in the hands, or Bryce has even decent offensive line protection, Panthers win the game yesterday and Bryce wins with over 100 QB rating and Panthers are 1-3 instead of 0-4. Would you still be saying he's a bust? I'm just saying, 3 games into his career, this is a major overreaction. Trevor Lawrence was terrible most of his rookie year, but people didn't call him a bust because he's tall, Jaguars didn't trade up to get him, and he had a terrible coach. Bryce should at least get a chance to play out his rookie year and support him along the way.

I think the coaching is the dumpster fire, not the QB. Rookie QB - you have to at least let him play out the season and see if he's headed in the right direction. Unfortunately, too many are looking at Stroud and expecting the same from Bryce and it isn't fair in the broader historical context for QBs. Back to this topic - anyone remember in week 1 that Reich took the blame for one of the INTs and basically said that he told Bryce who to throw to on that play based on coverage? He's trying to play joystick QB and honestly I think it's going to hurt Bryce's development. He needs to be able to make all the reads on his own and make his own decisions.

Looks like it

Anyone else think this is a major problem? This makes Reich look like a complete idiot https://x.com/panthersculture/status/1708608978647716212?s=46

Ngl that hurts

Let’s be honest, most of us wanted Stroud at some point. He was my favorite so not surprised to see him doing well. While most of us acknowledged AR’s ceiling based on athletic potential, his college tape indicated he would take a few years to develop. Nobody saw this coming in year 1. I can’t stand Jim Irsay the person but damn he is a good owner

Bryce has Thielen lol
