We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)

I believe this. I have this feeling we are going to have his number and he's gonna poo the bed bad. It's either that, or they blow us out 42 to 9.

Looks pretty good so far, but this is far too early to judge a draft class. The chances that all of those guy fall off though is probably pretty low.

Maybe that's the problem? Maybe if QB's had more time to figure it out more would end up successful in the end? I know a lot of youtuber channels like Brett Kollman have contemplated this and think QBs are thrown in way too early and given up on way too quickly. As far as BY goes, I'm not sold on him or anything, more on the fence. I've seen a lot of good and bad from him. Some QBs do develop late, like Sam Darnold. Do I want to hold onto BY for 5 more years to find out? No. I do think he should be our QB for next year unless a clear and obvious upgrade were to fall into our lap, otherwise I don't see the point of changing QBs going into next year. Keep building the team and insert an upgrade at QB whenever that opportunity presents.

Tmac was thrown open...

Not sure why in quotes, but yeah really odd take from that guy. Panthers nominated for award and fans are mad. That is why people say huddlers aren't actually fans because y'all don't act like fans. If you love the team, be happy for the team when good things happen. If you think being pissed at players getting awards makes you a good fan, well I really have nothing to say to that. Can't argue with stupid. I think I'm gonna go make a thread about how it's time to pay Ickey and maybe someone will have a stroke over it. That could be fun.

I'm good with a 5th year option but no way on an extension at this point.

Disregard, can't read. Still learning.

According to Pro Football Reference advanced stats, Bryce Young is currently 9th in on-target percentage. Take that for what you will I suppose.

They call plays for 4 downs. If we run on 3rd and it's medium-long, we're most likely planning on going for it on 4th. DC goes for it on 4th a lot.

I'd even say it might be the only way to beat a team like this years Rams.

I don't give a duck how we win as long as we win. Amazing day. Keep pounding!

Idk about best of all time, but 4 guys from that draft are still on the roster and contributing. That's pretty good when 4 draftees get second contracts from the org that drafted them.

Not talking about getting hurt. Specifically talking about him going to the turf. There was one play this year where the lineman gave him a little one handed push and it was sack.

This is the biggest thing i hate about BY. The wind blows wrong and he goes down. Like anyone gets a hand on him and he's going down.

Ugly ass game but it's a win. Keep pounding!

I think people get confused with arm strength vs touch or something. Either way, his arm strength aint the best but it's good enough. He can rocket a short/medium pass into a tight window. He can get the ball downfield 40+ yards no problem. He has thrown plenty of medium/deep out route sideline throws. I have no idea what percentage compared to other QBs, but I feel like he's throwing to the sideline every game. There were multiple sideline throw/catches on Sunday. The fact this is still getting mentioned here is sad. How many times does he have to throw a sideline throw before y'all believe he can throw a sideline throw? What he cannot do? Send the ball 40 yards down the field while falling to the ground getting hit. Yes he's limited compared to some NFL QBs, but not to the level where I would think he's not physically capable of playing NFL football.

Eh maybe. I'm pretty positive just in general. I don't post a lot here because it's a hostile environment if you try to have any kind of measured take. So it's just not worth contributing here. When I do post, I usually never come back to check replies because I really don't want to hear some of the absolute braindead stuff people here say. Mostly hyperbole and exaggeration, but it doesn't add poo to say stuff like "Bryce can't throw more than 5 yards", which is a common statement made here. Why don't they be honest and say "Bryce can't throw 60 yards down the field." Anyway, it's pretty rare to get any kind of decent conversation here so I'll share my piece every once in a while and not come back to see the poo emojis. I bet there's plenty of people here who read and keep up on things but don't post. Why post when the community is just going to run you off?

He has shown he can pull off some high end throws and be clutch in some situations. He has been really inconsistent and turnovers are his biggest issue. I think his turnovers are mostly happenning due to his size and not being able to see the field clearly in a condensed pocket. I think he will be an NFL starter in this league for awhile if he can find the right situation and staff. I am not certain if Canales can be that guy for Bryce, but we have seen some positive signs with this, such as week 18 last year and week 6 this year. I don't put much stock in year 1. It seems like that coaching staff was a mess and I don't know if they just didn't want Bryce, but I get the impression they didn't even try to make it work with him. The tl,dr version of this is simply, I think he has the potential to be a better player than Sam Darnold currently is. I think the most likely scenario is he finds success on another team.

Good on him for filtering out garbage time stats. Now we can argue about what constitutes garbage time stats.

QB can only do what is asked of him. That said, as long as W/L's are QB stats like the NFL treats them, I don't think it matters what the QB is asked to do on a game winning drive. But I don't agree that wins and losses should be treated like a QB stat like they are, but it is what it is like they say.

The narrative is that in game winning drives he is clutch and about 9x out of 10 he is gonna come up with the win. Anything that happened before that clutch final game winning drive is irrelevant to the narrative. The only argument that could be made is that it's a small sample size, which I concede.

PFF said the fumble was a BIG ding on Rico (the off-script lateral thing they tried). They also said his PBLK really drug him down some. I think they said he has the highest grade as a runner in the NFL or 2nd highest something like that.

Would be great if it's 8 of 10 this time next week.

GOTTDAM that was a fun game. Go Panthers!
