Mr Mojo Risin

Say what you want about Bryce but the coaching decisions and play calling have been just as bad this year

I agree for the most part. Qbs need 2-3 years minimum to figure out what they are going to be in the NFL/out of the NFL. However, I will admit for a #1 overall pick to look this bad is pretty alarming. I think Bryce can play in the NFL but it's going to take the right coaching/players/environment to get that to happen, and Frank Reich just wasn't it.

Man I sure wish we drafted Mullet or Brownie #1 instead of Brice Young. Either one of those QBs would have this team over .500 and in the playoff hunt. Easily. Damn this cursed black cat franchise what will we ever do now!!!

Beautiful pass by Browning. Put the ball where only his WR had a chance to get it. If Bryce throws that its a pick 6 all day long

Was I the one to start with the comparisons or was it you and your brigade of Young haters? I was just chiming in to agree with you guys at how amazing these 2 QBs have looked so far today. I mean did you see that Browning kid completely whiff on that deep ball in the 1st quarter? At least it looked pretty and was a spiral! Much better than what Young would have done! Haha!

Oh forsure totally. I'm sure they'd be doing EXACTLY as good as they are right now in our offense too, right? Like instead of TJ Hockenson and Justin Jefferson we give Mullens Tommy Tremble and Thielen. I'm sure he'd be setting the NFL world on fire

Yea these guys look amazing surrounded by all pro talent. They are really lighting it up out there!

Yep I remember when Jeremy would do write ups during TC and podcasts during the regular season with players or people close to the team. Even some players/agents would visit and post occasionally. Good times. At least we got the memories

Same here, I started playing football the following summer at 12/13 years old. That super bowl was the first full game I ever watched. I wouldn't say I became a Panthers fan right then and there but that game got me to start following the team and as I got older and more into football by my freshman year I was a full fledged Panthers fan and the only Panthers fan at my HS in NW Indiana.

Which coaches are you referencing? Because Frank Reich was fired mid season just last year so there is no way you are talking about him, right?

We can sit here and play the what if game all day long. The people who don't like Young will come up with all sorts of scenarios where we would be successful if we just draft Stroud, if we just started Dalton, if we just brought back Jimmy Clausen we'd have so many more wins and this team would be awesome!!!! Offensive line would still be a joke and playing in the wrong scheme, WRs are a bunch of journeyman/JAGs at best. TEs are, wait who are our TEs again? And the running game that didn't show up until we hit double digit weeks in the regular season. There's a lot wrong with this offense than simply having the "wrong" QB. Not even going to touch on the coaching staff which turned into an absolute poo show. But again 99% of this board will continue to believe Bryce Young is our only problem and he's really the ONLY person holding this team back from winning the division and being a playoff caliber team. Ok lol

I'm sure it was also Bryce's fault he was fired by the Colts mid-season last year too

Wouldn't it be nice to have a QB coach to help you work on those things at the NFL level? One of the reasons Reich is gone is because some of the poo he said just doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't you want to work on footwork and dropbacks when it comes to your rookie QB in the offseason? Isn't this something all QBs are supposed to work on every single day? What exactly was McCown doing his entire time here? With all these experts on the staff the plan for how to coach Bryce and the type of offense to run and the personnel required to run it hasn't made a whole lot of sense.

If Young had a HOF WR in his prime with Smash and Dash in the back field and he looked as bad as Clausen I'd probably agree. However, you guys can laugh and pull up all the stats you want but Bryce hasn't entered Clausen territory yet. I remember those games vividly and if you have access to the NFL all 22 I implore you to go rewatch some of his games. The few plays Bryce has made Clausen couldn't even dream of making

Well don't you worry I'd have to post a poo ton more of them to catch up with you

Unfortunately the fandom of an NFL team usually is a reflection of the record. And the Carolina Panthers have the worst win % among all professional sports teams since 2019. You've got a few level headed people that still post here and there but for the most part this fanbase is a reflection of the team. It's unfortunate but wcyd. I still like to chime in and have my fun with them though.

I think Bryce would have benefitted from sitting out a few more weeks after the Bears or Colts game. Almost wish he twisted an ankle or something. If the improvement was going to come this year it would have already happened. No point in continuing to throw him to the wolves with this lame duck coaching staff and we'd get an honest evaluation of our offense. Is it really all Bryce? I personally don't think so but maybe it is. Maybe Dalton comes in and gets a few more wins but I don't see it being some sort of drastic turn around either way. But yea we either get a HC that knows how to run an offense with Bryce at QB or we pick another one in '25 that's really it at this point.

Our rookie #1 pick QB has sucked this year but the team also sucked at surrounding him with proper players + coaching. Both are pretty much true I don't really know how you can argue against the latter.

If Young truly is a bust then he will bust out of the league its as simple as that. There is nothing to hide behind lol. He's going to get a second year to prove his worth regardless of what your opinion is of him or mine. I just choose to believe that with a coaching staff that has a better sense of direction, and a front office that isn't constantly shooting itself in the foot Young and the rest of the roster will be put in a better position to succeed versus the alternative which is what 99% of the huddle believes. And that's fine, had we retained Reich I'd probably be a little less optimistic but optimistic none the less.

Nah. If Bryce does turn it around it will be because of the new HC hire and those around him making him look better than what he truly is, calling it now. At least that's what the fine folks of the Carolina Huddle will say anyway

How long did it take for our running game to show its face? 11, 12 weeks into the season? You think that's success? Haha okay

Oh but your "realistic" plan is to give up on a #1 overall pick after 1 season in which the entire team is bad. This is not an offense that is "one QB away" from consistently winning football games and if that's what you believe then you are further down than whatever rock bottom is

But seriously though this horrid season might be a blessing in disguise. Did we really want another Cam Newton/Ron Rivera situation? Where the #1 pick QB is constantly overcoming the horrendous coaching decisions being made thus keeping him employed for longer than he should have been? Frank was clearly not going to be the answer here. And hopefully Fitterer is fired for the mess he created as well. If this season accomplishes that at a minimum our future is already brighter. If Bryce can't improve with hopefully a better HC hire (can it really be worse than the last 2?) next season the new coach will probably bench him and we will be in prime position to draft the top QB in '25. That's honestly how I'm looking at this entire situation. Bryce deserves a chance with hopefully a better coach and team around him then after that we'll see what happens.

Either hope he gets better with a better HC hire next year or go root for another team or not watch football at all. What other option is there other than cheering against your favorite team? Who honestly roots for their team to fail? Seems like a pointless concept does it not?

Aren't stats amazing? You know what else this chart shows? How the NYG play around their rookie QB. Look at how many times he throws the ball a game vs Bryce. That's how you play a rookie QB in a struggling offense. You help him by not making him do everything on his own. That guys pass attempts equal what Bryces are by half time most games. He throws the ball 25 times and even less and the Giants are still able to put up points (some games). They got a win in a game they scored only 10 points in lmao.
