Cancel that. I misclicked the quote button and somehow had you confused with that class-A lardass recceice. Yes, I agree sacks are an important metric used to assess the O-line's pass blocking performance, which is why I said "sacks are more of a QB stat", meaning that it's a shared responsibility between the O-line and the QB to prevent sacks, with the onus falling more on the QB than it does on the O-line. Please reference my previous posts, which contain stats comparing our O-line performance with that of their peers, to see that our O-line isn't nearly as horrible as many are making it out to be, and that Bryce should shoulder the majority of the blame when it comes to taking sacks. It's been a long, painful, and sleep-deprived day. Would you accept my apology?

I guess I have to repeat myself, but here it goes... Stop blaming the O-line for Young's inability to make timely decisions and to navigate the pocket effectively to get away from pressure. You rarely ever see Bryce do a standard 3-, 5-, or 7-step drop. Instead, he just saunters backward like a tranquilized raccoon and then does his signature midget-hop like he's twitching on some designer drug. Just how TF are the linemen (especially the interior) supposed to block for him when he rarely gives them enough depth to work with? Bryce also holds onto the ball forever, because his little mouse brain overheats as soon as the reads get just a little tough, so much so that he has no spare mental capacity for basic pocket awareness and navigation, such as climbing the pocket or stepping away from the pressure. He just pogo hops or stands on the same spot like a carboard standie and eats sacks. Even when he tries to get away from pressure, which he almost always does when it's already too freaking late, he doesn't have the speed to outrun defenders, and because he's so tiny, one hand on his shoulder pad is enough to make him eat turf. The fact is that our O-line gives Bryce plenty of time to make throws. Plenty of time. It's his fault that his fundamentals are so atrocious and his processing so slow that he can't hit open receivers on time or make bare minimum NFL-level throws accurately and consistently or avoid sacks to extend plays. Get this through to your head: sacks are more of a QB statistic, which is why they are listed on a QB's stat sheet. The majority of sacks are due to Bryce's fault. Why? Because he almost always had enough time in the pocket to either throw to a receiver or simply scramble and throw the ball away. QBs are drilled over and over and over again on the importance of avoiding sacks, because sacks are the worst outcome save for interceptions or pick sixes. This is QB 101 stuff but apparently too difficult to grasp for our super S2-processor. Don't just stand there like a deer in headlights or a special needs boi who just got off the short bus on the wrong stop. Throw the damn ball away, FFS! Face it, we bet the farm on a QB who can't even perform simple 3-, 5-, and 7-step drops (or 3- and 5-step drops from the shotgun), which is something even a decent Pop Warner QB can perform on a consistent basis.

Do you always talk out of your ass? Sure, Trevor's footwork wasn't 'perfect', but it sure as hell a lot better than the 12U Pop Warner level footwork that Bryce currently has.

My apologies for not having the patience to explain something as rudimentary as this. I can't help someone who clearly sees that sacks are listed on QB stat sheets and thinks, oh gee, that must be an O-line stat.

One example. Boo fugging hoo! What are you? Five? Do you ride the short bus? Here, can you read? Now GTFO with your dumbass hot takes!

How many times do I have to repeat myself? Get this through that thick skull of yours: sacks are more of a QB stat, which is why they are listed on QB stat sheets.

No, you're full of poo! Stop blaming the O-line for Young's inability to make timely decisions and to navigate the pocket effectively to get away from pressure.

Your golden boy also holds onto the ball forever, because his little mouse brain overheats as soon as the reads get just a little tough, so much so that he has no spare mental capacity for basic pocket awareness and navigation, such as climbing the pocket or stepping away from the pressure.

Now go sit in the corner, short pants! Adults are talking here.

Sacks are listed on QB's stat sheet for a reason, because it's more of a QB stat. It reflects poorly on a QB if he's sacked too many times, unless the O-line is truly horrible, which ours isn't.

Ooops. My fault. That was a total brain fart.

TBH, I think Bryce is probably around 5'8" to 5'9", or at least his eye level is the same as an average person who's 5'8" to 5'9".

LMAO! I've used up my quota of reaction emojis for the day. Otherwise I would have totally given you a flame.

As in there is noticeable difference in height between two players who were listed as having identical height.

Woah, what? Is that true?

Drew is actually quite a bit taller than Bryce in real life. Check out their respective eye level, which is what really matters.

They are probably all non-binary social activists who identify as doorknobs.

Where? In the Arena Football League?

Can he read the field?

At least Stroud's sentences have structures. Young can't even string together a sentence without a bunch of um um ums, as if he's reading Shakespeare in Morse code.

Bryce is a better public speaker than Stroud? In what language? Do you all speak UmUmUm where you come from?

He's got eight or nine more games to prove that he has a future in the NFL. A season and a half worth of starts is the consensus amount by which to judge a QB's potential. By the middle of next season we should know if he's the future of this franchise, or a future backup, or should be cut.

Look on the bright side. Young had 11 interceptions this year, and rookie Manning had 28. Young > Manning Keep pounding... sand!

The Panthers have been shut out for the second week in a row. The last NFL team that was shut out in two consecutive games was the Browns all the way back in 2008. We are the new Browns. Keep pounding... sand!

He cripples the schemes, the playbook, the offensive line, the receivers. He is the albatross around the team's neck. He's got six more games to officially prove what most of us already know.
