It is so amazing seeing Bryce Young in a Panthers uniform.

I’m glad we’re getting the height talk out of our system now so that when OTA’s and camp roll around and Bryce is hopefully carving it up in practice, we can focus on other things. 
 

Btw, do we know when mini camp starts tmrw?

Wait until the first batted ball or if he is slow getting up. Mods will need to make it a bannable offense or it’s never going away.

I only mentioned it once in this thread and tried to so it respectfully and it got trashed immediately   I just feel like there's no middle ground seemingly you're either a zealous hater or a crazy fan boy with no tolerance for anything that doesn't confirm success 

I think in reality I'm just nervous I guess. I probably need to find some other poo to do until th3 season starts and wait until he proves or doesn't prove it on the field.

I'm not claiming he's going to suck but some people won't even acknowledge the possibility that he'll fail and you get stoned for mentioning it, that's the part I hate about Fandom. I guess you just need to keep your mouth shut if you go against the majority thinking.

It's time to focus on Bryce's football ability. If you do that, you'll be right in line with most people here.

I don't know when mini camp starts today, but I do know that Bryce will feel right at home...at mini camp. 

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Very weird to see Smitty mentoring/trying to mentor these guys.

That dude was like a damn pit viper in the WR room his entire career.

At the moment there is no real football to discuss and Bryce physically looks like a HS freshman out there. Doesn't mean anything really, but is a bit visually jarring. Just the reality.

I love seeing vets like Smith and Luke helping in practice. It’s is nice to see how much Smith has matured since playing.

You’re just use to seeing a guy like Cam. Baker had what 1 or 2 inches and 10 pounds on him? Seeing that from the distance these pictures were taken is impressive. People are just hyper focused on it…

Might be his way of making up for that

Trust me I know from experience that age mellows you out.  Getting married and having kids zapped the hot head out of me.

No, Bryce is flat out slight of frame, and definitely looks even smaller compared to NFL players. Doesn't automatically mean he's frail, doesn't automatically mean he's weak, it just is what it is.

Can we just get a subsection for people who just want to talk about how small he looks compared to other players and the rest of us can actually talk about football?

Interesting note:

▪ Former Panthers GM Bill Polian was in attendance at practice

These mf's are just showing their insecurity.  They're out there reading tweets from opposing fans and don't have the balls to stand up for their QB.  

Just take a look at this tweet by Barstool, the TMZ of sports.  It's clearly a poor angle to judge how big/small someone is when you have the Offensive Line close to you and Bryce Young walking away.  Of course he will look even smaller, so does everyone else who is farther away.  It's just so stupid.  They picked this one on purpose because it makes him look twice as small.  Clickbait journalism crap.
