Anybody else think we are putting to much on Bryce's plate?

[Mr. Scot]

In a word, no

No, but some fan expectations are too high, even ludicrous at times. Let the year play out as it may, then they'll refine and have a strong direction.

I don’t think so.  We went out and aggressively signed a good RB, a good TE, 2 good WRs, and drafted another WR pretty high.  The team did a good job surrounding him with help.  The OL is already in good shape. 

We also spent 5 premium picks on Young.

If he's not the saviour then Fitterer and his pals are fired in the next year or so.

Not at all. Everything we heard about the kid was that he’s basically a football god in terms of IQ. The coaches aren’t going to see him struggle with the playbook and protections and then be like “ we should add more while he is falling behind! “, they are only going to give him more once they feel he’s up for it. This is a very veteran coaching staff and you have to trust their years of doing this.

Not if he shows he can handle it.  I trust this coaching staff to bring him along at his speed.

What a refreshing thing to say about the Carolina Panthers.  Its been.....quite some time since coaching was an actual asset of this team.

I think the entire offense is being overrated that is around Bryce Young.  Not saying they are trash.  But it's a step back in a lot of ways from what we had around Sam freaking Darnold. 

Miles Sanders is a pretty good RB.  A massive step back from CMC.  Miles Sanders belongs in a committee IMO.  He was a pretty good runner behind a great OL.  But some of his more advanced stats seem to show a lot of his success was because of the OL.  He didn't make a ton happen on his own. 

and whoever we want to claim is our #1 WR is a massive step back from DJ Moore IMO.  

I do like the OL and the way it is progressing.  Which frankly mattes the most.  But the skill position talent is weak for a rookie QB if you are hoping for real success this year.

The staff is setup nicely for a guy like BY.  Reich is a former QB and spent many years in the league as has McCown.  Caldwell is another huge asset that has been around the block.  Add Dalton's perspective to the mix and you have a very good foundation for a QB that resembles a sponge in terms of studying the nuances of the position and offense.  These guys will have a good barometer of how much is too much.  Again, not saying this will be an instant dynasty and he will likely have his share of growing pains, but there is no reason not to be optimistic about the future.

Bryce is going to have growing pains as any young NFL qb does.  It doesn't mean that it is going to be " too much".  I just hope he gets through preseason and the real season injury free.

Well if he's a "savant" as the pundits have said, he should have zero difficulty mastering the game at the pro level from day one.

[XClown1986]

Reich and his guys would know if they were putting too much on him. They know they have too much at stake to break him before he even steps on the field. They can't screw this up. Bryce keeps showing the staff he is the guy they hoped to be drafting. Until that changes, there is no need to do anything different.

[RumHam]

i don't at all. he's capable. why i wanted him and not stroud. answer would have been yes for stroud.

don't forget we have hunter henry. might as well throw ian thomas out there just b/c he has experience, although not that great.
