A Video a lot of us need to Watch

For Bryce. Not the Panthers. 

But to be fair I don’t know this guy, but I’m seeing a lot of apologizing for Bryce in the media right now, and I guess I should just avoid reading it, because it’s annoying the poo out of me lol. 

I know it’s early and it’s a 17 game season, but just let it play out. There are a lot of people running to Young’s defense, but save that poo. 

An off-season of “I’m blessed” and “processing” has me saying; enough metrics, enough hype, enough is enough. 

Just do something. I don’t need anymore talk about how great this kid is. Show us. 

Why would Trevor Sikkema want to do damage control for Bryce Young?

Maybe the reason people are saying that it's early and even the best rookies still have to transition into the NFL is because...it is early and even the best rookies do still have to transition to the NFL.

So there's a pretty common thread I'm seeing in just about all the reactions to Young and the team in general...

Feelings... specifically, hurt feelings

Also standing behind the vast majority of the hurt feelings...unrealistic expectations.

"I was lied to!"  No, you weren't. You got your own hopes up.

"We already know...."  No, you don't. Two games in, we don't know sh-t yet.

"Same old team!"  No, it isn't. It's a new staff, new schemes , new quarterback, new pretty much everything.

"I'm tired of losing!". And? It was always gonna be tough coming out of the gate.

"We were set up to win!"  No, we weren't. We're starting over at a time when the rest of the division has at least a year head start on us.

Oy

There's more, but the basic point is the people here throwing childish tantrums are doing so because they did it to themselves, not because the team misled them or any other such stupidity.

So at this point, you can choose to man up, put on your big boy pants and settle into the fact that things aren't going to turn around overnight, or you can continue to wallow in your own silliness and act like a three year old.

Doesn't really make much difference to me, but it likely will you.
