Bryce Young to his credit seems to be a high character person.

its a good thing his dad is a therapist.

It is true that Bryce has been composed and mature despite being drafted by an incompetent douche bag of an owner and being in the worst situation in the NFL in terms of talent, coaching, and scheme.

This is very true. I wish he could figure out the NFL game to go with being what I'm sure is an overall good human being.

Leaf and Tepper together 

I could only imagine.

Im not giving up hope just yet. 
 

Although it was concerning that it looked like he wasn’t seeing wide open guys last week I think he just finally cracked a little bit after a season of hardship. He came out of the gate looking great on that first drive and then Icky got him hurt. And who knows how much that was affecting his play. 
 

Looking for a GB level performance this week so we can end the season on a positive note.

Bryce Young is a high character person? That must have been why he refused to throw or run at the combine and packed on all that water weight to tip the scale in his favor. Not blaming Bryce for gaming the system, but to call him a high character individual is a stretch.

[LinvilleGorge]

Bryce and Leaf are the two opposite sides of the same coin. Bryce has all the mental tools and mindset but lacks the physical tools. Leaf lacked the mental tools and mindset but had all the physical talent. If you could combine the best of both you'd have an elite franchise QB, but as they are they're busts.

The part everyone keeps looking past is that Bryce already has the elements that can be developed. He lacks the part you gotta be born with.

What do you have against this dude lmaooo. There have been so many presumptive number 1 picks who have not thrown or participated in the combine in favor of working out at their pro days. Hell, there have been guys who weren't number 1 picks who have chosen not to workout at the combine.  That has absolutely nothing to do with his character. 

Im giving Bryce another year to see if the roster/scheme improves before calling him a bust. Year 1 is too early to call it for most players IMO, but especially for a QB in the middle of the mess that is our organization.

Only way they fix this mess is to get a QB guru to develop Bryce, invest heavily in o-line (Get a LT, move Ikem to LG, find an upgrade to Bozeman, find out if Corbett is toast, find Morton’s replacement because he’s no longer a spring chicken), get him a top WR and develop 2 more and find a TE that doesn’t suck. All this without a 1st and Burns, Luvu and Brown’s contracts looming. It’s like climbing Mt. Everest in only boxers in the dead of winter.

What a life journey Ryan Leaf has been on, one heck of a redemption story. He has pulled himself back from disaster and become a sports pundit with a unique and extremely valid voice. Glad to see him doing so much better. And I think he's right about Bryce Young and the Panthers.
