I don’t watch much college ball, and I’m not a QB expert. I was lead to believe by many media talking heads and many posters on here that Bryce’s size was his only limitation. I just assumed that his footwork, mechanics, and accuracy were really sound. That didn’t turn out to be the case.

What are some examples of a QB with questionable mechanics that were corrected after some time in the league? 
I can’t think of any. Give me some hope here. 

Virgil Carter with the Bengals. Dan Fouts with the Chargers. Steve Young with the 49ers. Brett Favre with the Packers. Kurt Warner with the Rams. Matt Hasselbeck with the Seahawks. Drew Brees with the Saints. Nick Foles with the Eagles. There's many more.

Just about every successful QB has had to change their mechanics. The key is finding a QB whisperer with leadership qualities & extend his impact as a WR/TE coach while demonstrating an ability to make in game adjustments.

Great at what? In the NFL that is. 

What he was this year was a bad QB who didn't look like he belonged on an NFL field. This ain't college anymore. Lots of great college players fail to translate to the NFL level.

Everything before he came here…are you even aware of what he did in college?  

How in the world could he possibly do anything with this offense?  This conversation is ridiculous.  He is a 22 yr old guy on a terrible team and somehow his career is over?  

Give up on everyone on the team but our rookie QB?  Makes no sense

I know nothing about development but is it possible to increase his throwing power as well? I would imagine it has nothing to do with muscle building. 

Throwing form and muscle can increase it. Burrow was able to increase his throwing velocity by tweaking his throwing motion after his rookie year. He strengthen his hips.

This is so strange…his arm is perfect.  Is it Josh Allen no but that doesn’t matter.  Damn this forum is so nuts.

His arm is perfect?  Either your trolling or your the worst judge of talent this board has ever seen.  It’s literally a FACT that his arm is subpar.  His quick (smart) decision making was supposed to make up for this, but clearly that wasn’t the case.  His deep balls never have a chance, defenses didn’t respect them at all and why the hell would they.  Face the facts, Bryce is gonna need to rely on talent around him to be successful, because his talent is sorely lacking..

Are you aware of the long list of great college players who didn't translate to the NFL? After you get drafted what you accomplished in college is no longer relevant.

Ironically enough, I was bringing up these same raw talent questions pre-draft last year. The evidence was all over his college tape.

He seems to forget Baker is like a top 10 all time college qb lol. Mariota, Griffin, Bradford, Manziel, the list goes on

Bryce will never have the fast ball to let it rip off the back foot. But blind Freddy can tell he was in the worst possible situation to succeed this season. There’s a reason a lot of people would have had him as a generational talent if he was 6’3 230 and thats taking into consideration his throw power

Burrow’s arm was fine. He just found a way to make it better. Great players are always looking at ways to get better.

He was literally one of the best QBs in college ever.  The traits are there and he is a flat leader.  My question is why in the world would you think he can’t be great?  He has been great.  We have to help him be what he is in the toughest league in the world.

He is 22.  You seriously believe this is on him and he sucks?  Jesus

This guy is a troll at this point

Check out Steve Young’s career.  

Started in the USFL for 2 years, then the TB Bucs, widely regarded as a huge bust…

…and then followed Joe Montana to win 3 Super Bowls in SF.

Young is 4” taller and 30lbs heavier. Any 5’10” or shorter guys that were terrible but turned it around that you can think of?

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
