CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

Probably not but crazier things have happened. Perfect

It would be nice to see #9 prove people like this laughably wrong.

That's why many Panthers fans myself included were wanting to see how much time he'd dedicated to his craft following the conclusion of the season but then he showed up and let everyone know he pretty much crawled under a rock. Somehow the Panthers social team thought this was rather amusing after what we'd sacrificed for the rights to draft him. Baffling lack of awareness all around.

It's interesting that we go from Levis being least desirable of the class and a complete and total meathead that would alienate himself from his teammates to being talked up as possibly emerging as one of the better young QB's entering the 2024 season.

Man what a whirlwind the last 12 months have been for the people who fully bought the hype machine in the lead up to the 2023 NFL draft and did victory laps like they had their very own sports almanac from BTTF.

Life comes at you fast folks.

I’ve already spoke my opinion of Bryce. I just hope I and CBS is wrong. Really hoping he turns it around, and shuts us all up.

Where's the thread on this?

At least with Cam we have a running threat and his arm is just as strong as Youngs even with his compromised shoulder. 

The reason we dumped Cam is because he couldn't go deep anymore and Rhule was scared of his personality, then we draft a QB who could never go deep to begin with. Go figure.

You don't think Bryce Young is a good QB?

He was what. 46th in passer rating for the 2023 season?

Do I want him to be a good QB? Yes.

Is he based on last seasons tape? Absolutely not.

What is it with this fanbase and being averse to recognizing reality? Seriously.

Even if Young does not succeed this season, I don't foresee Carolina struggling enough to be #1 again. I feel at some point that they might put Andy Dalton in to win us enough games to barely miss the playoffs, which, would give Canales time to find his QB, if that is the worst case scenario.

I do feel that Bryce will be improved. I think he is motivated enough to try to prove the doubters wrong and welcomes a chip on his shoulder. 

Time will tell though.

He literally just said last week he's not motivated by negativity/chip on his shoulder type stuff. I don't know why you would say that if you didn't mean it because most great players relish in that type of thing and aren't afraid to admit it

I thought Bryce looked like mini-Mahomes at times last year.  Passer rating can only tell you so much.  Bryce made a lot of big plays that don't show up on the stat sheet.

Lazy takes.

[electro's horse]

beck has a hose but not really sure he's the guy. gonna need a huge year this year. 

[Panthera onca]

I much prefer an alpha male like Cam behind center. BY is a meek little mouse who never shows emotion and spent the off-season watching Netflix. Get mad, get happy, get excited. Show us that you actually give a rat’s behind about this team.

Thank you cbssports.com!  I was today years old when I found out that Bryce Young pretty much got outplayed last season by some dude named Aidan O'Connell...
