From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

This is exactly what some of us have been screaming about. He has to step up in the pocket, you cant drop back into oblivion like this is Madden, not even a pair of all pro OTs could keep him upright when he does this.  Easy sacks for the D and its 100% on Young.

100%. He has a huge hole right here to step up in or just the off. Thats a learning curve college vs NFL thing IMO.

1. this is week 16 and he should know by now you have to step up when the pocket is that large

 

or

2.  Slightly defending him here, again its week 16 in a poo season and maybe he is just thinking I just dont want to get hit any more and just need to get this season over before something bad happens

 

Going off the last 2 weeks of the season I am going with #2

Could be either. I’d say that having a shaky OL most of the year creates bad habits and bad footwork. Regardless he needs to get better here.

That hitch thing is what I saw right off. (I called it a skip step, but it is more an extra move).

When the lesser velocity of his ball is added to whatever slight delay that hitch triggers, you could be looking at measurable additional time for the ball to be at the target. Just a split second makes a difference at that level. 

That’s what he has to somehow resolve. By just great timing and anticipation, in the best case. But worse case, you have those balls slightly behind, they get defended or picked just by giving defenders that margin.

That was my issue all along. There are plenty of things he can do well and, especially, the more open the targets can get the more margin he can use. It is just, harder for that guy than it would be for the same guy in a proto body.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
