I'm sure most people would be happy to have that after all the previous years under Tepper. Five winning seasons in a row plus 4 years of playoffs is a lot better than what the Panthers have done since the last SB appearance.

Alex Smith had 2 seasons over 3500 (3502, 4042) yards.  And his stats overall are pretty fuging awful.  Their HOF coach knew the deal and even if they were making the playoffs they still werent going to win it a limited qb.

Copy and paste. 

and get clicks. 

just find last year's news when you want attention and say the same damn thing every time. lazy man's job. 

are they saying anything new? no. why? because they either aren't smart enough or they are desperate for attention/clicks.

or they just like being the next in line to beat a dead horse.

which apparently is all we do around here so i guess they know their audience.

I mean he did attach clips to show the good and bad so at least there is that

The thing we me is i dont agree with putting an immense amount of pressure on skill players all because the QB is so limited an needs them to be that much better so he can succeed. Those are the type of discussions that divide the fanbase and something that shouldnt be tolerated going into next season.

As someone who watches zero college football, and this is an honest question, how did Bryce 'elevate those around him' at Alabama? Haven't they had a number of offensive guys drafted in recent years? I understand that not all of those guys are NFL-caliber stars, but you don't really have to be in college to be good or even dominant.

As a Carolina example, Cam very clearly was the 2010 Auburn team. Those guys would have been much less successful without him and Auburn has had a whopping 2 years with 10 wins or more since 2010. Can the same be said for Alabama and Bryce?

I'm going off of what was said in Ellis' tweet in asking this.

but it's ok to more pressure on the QB when the whole situation around him is a flaming pile of poo? 

this whole idea that a QB can/should turn a pile of chicken poo into a chicken salad is pretty lame, because in the end it's still just chicken poo and shouldn't be eaten.

More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one

Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play.

This will define his career unfortunately I think. If he can somehow give himself wiggle room consistently then he has a chance, but I won't believe it till I see it.

My friend....THE GUY WAS DRAFTED NUMBER 1 OVERALL. We traded picks and players to move up to get him. It comes with the territory. Not to mention bryce never strayed away from it, he had to convince the team in some sort of compacity he was worthy of the honor of being drafted as the savior. It's not the same as being drafted in the later rounds, that's just how it is. And nobody is really saying he has to carry the team, but he atleast needs to.show more individual capability that strengthens why we drafted him where we did. He is still playing with nfl level talent at the end of the day, he needs him to help them just as much as everybody says they need to help bryce.

Despite all the negativity, Bryce made throws last season that Bridgewater or Darnold just can't do. That's what gives me a sliver a hope for this season...if Bryce can fix mechanics to limit the mistakes he'll still be the best QB we've had since 2017. It's not a high bar, but its a bar.

Alex Smith is his ceiling imo 

KC wasnt taking home any rings with him as their QB even with a stacked team around him. 

That kind of play can get you to the playoffs and thats about it. WC weekend going home. 

That's an insult to Alex Smith. He runs rings round Young as an athlete.

Yeah comping BY to a 6'4" guy is a bit of a weird one. I get that he's saying the ceiling is a game manager but Bryce can't just stand in the shotgun and toss it around the field like Smith

    • Nailed it! Chiefs got #10 overall (and selected Mahomes) and sent the Bills #27, #91, and a 2018 first-rounder (ended up being #18) to pick the QB that has kept them out of the Super Bowl. 💀 Tbf to the Bills tho, they turned those picks into Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Tremaine Edmunds, and Siran Neal. Three out of four hits ain't bad at all, but that one for one for KC... ooh wee mayne.
    • Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.
