The official date for the record books

September 8, 2024.  The day Bryce Young was finished as a NFL QB.  I mean, it technically won't happen yet.  But when you look back, that will be the date when the answer became crystal clear.  Every game from here on out is a waste of time.   We all know the answer.  Everyone here knows it.  And frankly, everyone at BOA knows.

Two years ago?  A year before he was drafted?

@CRA I owe you an apology. I thought being super upset at Canales/the team for not playing the starters much in the preseason was overblown. And I still don't know how much that would've changed things given how much of an abject disaster this team looked like yesterday, but it's clear as day they needed more live reps together.

At least no one got hurt in the preseason!  We might have lost even worse.

Young's footwork did indeed revert to the ingrained mechanics they are trying to fix; the new has not taken. It may take at some point but that is a very high hurdle. 

I would have expected the defense to be more together but they are full of new people some of whom are basically street FAs. 

I am going with I knew this could happen, and it did, but it was one week. They got their asses kicked and it is probably good for them to be embarrassed. Long season stick to the plan.

I mean, he literally gets blinded in the pocket.  You could see that Sunday.  He can't see on way too many plays.  So auto goes into survival mode and that is bad mechanics and breaking the pocket.  Bigger QB could see and deliver balls he can't.

Its only one game and all, but it truly looks like they were in fact hiding bryce form being further exposed. I thought it was silly and "hey guyz this is the NFL, nothing like that would take place"..... But that was awful seeing him struggle out there and that first throw....just. 

 

Set back 5 years.

Cam Ward come on down!!

I’ve enjoyed watching him develop over the years. He has really come along as a passer, has a great arm, legs. A bit inconsistent and reckless trying to play superhero, but that’s what’s been improving.

If he continues, we’re likely looking at Beck, Allar, Ewers, and Ward.

His pocket awareness is poor and thats being nice.

Member when I said I was being 100% honest in saying PJ > BY. 

You can go down the list- baker, darnold, stroud, levis, etc etc. Panthers org deserves B Y.

    • I don't need my QB to have arm talent for me to like them, but I do put a lot of weight to how it can affect that player's max potential when it's as bad as Bryce's is, particularly when combined with his overall size.  Even the most ardent Bryce supporters can't honestly deny that Bryce is likely to have the weakest arm of all starting QB's his entire career, maybe some year's he's only in the Bottom 5, but short of pumping steroids, that's never going to change. I'm not a historian of the league on QB's arm strength compared to others, but how many players with that weak of an arm compared to the rest of the league, also was an above average QB for a sustained period of time? I know Brees didn't have a great arm and that's the comparison people like to use for Bryce, but again, he's smaller and weaker armed than even Brees was, and Brees is one of the biggest outliers in NFL history as is.  Which is why Bryce was also betting on him becoming THE biggest outlier in league history at the position.  Bryce doesn't need to become any certain type of QB for me to like him or to be considered a success.  But he does need to become a QB who raises the play of your team, who can drag you to wins when needed, and has you as a contender in more years than not (all teams have down years, but the great QB's have their teams winning playoff games more years than not). It's why I didn't want to draft Bryce, because I just never did, and still don't, think he has that potential in him for a long period of time and at a high level.  Can we put the perfect team around him and we get the right schedule in any given year for a player like him to lead us to a high seed and maybe make a run, sure of course.   But those teams don't have sustained success because it takes the perfect combination of rookie contracts and lucky picks/signings that all pan out at the right time.  They have a great regular season, flame out in the playoffs, and then go back to being that team that either just misses the playoffs or just makes it in to lose in the first round every year.  Picking in the 13-20 range every year, always missing out on the true elite talent in the draft but still not contending. Is that who fans want us to become?  I know it's better than what we've been for a while, but I want better for my team, I love our Panthers and I want us to win the Super Bowl. Prove me wrong, I want to be wrong, I don't want to be stuck in NFL purgatory, I don't want to need to have to find a new QB in 2 or 3 years because we still can't get into the playoffs. But I am who I am, and I am someone who doesn't keep his team colored glasses on at all times to only looks at the positive, I look at realities and call them how I see them.  And I see Bryce as our path to NFL purgatory at best right now and it scares the living hell out of me. Bryce, prove me wrong.
    • I miss Luvu, haha.  Chinn too, but really we hadn't used him well since his rookie year.
