Bryce Young Work Ethic

[scpanther22]

I don't know why people act like the concept of someone doing hard work but just not having the tools is so foreign to them...when we see it in real life/on a job lol

Luke Kuechly had a great work ethic, but he still would take some time to decompress after the season, go hunting, fishing, hanging out with family.  THEY ALL DO IT.  People are making to big a deal out of the netflix thing.  Its silly to think the season ends and he should be back in the film room the next day.

I get your point on the surface and obviously agree he like any other human being should have a personal life and time to himself but seeing him mentioned in the same breath as current or future hall of famers is beyond tiring. It's been happening since before we drafted him. Luke Kuechly is a rare breed.

How about we just let Bryce prove himself better than one of the three current worst statistical passers in the entire league?

If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it. 

I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags. 

On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed. 

I'm not tall. If I'm at a concert and anyone over 6' is in front of me I'm screwed. I'm definitely not throwing 30 yard passes through that forest

Luke trained every day in the offseason. 88 and 58 showed him. You hear it time and time again from our greats in how this person showed how to be a Professional.’ He even said as much in his Dale Jr. interview. He made time to fish and hunt but he ate, slept and dreamed football. 

I don’t know why it took Andy. Hell, it might be that Andy is the only one who has been nice to him. encouraging. I can see legitimacy in an argument that the team rejected him from the beginning. Rag me, but there may be something to that, or maybe he got on some meds, or had his changed around some. The right head meds can turn someone’s life around. Watching that dude walk the sidelines, slapping hands with teammates… it was very different. 

Does he have ‘it’. I’ve yet to see it. 98% sure that’s gonna be  a no from me, dawg.

I think Bryce will no longer be the starter after this season.  I mean I would love it if he becomes a great Panther qb, but I also would love to win the lottery.  Don't think either is going to happen.

the Bryce comment was a bit weird because of exactly how clearly he made it that he got away from football....and that was off the heels of him being horrific at football at the NFL level. 

and Luke would go fishing after a Pro Bowl/All Pro season.   Hits different.

No doubt.  I used Luke because his work ethic is well known.  But the same is true for almost any NFL player.  

I was listening to one NFL veteran (whose name escapes me) and he was talking about playing the last game of the season on a team that wasn't going to the playoffs.  He talked about how virtually everyone spent the pregame talking about what they were going to do in the offseason, vacations, hunting, fishing, clubbing etc...  No one talked about hitting the film room.

Who knows. Someone ask him again. Do an Ask The Old Guy question lol.

well, I give Bryce a really hard time.  But when that article hit, I also bashed the Panthers.  Because that's where that horrible PR hit came from.  Carolina Panthers put it out there.  They didn't do him any favors w/ the narrative they chose to paint.   They made him sound bad to a crowd they knew was unhappy.   Poor job by their people on that.

He can study all he wants. He’s not physically capable of competing and all the prep won’t change that. The dude who played Tyrion Lannister can study Vince carter all he wants, he’ll never dunk.

Bryce is a bad QB at the pro level, but you don't make it to the NFL at his size without some kind of work ethic.

It’s so ridiculous. It’s not like he’s this athletic specimen. He’s not Mike Vick, kid has to work his ass off to make up for all those shortcomings . No pun intended.

I mean knowing what we know now, if Luke only ate and slept football and didn't dream about it too, would he have played longer? Did being so intense about the game contribute to his decision to hang it up early?

Not arguing to be lazy, but just putting it out there. 

On another note, there is such a thing to having strong work ethic but it still being ineffective because you never had to learn how to learn. I know of people who sailed through school all the way to 12th grade and then struggled in college because they actually had to study...without ever learning how to study because they didn't have to. They eventually got it right with hard work but it was a hugely confronting learning curve.

Bryce may be the same and that's what people here have said. Take his footwork--it's always been bad but never cost him before the NFL and even though he reported worked on it in the off-season, it still may not be effective because he never had to intentionally work on it. Same with reading the field, getting in the gym, etc that he looked good at before the NFL and is now the opposite.

The thing is the dude could be 100% about football and only football and that doesn't mean it would ever translate to the field in the NFL. He obviously has the physical limitations but aside from that the dude just does not read the field well or make good in-game decisions. One would think the more practice, studying defenses, experience the better but reality is even with all that some guys just never have it. Which appears to be the case with Bryce. 

In all walks of life and sports there's people who make up for the talent they lack by putting in more work than the naturally gifted folks. Remember the fateful dinner that won him the job was Bryce talking up his preparation. It was a much a part of his mythos as the super processor crap and he hasn't show a hint of any of that since he got here.

I think the fanbase would be more patient with if we saw him putting extra effort but he usually seems nonchalant, if anything.  I'm sure he watches film like everyone else but basic prep ain't good enough when you lack basic tools. We were told this guy was an especially hard worker and that hasn't proven true at all.

I don’t doubt that he does the “first one in, last one out” thing that qbs are supposed to do. 

I don’t doubt he spends a lot of time watching film and making film watching faces. 

I doubt he has any idea what he’s looking at as evidenced by, well, his entire career. There’s a difference between putting in hours and putting them in and getting anything out of it. 

Luke Kuechky could almost certainly read a defense better than Bryce young and doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.
