Has this game changed feelings about Young?

You consider losing by multiple scores and being unable to manage additional garbage time points at the end of the game without throwing a very ugly interception on his final drive not only not folding but a sign of progress?

And if you remove the 83 yard touchdown pass in the 2nd quarter he had 136 passing yards for the game.

By your standad we might as well bring in Kyle Allen and give him another look.

Compared to weeks 1 and 2? Yes, this was light years better.

I'm not 100% sold on Bryce as the guy either, but the idea that the improvement we've seen since he returned to the lineup suddenly means nothing because of one bad game is dumb.

It was a bad game by the entire team, but Bryce has had far worse performances. I don't think this fundamentally changes the trajectory of his career; it was one game. If you were sold on Bryce before this game, you probably still are. If you were convinced he wasn't the guy before, you still feel the same.

And if you're like me and are hopeful, but not convinced yet, nothing has changed either. In any case, it was still only one game.

Bryce Young should have honestly been a 5th to 7th round draft pick to begin with taken into consideration his arm strength,size ,mobility/ ilusiviness or quickness, speed, weìght & height .& moreover that's why BY did not workout at the NFL draft combine because he already knew likewise that yes it would in fact affect his draft stock & be counterproductive to partcipate.& i feel like people who still support Bryce Youn̈g do not truly understand that you are not actually developing a  #1 overall draft pick when you take into consideration his skillset & ceiling

It re-reminded me that this is still a big man’s game. I still like him and his newly shown moxie, but with a very large bearing down on him, he will continue to be a fumble machine. 

speed rush from blind side is a guaranteed strip sack. 

What about being lightly tapped on the shoulder while diving

I don't blame people for not *giving up* on Young after this game, but realistically, this is much more similar to his career to date than the games vs KC and TB (imo his 2 best) were. That is what concerns me. This wasn't just a ho-hum meh kind of day, which tbh I was expecting (and how i'd describe NO and NYG), but it was a "wheels fall off, Young fugs the team over" kind of day (his opening drive fumble and opening half fumble absolutely ruined our chances of being competitive).  He wasn't alone in his sucking, no, but unlike, say, our OL which has played near the top of the league all year - he simply 'returned to form.'

If the lows are this low, his highs just aren't worth leaning / building a team around. Because although I really liked what he did vs TB and KC (and to an extent the Eagles, but I think we saw some cracks there too), he is ultimately severely limited in terms of physical talent and has yet to really deliver a total performance of a game.

Not saying cut him. I think he'd probably be a pretty good backup, tbh.  But let's start looking to rebuild our QB room this season and have a real competition in the offseason.

I do think it was a better punch than that, but imo that's irrelevant - the dude needs to fuging slide in that circumstance.  He's not getting a first down either way.

Defender did not make contact with the ball. 

I’ve been slapped harder by women.

I thought I saw his arm get punched as he was going harder.

Also says a lot more about you than the hit itself 😉

Not saying that Bryce played well or is without blame, but the entire OL scored in the 50s or lower.  The running game shut down--and the pass protection broke down.  I watched Ickey try to block Micah Parsons without extending his arms, bending at the waist, like he was going to shoulder block him or something. You do not block him well with good technique, but how in the hell did his brain tell him, "Ick, here's what we are going to do..."  Dumbassery!!!  So when the OL prevents you from running and they suck in pass protection, it is hard to look good as a QB.  Again, Bryce need to read the pressure and hit the open WRs. That pass to Thielen when Sanders was open tells me that he is predetermining who is going to throw to--not good.

    • The main problem here though is that second part is what makes the first part incorrect. If Bryce is the guy next year in a sink or swim season, you NEED to get him a #1 WR, and the most likely path to that is drafting T-Mac, I honestly think he's our only chance at getting a #1 WR in this offseason. Hunter's main position is going to be a CB and we're going to be picking in the Top 10, higher than Burden is going to be drafted. Higgins isn't coming here unless we make him a Top 5 highest paid WR in the game, which would just be an asinine contract for him.  After him, there are actually a few other decent WRs in the FA market this offseason, the problem is they are all older WRs past their prime who even if they have a year or two left in them as #1 WRs, they are signing with contenders, not us (like Diggs, Adams, Hopkins, Cooper).  The closest option would be Godwin, but he's not an outside #1, he's a slot who is best as a #2 option, and coming off a bad injury. The only other option would be to try and trade for someone who's team doesn't want to give them a new contract, but any team like that is likely going to want a future 1st round pick for them (such as a DK Metcalf) like those trades in the past few years of AJ Brown and Tyreek, and our future 1sts need to be untouchable until we're settle on a QB. Yes, I know coming from me of all people, this seems like another T-Mac support post, but it's not, it's just pointing out the realities of him probably being the only legitimate option for us to acquire a #1 WR in this offseason.
    • If he still needs significant help in his pass blocking midway through next season, do the panthers risk paying him LT market value, hoping he continues to improve? Laying starting LT money on a player who is in the ‘still improving’ category is a big gamble.    If the panthers don’t throw a really juicy contract at him, another desperate GM will take a flier on him and he’ll be gone. I’m not big on a 5th year option and I’m really not big on franchise tag.  In a way, it’s a similar situation to how it went down with burns. Measurables are there in a guy you’ve waited on for 4 years. Now all of a sudden, they’ve waited too long and are playing a lose lose hand. As with Burns, there’s always someone willing to over pay. Panthers turned down 2 firsts, Burns then dogs it bad, and they have to take what could get from the Giants… and surprise, Burns is who he is.  So what do they do with this dude? Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy, but unless they have an absolute stud at LT, Bryce will never flourish. Will Ickey turn in to the pass protecting stud this team and Bryce desperately need?
    • Nah I did a lot of deep digging for pickup trucks. All of them have their issues, but the 21-24 V8 titan seems to be the most reliable based on my research. The diesel is were Nissan messed up. I don't need a diesel truck.   Also Nissan has the best warranty 5yr 100k. By far the best deal on the market. Also while they are outdated I'm kind of excited about getting one because they no longer make them 24 was the last year of production. I think my mind is made up. Always rooted for the underdogs anyway. No more RAM for me baby!   Titan here I come in 2025!
