QB school for Bryce Young is up for the Panthers fans or anyone curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4h_44jpi1Q

Couple interesting takeaways but mostly it's kind of what I saw watching live. Young flashes a lot of really good things but looks inexperienced and a fraction late on somethings which should improve with time. The receivers had a few miscues that probably aren't there in another 5 weeks, stuff like stopping on routes thinking they were beat, or poo poo route running.

Definitely think things are looking up at QB anyway. I don't see the poo poo we saw from Darnold or Baker or Teddy or anyone else under center for the last few years. If the coaches are worth their paycheck I think we'll see some pretty quick improvements.

Brown has really turned into a nice player.

Don't know if he'll ever be "worth" where he was drafted or whatever, but he's absolutely a piece that needs to be locked up for Carolina.

The number of tackles brown ends up making down the field is kind of absurd. Like he'll be rushing the passer who hits a tunnel screen and then suddenly he is hitting the receiver 7 yards down the field

Missing 20 of your first 37 games in the league as a top ten pick is a right kick in the balls. Dude cannot stay healthy. God tier CB when he's on the field but there's no ability without availability.

Yeah, those 17 games with CJ Henderson quality CBs are brutal (see that game near the end of last season against the Bucs)

Everybody thinks if a QB isn't a superstar, they suck.

E: I mean this is basically his rookie year. He's still figuring things out

He's just kinda inconsistent, he'll throw some absolute darts and then be way off target with others. Also getting bailed out by receivers adjusting to his throws. I agree though he's been serviceable.

And yeah he's still learning, only 6 starts under his belt.

If only every team with a rookie QB were as optimistic as Packers fans who are convinced “ironically” (it’s not ironic) that Jordan Love is a future HoFer because he didn’t poo poo his pants in two straight NFL games.

truth.

also Ridder looks totally stiff and robotic for long stretches like he did for most of the game today. its just that he'll also have 4th quarters like today. so who knows, there's stuff to grab onto either direction. at least he doesn't look utterly useless

Bringing punter chat here. Jake Camarda is a weapon. That 72 yard punt was incredible. It landed in the end zone so was closer to 75. Then he nailed a pooch punt to the 6 that resulted in Shaqs pick 6.

Every rookie back gets a label on him as to what kind of runner he is, and usually I think it's just shorthand the commentariat use to quickly classify people, but Bijan really does run like Barry Sanders.
