Kirios posted:I think if Bryce were anything but a high first round pick every mock draft would have QB as their top need. Not really, because it also costs something to replace him and the Panthers don’t have the money or draft picks to do it. If you get ripped off by a shady used car salesman and buy a lemon that break down all the time it’s not a sunk cost fallacy to try to fix it up and keep driving until you can afford to replace it with something better.

Ehh I guess but if a Nix falls to 33 it may be worth a look... Man the Panthers are in an extremely unenviable position. Their best option is to get a solid vet to stabilize things and give Bryce a chance to learn under them. I think it's a terrible idea to throw him out there Week 1 in 2024. He needs a reset.

You ensure the interior of the offensive line won't be a turnstyle like it was this year. Throw overs at like... Tee Higgins, draft the best guy in the 2nd and if you want to go a little outside of modern thinking, sign someone like King Henry or Saquan if the giants don't extend/franchise him and guarantee some production from the run game in short yardage. All of that is doable in an offseason. You don't bother with Nix or Penix at 33. You take a pass catcher or offensive lineman because who gives a poo poo for 2024. We're not competing anyway.

Lot of teams pinning their off-season hopes on shoring up their OLs when there just isn’t enough good OL to go around. QBs have to be able to function with substandard line play.

Because of so much emphasis placed on the QB position, we'll be stuck in prospect overrating/overreaching hell forever. JJ McCarthy seems the next guy up to fall into the Daniel Jones / Zach Wilson / Bryce Young zone as he magically is going from what people projected as a 4th round pick to a 1st all because of the championship where, imo, he didn't even play that well as a passer.

Wonder how much of the o line struggles is due to Bryce drop back, timing, and mechanics. He’s never going to step up into the pocket and he wants to sprint right. If I’m rushing the left tackle, I’m just trying to get around the edge and chase Bryce down from behind. https://x.com/winkstape/status/1729193757168574909?s=46&t=JBd6ZXmGQ3LmWL-ineTnAA

You are high if you think the Panthers are going to just give up on Bryce Young after one terrible season. He will get a shot next season to be the starter again, and I doubt Tepper is going to hire a coach who says Young is beyond saving. As long as the kid isn't a cancer in the locker room, or just completely uncoachable, he will get more than just one season as a signal caller in Carolina.

If I’m rushing the left tackle, I’m just trying to get around the edge and chase Bryce down from behind. His drop back and timing / speed of it were deliberately changed because the receivers were slow getting out of their breaks. This isn't my head canon either, it's something that analysts have pointed out broadcasts and breakdowns that the panthers changed over the season. Playing with subpar line play and causing rhe problems because you move off centre are one thing. Being instructed to do so and the execution lacking as a unit is another.

The situation is that Bryce lacks the physical ability to consistently play in the NFL at a high level. He doesn't have great arm strength and isn't tall enough to see over the line without standing on his toes which means he's always choosing between visibility and mechanics. You can see that his mechanics are all over the place and that a lot of throws are affected by it. Nothing that you said fixes that problem because none of it makes defensive lines shorter or Bryce taller. People are always talking about how Bryce has great anticipation and that's fine, the problem is that it would need to be drat near clairvoyant to make up for his very obvious physical deficiencies when it comes to height alone. And again, that's not even addressing the poor arm strength and deep accuracy that results from it.

The Giants were historically bad, they gave up the second most sacks all-time. The Commanders, Jets and Titans were all around the Panthers with 64 or 65. That's just a normal terrible season All of them scored more points then the Panthers, though the Panthers did score more points per drive then the Jets

What leverage does Tua have if Miami offers him, say, $30m a year? Does he really think he's going to have a $50m a year market? Baker Mayfield balked at a "middle class" QB contract and look what happened to him.

I’m still not convinced Tua’s the guy. He’s accurate, yeah, but his anticipation still just seems okay - he’s more of a throw to a target quarterback than anticipate what the receiver is doing. What they do have is the most talented skill position group in the NFL and a coach I rate very highly in Mike McDaniel. I wonder if we’re looking at a 49er situation (IE: Any quarterback can at least be good in it) with Tua and we don’t realize it.

Tua basically falls apart the minute the schematic/talent advantage is nullified a bit, which is always going to happen in the NFL. McDaniel has built the system in such a way that he doesn't have to be some insanely talented high end franchise qb but he does need to hit more vertical routes and play better under pressure otherwise he's going to be the limiting factor on the offense (injuries notwithstanding) it almost makes me wonder what this team looks like with a dude who's got a huge arm but less mid range accuracy

to defend tua a little bit, mcdaniel's schematic emphasis is optimizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses, so it's not exactly plug and play in regards to qb. you can look at last year to see that. tua has his limitations and its possible this is as efficient as he'll ever be under this offense, but it's not like the rest of the offense and playcalling can't be improved upon

BlindSite posted:2nd most sacked rookie QB of all time. I mean there aren't huge numbers of 16 game rookie starter seasons to begin with. What's unusual is that they gave a guy that overmatched the opportunity to compile that many sacks because usually rookies struggling that much get injured or benched at some point, or don't see the field immediately for good reason. Levis for example just this season got sacked on 9.9% of his drop backs vs bryce at 10.5%. Zach Wilson got 13 games at 10.3%. Fields was almost 12% in 10 games(and never improved). Haskins(rip) was over 12% in 7 games. Goff was over 11% but only got to play the last 7 games. Etc Lots of crappy rookies get sacked a ton, it's nothing unprecedented. A guy getting to play a full season like that when it's clearly not working is the outlier He did get to quiet the durability questions a bit though

Etc The point I made was that his peers statistically in his rookie season where hit and pressured at a far lower rate and the narrative at the time was "oh they need to protect him better before you can judge" but people are already writing Young off because he's not as tall. Despite being comparably productive in spite of the pressure and sack rate. It's not something that can be handwaved away in that context.

Bryce is 100% a bust, at least in Carolina, but he's also 100% gonna be the starter next year. No team is gonna trade for him for anything more than scraps (and even then I'd be surprised, his rookie contract is not worth it as he is now). Panthers don't really have the draft capital to do anything else, and too many holes to fill as well. Maybe spend a late round pick on a QB and see if you get lucky, but otherwise just save up for the 2025 draft and develop the rest of the team. If the roster improves and Young improves, you might be able to get a 2nd or 3rd from a trade or as part of a package to move to the QB spot they want (if they aren't 1st overall again). Tua may not be the guy, but I would guess he'll get at least a 3yr/$140 mil contract, or maybe like 4yr/$170 with an out for the team after 3 years - and if they beat the Chiefs, those numbers will go up.

I think the way this will go is the next coach will bring in someone to compete with him in training camp, he'll lose the competition or be benched/injured early on in the season, and he'll never see the field in a meaningful capacity again. If this HC job is contingent upon Bryce not only being fixed but being the week 1 starter no matter what then, whelp, leave the team in Munich.

Fields is at least exciting to watch and will occasionally be the reason the bears are even in a game or winning. Bryce has done absolutely nothing nor showed anything. He'd be called a bust or JAG if not for the narrative of a 1st ova pick and bama qb.
