    Think, if Coker wasn't kept out of the endzone by an insane play by the LB on that last play, Young would have had the franchise record for TDs in a game. Absolutely the franchise guy and Canales has even said so. The turnaround from Week 2, through the benching, and resurgence since he returned as the starter is just insane.

    That 1st and 25 hole shot was the kind of throw that will keep defensive coordinators up at night, because very few QBs in the league would even attempt something with that level of anticipation. He hit his back foot on 2 steps and absolutely ripped a 30 yard dime with zero hesitation.

  • @codyallen43
    @codyallen43 5 днів тому +16

    As a panthers fan, i am SO relieved to see Bryce starting to live up to potential, we've had a long, hard ten years since that 2015 season, and after last season and the start of this season it seemed like Bryce was a bust and we were in for another 5+ years of irrelevance. But man, it feels so good to finally have some hope. Bryce has improved every single week since coming off the bench. This last draft class has so much potential it's crazy, to see Legette, Trevin Wallace, Jatavion Sanders and Jalen Coker (a UDFA!) looking good despite some rookie troubles was amazing. I'm super bummed out about Jonathan Brooks because he's got one hell of a long road to relevance but even so this has the makings of one of our best drafts in a LONG time.
    The team finished 5-12 but we WOULD have beat the Eagles and Bucs without game ending drops that would have been touchdowns and had a shot at beating KC, and that's while having LITERALLY the worst scoring defense in NFL history. If we can fix up that defense the way they fixed the offense this year this team will be SCARY. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

      I don’t see how we could pay for an established top WR and afford the type of improvements we need to improve what was statistically the worst defense in NFL history. Especially when they will be running the exact same scheme. The amount of improvements needed on defense I think sort of just leave us hoping that Coker or Leggette can develop into a true #1 ballhawk receiver at this point.

    • @handtattoos6901
      @handtattoos6901 5 днів тому +2

      @@FreefallSC I agree. I don’t see a big name WR coming to CAR this year on a cheaper contract (only thing we can afford ATM) until Bryce proves he’s this version of himself for a full season.
      We’re tight on cap space, and Dan Morgan/Canales retained Evero because they acknowledge that in their desperate attempts to save Bryce Young and get him help on offense last year (signing big name OL, drafting WR, RB and TE, and trading for a Johnson was still an attempt even if it didn’t work), they had to really neglect our defensive playing staff. Let some key guys leave in FA, replaced them with cheap JAGs, and one big name they did try end up signing was hurt most of the year (Wonnum). Sprinkle in the injuries to Derrick Brown and Shaq Thompson? It’s not a surprise we finished with a historically bad defense.
      So I wager they look to bank on the offense to keep on this “developing” path and they focus all their major offseason resources back into defense.

    I'm very excited to see Young next year, and Legette. Honestly same thing with him, he was a more "raw" prospect and yes, everything has not been perfect in year 1, but you see the flashes of excellence that you think once the rough spots get ironed out, we could be on to something. Coupled with a year 2 breakout for 0Sanders, this team could be kinda nasty soon.

  • @Weenis420

    You said it just right in the closing comments. The expectation is that these 1st round QBs walk in and turn around dysfunctional organizations. If they struggle fans and the media are quick to point the finger at the kid and not the office. Super happy to see Bryce flash in the last few weeks and I hope he can sustain it. It is hard to come into a job where the expectations are astronomical and you're set up to fail.

    Any chance you look at Penix in the same game? He was really awesome I thought, some of those throws were draw-dropping.

    I'm curious about what your take is on the other quarterback in this game

    Please Carolina build around this guy. He’s your future.

    Almost a literally unbeleivable turnaround. He looked as cooked as anyone I've ever watched play QB at the start of the year.

    can we talk about how the 3rd or 4th best receiver in the entire draft class was an undrafted free agent? Jalen Coker is amazing

    Hey JT, just curious. In comparison to the other offensive minded coaches/OC’s like Ben Johnson for example. Is Dave canales someone you really like in what he does in his ways to get Bryce in favorable schemes?

    What do you mean final victory lap for Thielen? He still has one more year on his contract with the Panthers...
