GDT: Carolina Panthers 5: Young and the Restless Fans

[HisIceness]

Scored Touchdown. Successful week

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

That Cincy touchdown was the first truly poor play in two weeks. Carolina is not good enough to tackle like that and get away with it.

 

[MustardStew]

The offense can do stuff now - but we forgot how to tackle so it could happen...

 

[HisIceness]

Xavier Leggette TD!

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Glad to see Legette with a bit of a breakout game. We should be up 2 TDs if not for Diontae drops and terrible tackling. Either way good first half all things considered. Bengals are absolutely desperate and not quite as bad as their 0-3 record. Still not expecting a ton from the team this year but Canales looking more legit after the first 2 disastrous weeks. Dalton coming in obviously a big reason but I also think Canales is getting settled in a bit. He looked way over his head weeks 1 and 2 aside from Bryce sucking.

That absolutely should have been offensive pass interference.

 

[cptjeff]

Refs gift the Bengals a touchdown, but as well as the defense held for a very long sequence on the goal line, I'm pretty happy with that performance.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Back to sucking lol. Was a fun game and a half anyways

 

[Wolfpuck]

Welcome back to Earth boys.

 

[cptjeff]

So, there may still be a defensive issue.

 

[Bub]

Baker back to baking. Yiss.

ALSO… FU^K YOU CHEESEHEADS.

Better keep your head on a swivel next time you're in the Vengeanceland Bojangles parking lot.

What happened with Young? Is it that he can't do those things at the NHL level that scouts thought he could do? Is it that he can't process the game when it's so much faster and bigger? Or does he still have this in him, but needs a fresh start? Or did the Panthers just ruin him "short term"? Or is he just not big enough to handle the rigors?

CJ Stroud was the best available, but Tepper and others didn't like how he sounded when he talked. They took magic beans over someone who was athletically and played a better pro style

So you're saying Bryce Young is Mr Bean?

WELL THAT’D MAKE ME HAPPY, BECAUSE THAT’D MEAN THERE IS A BOJANGLES WITH A PARKING LOT.

I'd like to see Mr bean get a start.

How old is he now?

Is that a "hindsight" statement? IIRC, most of the rankings had Young above Stroud as well, didn't they? The only concerns I recall about Young were his size. I believe many on this board also liked the pick (not necessarily the trade, but the pick).

Anyhow, was just curious as I don't watch that Panthers often.

I understand the QBs are hard to predict when drafting so often times, guys that get drafted early flop and guys that get drafted later become HOFers. I was just curious about the specifics of why he's struggling and if there is hope for him.

 

[Tryamw]

The trade is akin to asking for a band aid to solve dismemberment. Young I was ambivalent to. Thought he might have it but Stoud was the higher bottom guy. Still not sure if we'd have broken Stroud

Stroud, Young and Richardson was the top 3.

Stroud was the most ready, Young had the Alabama pedigree while being way under sized and Richardson had the most raw talent and athleticism.

Reports was that the way Stroud spoke is why Carolina took Young over him, despite Stroud having the better QB IQ and size.
