This is exactly how Bryce Young torched defenses at the end of last year and in training camp
Knows how to manage pressure, Durant panic, and knows exactly where to go with the ball

Dan Morgan: What are you up to, man? You don't sound too excited.
Princely Umanmielen: Why y'all take so long, man?

Dave Canales: Princely! Let's go, man!
Princely: I'mma have to break y'all pockets in like 3-4 years

Cam Newton interviewing CJ Stroud was so wholesome, arguing who had a better rookie season
Cam: I don't know nobody who really had a better rookie campaign than you
CJ: I'd say you be up there, let's have that convo
Cam: Yeah, but we ain't make it to playoffs, you won

What makes this stat even more insane is that Bryce Young has only 8 total wins in his career
According to @Stathead - Bryce Young has the 9th most Game Winning Drives since 2023.
This is out of 106 qualifying QBs in that span of time.

Mike Renner gave the #Panthers a C for drafting Xavier Legette
CJ Stroud immediately disagreed
"You don't get WRs to all be the same... DK always had Tyler Lockett. AJ Brown has Devonta Smith... they work off each other. He's high on my board because we run the Niners system."

S2 measures how quickly athletes process information. Brock Purdy had the high score last year.

As a rule of thumb:
When a play looks bad, question the player
When multiple plays look bad, question the coordinator
When multiple phases look bad, question the head coach
When multiple games look bad, question the GM
When multiple seasons look bad, question the owner

If I were Bryce Young, I would ask the #Panthers to trade me
Not because of the benching or poor play, but because Carolina's toxic environment hasn't supported and developed any QB in the last 5 years

The moment when Greg Olsen comped Tetairoa McMillan to AJ Green on the broadcast:
"He kinda reminds me of like an AJ Green. A lot of people might think maybe a Mike Evans... I think he's a little faster than Evans, but he's big, he's long, he's a great hands catcher."

#Panthers HC Dave Canales was savage and blunt for this answer and I respect it
Q: Unusual to claim 3 guys at one position off the waiver wire, are you concerned about the cornerback position?
A: Not now... we were hoping for somebody to step up and take it... the guys showed us what they could do, but it's Dan and I's responsibility to bring in the traits and the type of guys we're looking for so I'm excited to get a look at these (new) guys.

Greg Olsen with GREAT advice for the #Panthers:
"I donβt think you need to panic and go pay $25M to whoever the top free-agent WR just to check that box. I donβt think theyβre one player away. I think itβs gonna be roster depth, great drafting, signing the right free agents."

As someone whose father also passed, I felt this through the camera and my heart broke for Xavier Legette
There are some who don't know about my dad and make comments
But the difference here is that David Newton knows or should've known about XL's tragedy. Prayers for XL.

Such a sweet moment captured on camera
#Panthers LB Maema Njongmeta, who was signed off the Bengalsβ p-squad in Week 3, says to Dave Canales after the win over Dallas: βThank you for bringing me here, Coach.β
That doesnβt feel insignificant after a 3-3 start. Guys want jobs on a 53, but seemed liked sincere gratitude to be part of the program.

Breaking down some of the film from Browns v. #Panthers preseason game 1 π§΅
Starting off with a play we've seen multiple times in camp, a deep ball from Bryce Young to Tetairoa McMillan, who's 1 on 1 on the outside

Why Micah Parsons is a great match for the #Panthers
β
Preference for young, veteran EDGE
β
System fit
β
Just negotiated big contract with his agent (same as Jaycee Horn)
β
Parsons' favorite team growing up was the Panthers
β
CAR has cap flexibility in future years

The breakouts of Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield have conditioned me to believe that if the #Panthers can't figure out how Bryce Young, he's gonna be a star somewhere else too
Sam Darnold since beginning of 2024 season:
17-4 record
5,224 passing yards
40 TDs, 14 INTs
103.1 passer rating

Matthew Stafford didnβt want to come Carolina.

Deshaun Watson was pursued for a year by Carolina but likely goes to Atlanta instead.
