My great grandfather was an Irish-German immigrant. He’d apparently have a cold one every morning for breakfast.

Let’s go Colts!

Yeah… I don’t think Kraft likes him that much anyways. He watches what happens around the league. I don’t like Kraft one bit, but he’s not a fool.

9/20 | 124 yards | 0 tds 1 int True freshman performance. He did lead a 77 yard fg drive to tie the game. Not too bad for being a 3rd stringer. Good job Cole!

Gotta give him 3 years before writing him off, but as you said previously the biggest question is what do the Panthers do within those 3 years. Listening to some of the retired NFL vets, they’ve mentioned it was back in the old days where the offense was set and the QB was expected to grow into that system. Now for most coaches it’s the opposite where they craft the offense around the QB so they can have early success. To me it seems like Frank is still in the old school mindset, and the fact that he was hired so quickly after being let go by us perhaps told him that his philosophy isn’t inefficient (we all know it is). The Panthers hired him for a reason. They bought into this philosophy.

I was wondering about that. He could pick us apart Sunday. We just love giving QBs space and confidence growing completions…

I haven’t slept past 9 since college.

Don’t forget trading CMC as well. Christian could’ve been a huge asset for that team with a rookie QB right about now.

Oh personnel is definitely one of the contributing factors here. The Panthers have 0 weapons on offense. They traded everything they had away to get Young, and had nothing left.

I'm up at 5 am every day regardless if it's weekend or not.

True, but there were certain coaches who apparently didn't believe in taking the practice squad with them to away games. Small things like that matter in the locker room.

Yeah I'd say he's basically our Jack Trudeau and Chris Chandler wrapped into one player.

I like the fact that the entire team went together including the practice squad players. One team. One family. That matters.

Absolutely. A stable offensive philosophy and scheme matters a great deal for a QB's development. If they do not fit that style, they aren't going to have success. Imagine how much better Luck would've been had he played in a stable offense system that didn't change every year.

It's super basic. And what's worse? They did the same exact plays last night against the Bears: send the receivers down in a line, have them stop and turn around... Booooorrrrrriiiiiinnnnnnggggggggg. Nobody is scared of that offense.

He gets a hell of a game next Thursday: Bengals vs. Ravens Now THAT will be worth Primetime!

Yes. Exactly that.

His confidence is shaken for sure. You can see that he doesn't trust his receivers which is why he's just randomly taking off trying to get the 1st down in the middle of the field. That is just not sustainable and is dangerous. I also agree, he hasn't shown any "wow" moments. I mean he hit on that 45 yard pass to Strachan, but that was about it as far as last night.

Luke Getsy was doing an okay job trying to get Bagent to succeed. There were plenty of play action plays where Tyson had tons of time. The downside for them was that Bagent just wasn't able to see the field. Which, I mean he was a 4th stringer originally so not that surprising.

I'm tellin' ya guys, take a look at the 22. His receivers are practically never open in this scheme. Even bad defenses are blanketing them. And worse of all? They're using the same plays TWICE in quarters. And most of those plays are these long drawn out routes where the WR takes forever to even turn and look. That's not good for a rookie QB. Defenses aren't scared by this offense at all. Now, with that said, Young has some serious physical deficiencies... His velocity is just not NFL level. He seems to need to put his entire body into intermediate throws.

Pretty much all #1 overall QBs struggle their first year. Lawrence lost most of his games and dealt with probably the 2nd worst head coach of all time in Urban Meyer (second only to McDaniels), Burrow was like 1-5 before getting injured and out for the season, Stafford had the shoulder injury and was also out, Peyton broke the record for interceptions... Young needs a different offense.

Panthers.

Yeah you didn't miss anything. The play calling was beyond bad... They were putting Young into situations he shouldn't have been put into.
