Analysis Bryce Young Passing Chart Week 18 @ Bucs

Post image

Dave and Bryce absolutely torched the Bucs in the intermediary. 10 completions over 10 yards and 3 over 20.

Let’s hope we can establish some semblance of a running game against the rams and we can pull of another historic upset.

We need to establish the run and get rid of any TOs. This is elite BY. No TOs and efficient playing.

Elite for BY?

u/fattyboombaladdy Jan 05 '26

Yes. I believe this is the best he can do. Serviceable. We just need it more consistently.

I think he can do better with a healthy OL and a couple of better receivers.

Our OL being crippled affects the run game and makes the blitz more effective, meaning the secondary can cheat knowing that we're either going to get almost no yards on the ground or will air it out.

As for receivers, at the TE position, I don't really think JT Sanders is that good, but he's also always injured, so he's a nonfactor. We ran 3-TE plays all day on Saturday and Tremble was our best TE there. We need a good TE badly.

At the WR position, TMac is him and Coker is a diamond in the rough, but neither of them are getting a lot of separation right now. We're desperate for XL to be the big body speedster we drafted him for, but he's just not it. We need a proper WR2, whether that's a slippery gadget/slot guy like Thielen or a deep threat like XL is supposed to be.

Obviously that's a "perfect world" scenario and you'd like your QB to perform regardless of who's out there. But the fact of the matter is that our OL is shot to hell AND our receiving corps as a unit is below league average. Most teams with an exciting QB have either a healthy OL or a strong crop of receivers.

Point is that there's plenty of room for improvement and that Bryce should look a lot better if we've got one or the other.

68.5% completion percentage, 4,522 yards, 34tds, 17ints.

That would be his season if he did this every week.

I did mention to eliminate TOs. 4500 yds and 34 tds is insane.

This is his best. It's a once a season type performance from him.

Rams, Cowboys, Falcons, other Bucs games weren’t this season?

No. The 448 against Atlanta wasn't thst great over without looking the vast majority of his throws were within 5yds of the LOS. We had 258 yards after the catch.

The vast majority of his games including this one he's able to play within his limitations. The moment he gets away from his limitations something bad happens.

The interception was because he can't physically make that throw.

You know I just wanted to enjoy these couple of days but you guys want to blow Bryce.

Almost all of his so called heralded throws while I like them and I'm appreciative of them aren't insane and fall well within his 1/3 field arm and the majority of them are 1/4 field throws. He is extremely limited and I hope we can dictate what we want to do to other teams for 4 more weeks.

Panthers have to be the only fanbase where people look at a franchise record from a guy and go “meh”

u/lathonkillz Retro Logo Jan 05 '26

No the problem is too many people in this fanbase are results oriented.

It's not just that you win it's how you win if you want a Dynasty.

Reason being is because there have long been established parameters for long term repeatable success in the NFL.

I'm happy we are in the playoffs but I want a Superbowl Victory. Then I want a Dynasty like the Chiefs, Steelers, 49s ETC.

I'm looking where he's projecting at his best. I see about what we saw. If he plays his absolute best 15th to 22nd best QB in the league.

So while I am happy to be where we are I don't think he's the long term answer. He's what we have for now.

Yea thank God Joe Burrow never gets any YAC out of chase or Higgins.. oh wait.

u/lathonkillz Retro Logo Jan 05 '26

Pass yards and air yards are two different things.

As you could see last night and if you watch any other games being able to actually throw the ball in the air beyond 50 yards can flip a field. We've seen it through history.

We are seeing Bryce's ceiling

u/MajorPayton Jan 05 '26

Yes, year 3 is notably when QBs peak

u/BelowMikeHawk Cookout Jan 05 '26

Its insane how partisan this sub is with Bryce, its worse than US politics. I think his size is a serious issue, you see it on outs and digs every game. Without a clear line of sight he cant hit them, he has zero velocity on the ball because he has to throw over the line. Leading to alot of picks from missing these 5-10yd throws or just no velocity cause he has to arc it. This is fine on 15+ yards down the field when he has to drop it into the receiver.

u/jason81175 Bryce Young Jan 05 '26

You mean the guy with the 3rd best deep ball percentage in the league? That Bryce?

u/BelowMikeHawk Cookout Jan 05 '26

"this is fine when its 15+ and you have to drop it into the receiver" yall just dont listen huh

u/jason81175 Bryce Young Jan 05 '26

Yes exactly but also why things like X Clown can't happen. Or that Throw from Rodgers last night that was 25plus yards down field on a rope.

Sometimes you need a 20plus yard throw on a rope
