Bryce Young’s 2023 game tape is SO frustrating for so many reasons... 

I appreciate the non bias analysis

I like this guy...hes not just watching high and low lights... hes watching the entire GAME! And someone who takes that time, can understand, and make a determination as to what is truly going on. Im not a fan of Bryce, but im ABSOLUTELY pulling for him this year.

Very nice breakdown and it's cool to see Brits getting into the NFL and really take it in. You could tell Bryce's confidence this game was shot as this was the tail end of season. A good game that showed flashes of what he can really do were the Greenbay game and the 2nd falcons game. I REALLY think with Ashawn Robinson and Damien Lewis, our oline will be much improved. I know Austin has some experience at center but will be interesting to see. From the pieces Canales has put together the offense actually has an identity now. And coach Canales was very clear on his vision for Bryce. Control the line of scrimmage so Bryce can fire that ball out of there like a rocket. Overall I like the moves in FA and draft and ready to see some camp footage of them meshing. Really ready for this offense to come together.

Any coach that helps turn Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield into pro bowlers, has sold me

Thank you for this! Panthers fans rarely get this level of detail. Would love to see a breakdown of what Olsen and Keuchly called Bryce’s lightbulb game against Green Bay

I think in the first few games this year Bryce is going to realize he is not getting destroyed in less than 2 secs or hey my guys can actually get separation or even wow it’s not all up to me now. He is going to be a way better qb than what we saw last year

Monday morning quarterback brain HOLY SHIT LMAO

One of the best other small NFL RU-vidrs I’ve found. Your content is incredible, one day we’ll both be on Top 👏

Gotta be honest. Watching a Brit breakdown NFL is a bit weird, but overall, it was a good video. Bryce didn't get even close to fair shot his rookie year. The offensive line and lack of weapons bolster about 90% of the blame here. You can look back at film and see just how much he was pressured over and over and over again. Hard to make accurate throws when you're running for your life. Now that the O line is beefed up and he has more quality options to throw to, we should see improvement. This will be a defining season for Bryce.

Bryce Young had over 8,200 yards in his two years starting in college, with 79TDs and 12INTs. His passer rating over those two years was over 160 QB efficiency rating. From what I read, last year, Bryce Young had almost the worst pass protection in the league, and the center was graded the worst in the league. The lack of protection obviously has B Young second guessing himself. He's like a boxer who got KOed in sparring a few times... he's in his own head now. But with WRs who get open faster, more, more separation, with better protection, why couldn't he do what he did in college? He did that 160+ efficiency with 8,200 yards and 79TD with few INTs against the best schools in the country... WITH a good team around him.

@13:11 "Adam thielen is wide open but Bryce just throw the football" Sir as a Carolina Panthers fan I will warn you. When you point out open wide receivers, there are Bryce young defenders that appear shouting their ritualistic "he had no open receivers"

You did an excellent job! I really enjoyed your comments and film. Keep it up! I can not wait till the season begins and you break down the games! I am very impress with your knowledge of the game. You would not want me to breakdown a Manchester soccer (football) game.

Good video. I'm a Panthers fan since literally day 1. I've watched easily over 95% of every snap. Keep up the real talk. Don't let the Bryce excusers get to you. There was a lot of blame to spread, but anybody who has a decent head on their shoulders can tell BY was horrible last season.

First of all, great breakdown 👏 you said all of the things I would see on film. The confidence issue with Bryce was concerning last year but I think changes with a real plan. The biggest thing an nfl offense can do for a rookie qb is create a playbook with things that they know from college. We did none of that. He had too many people in his ear and wasn’t getting any coaching. Hard to do for any rookie, let alone a qb. The only good film you’ll see on Bryce last year that proves he can be successful is the Green Bay game. If you haven’t looked into that one it will inspire a bit of confidence for you 🙏 well done man

Watch the green bay game…. Bryce is gonna be fine and I believe will be better than everyone thinks this season… it takes time but they have already done a lot in one off season. Keep pounding baby.

Good vid. It’s a tough eval to pick Game 17 of a horrific season with a historically bad OL and WR group. And you did allude to that several times as far as how much of an impact that had to have had on Bryce’s confidence by this point in the season. You made a lot of very fair points in critiquing Bryce Young. That said it’s also worth noting whenever discussing any of Bryce’s tape from last season that for the most part his WRs and his OL did him very few favors. I don’t think you showed it in the video, but there was a sequence where DJ Chark literally had 3 drops in a row this game, which was a perfect microcosm of what Bryce dealt with last year. He of course has a lot to prove this season, but MAN he was in a pretty insurmountable situation last year. I’m just glad he survived it.

So clearly I respect the video for showing his bad parts but how are you gonna open the video with “stop the hate” then only show “bad” clips. I watched Bryce all year. He made several shitty throws/int’s. He couldn’t throw deep to save his life. But I promise you, none of anything is on him from last year.. no seperation from wrs and the worst blocking ever. Not to mention running the same schemed plays over and over..

So I skipped to the 4 minute mark and made it to the 10 minute mark...and that's all my mind could take without punching a wall listening to this analysis.

They ran the same play where he missed Mingo against the Vikings earlier that year and it worked beautifully. While he missed the throw in this game, he was off balance and targeting a rookie mingo. I think if theilan ran that post he wouldn’t have stretched it as vertically and would’ve caught that ball

Really enjoyed this would love if you made more, fun listen- can you analyse lions vs 49ers great game

Good breakdown, a lot of great analysis. One thing I didn't see you mention too often was play progression, which has a significant impact on play success against certain coverages. Specifically with the play around 15:00, the quick slant where he doesn't throw it to Thielen. I agreed with your initial assessment that he should have thrown it, but watching the endzone view, my opinion changed. As soon as the ball is snapped, he isn't even looking in Thielen's direction which makes me think the progression was Slot, then TE, but the slot was a deep seam route which takes time to develop and was bracketed by the LBer and safeties so it was never really an option, and then the TE got blown up at the top of his in route so that wasn't happening, and by that time the pass rush got to him so he had to bail. So the question to me becomes did Bryce run the play as designed, and if so, should he have seen that Thielen would have come open quickly against that coverage pre-snap and changed his progression and or did he have the autonomy to make that call? That's where I think experience comes with extended play time and getting more snaps and exposure to NFL defenses. I do agree that a lot of it is confidence though. With the play around 19:00, you mentioned you didn't know the progression but he should have thrown the ball to Mingo near the sideline and I agree. Looking at the endzone view, he came off that read so damn quickly, and to me that one looked like he was rushing through his progressions trying to find someone open right then before he got hit. If he had the confidence in his line, he could have calmly looked the safety off then delivered the ball to Mingo, but he was terrified at that point in the season. No argument from his footwork needing to improve, it was bad all season, but it was a perfect storm of terrible play design, bad play calling, bad receivers, bad blocking, and bad footwork all season leading to some really really bad football.

Excellent analysis and I love your approach and clean delivery. This is more informative in how the Panthers offense operated last year than what the media typically does. Bryce has a lot of fundamentals to work on, take what the defense gives you. Last years Wr corp didn’t help much either.

here is some feedback that I hope helps you a little bit more on the X and Os portion of the game. The concept of the play at the 6 min mark is to get the safety out of position, the Panthers ran this variation of the Dagger concept pretty much all year. The play has 3 routes designed to beat coverage types + an audibled hot route. - AT's route is to pull a zone player out of position to open up the in that Mingo is running behind him. It also gives the QB a quick read whether it's man or zone - Mingo is running a man beating IN route in a one on one situation - Chark is running a skinny post in case the safety jumps the Mingo route and he will be open over the top - Sulli is audibled because it's island coverage on the boundary on a third down play. Your content would be helpful if it leaned more into the tacticals of the Xs and Os. Also, it appears that you missed that Sulli's facemask was grabbed at the top of the route (and so did the refs). Lastly, Bryce did not stare down his receiver here. The boundary secondary player had his back to Bryce the entirety of the throw. It is a comeback throw to a one on one situation and that is not a moment where a corner is going to get their eyes in the backfield since the player at and up the boundary. Staring down a reciever mainly pertains to when a player not on assignment breaks on the route and causing a break up or turnover. This play would not likely be in your highlight video if the refs called the DPI correctly. Hope this helps you

As bad as Bryce Supporting cast was I saw a lot flaws in Bryce game. But he developed a lot of those flaws as the year went on.

Bryce needs to play fast. Get the ball out in 3 secs or less. Hes not built for the vertical game. Hes gotta dart you up to be successful.

it'd probs help to also show game context as on a few of these where you criticise him not taking the easy throw is it third and long so hes looking further down the field? I remember the kicker got injured this game so they were going for it on 4th down so why would he throw short of the sticks? It might provide some context as to his progression or why hes not taking the easy throw straight away

First 6-8 games are make or break for #9 - this is the NFL where everyone is a 5 star not the sec -

This was good bro keep it going

I have to wonder if at this point Bryce has not gotten the same problem that David Carr had here in Houston? He does not trust his offensive line or his receivers and so he often forgets his mechanics. He has not taken the beating that David did but still it looks like he is looking at the rush and not keeping his eyes downfield. It is my hope that I am wrong because I hate seeing a promising young man have his confidence shattered the way David did. I think David still has the record for being sacked the most of any quarterback in NFL history. Great analysis.

I still think the Panthers were crazy for not taking a late round QB. You almost have to after seeing Bryce. The 49ers did it and got Purdy. The packers did it but Love developed and Sean Clifford can be a back up. The dolphins did it with Skylar Thompson and Tua developed. The jets could’ve easily did it but they let Zach sink the whole ship. I think Bryce is better than that but not having an insurance policy is wild

Hey Alex, you noted that the velocity on some of Bryce's throws are questionable. Do you think Bryce can get stronger?

5:25 Number 26 was on a blitz. They were in a zone defense. If somebody mirrors Mingo and follows him to the other side that indicates man coverage.

The screen pass that gets blown up was not a panic thing IMO. It looks to me like he’s trying to sell his typical drop back for a pass down field before quickly throwing the screen. Now, if does a more modern drop back (perpendicular to the line of scrimmage) he would be already triggered and he wouldn’t have to rush the pass as much.

Boom, great video this! Who you breaking down next??

At 11:07 It's Illegal for a Receiver to Block a Defender while the Ball is in the Air. They can only block after it's caught, if someone is running, or somewhat intervene the path of defender without Physically Blocking. Refs would've Called "Offensive Pass Interference". Hope Coaching is better this Next Season 😔😔😔😔😔😔

Great breakdown. Who’s next?

This content style will be better when you have done enough of it, that you don't have to explain that you are trying to standout from the "Shouting heads".. Keep it coming and I hope your channel and content continue to grow.

Good job brother u made 2 valuable points on why bryce is a bad pro qb his lack of confidence in his arm, staring down wr, and holding the ball to long in clean pockets great work brother!!!

Around 15:15 you mentioned that he should throw the ball but nun of his WR heads are turned around. Even Adam Thielen didn’t turn his head until he passed the middle hashes. Like you expect him to throw the ball to a WR that’s not looking? Even when you zoom in that play you can clearly see Adam isn’t looking instead focusing to get his slow self into his spot.

Wish you would’ve included film from multiple games. Scrutinizing his worst game is easy and I get it but let’s see some break downs in a middle ground game and a great game.

fantastic work keep going son

Wasn’t a fan of Bryce would have drafted CJ

I don’t think it’s the fact he didn’t trust himself. I think he didn’t trust his WRs his offensive line or the play calling. Idk how anyone would have been successful in what we ran last season.

7:53 if he throws that ball it is going back for 6. An eagles defender is crashing on that route.

No one could’ve done well in the system last year, not even CJ Stroud.

Sorry for all the comments. Good video, just sharing what I was seeing. Have you checked out QB School? He does some of the breakdowns that you want more of as well.

They started to break Bryce Young once he realized he wasn’t gonna get more than 1.5 seconds to throw the ball 3/4 of the time. Really upsetting to see such a great brilliant talent lose his cool and confidence because of a rookie season like this. Hopefully this gets patched up this season.

Good breakdown. So far, Bryce Young has a been a major dissappointment. It looks like he is too small, too weak, too indecisive and not smart enough to make it in the NFL. Terrible pick for Carolina. I believe both Drake Maye and JJ Mccarthy could flop in the same way, but because of bad footwork and inaccuracy as well as poor decision making. You should do this kind of breakdown on Penix, the best passer in CFB in 2023. Also Jayden Daniels.

It’s hard for Bryce to wanna throw when his only productive wr was theilen n honestly bringing in Johnson who drops a lot of balls worries me

When u trade 3 1st rpubds puck pkus mchaffert and fj moore for bryce young, then he got to carry the team. He catn carry a book bog

It’s a shame my fan base kills Bryce. He literally had 💩 to work with last year.

The play at 14:52, you need to do a better job of reading the clues to understand what is really happening. He couldn’t just throw 1. Because he is not in the position to throw it (he is parallel to the line of scrimmage. And 2. He’s not looking in that direction (follow the helmet stripes…That play is part on Bryce (footwork) and structure of the play. If it was going to be a one step and throw route his footwork would have been quicker (something he has to work on in general)

Respectfully, you underestimate the speed of the game. Many of the plays you’re saying are open, are in fact not. In the interest of fairness, you made a bunch of great points. I for one appreciate the unbiased opinions.

7:21 For this pocket to be clean, Iggy is already beat. Now I admit that the ball should’ve been out by now, but that damn near free rusher is in the way of the flight of the ball and could’ve knocked it down.

Probably one of his worst games all season weird

15:50 does he notice that Thielen is not even looking at Bryce! You can’t throw the ball if the Robert receiver isn’t looking

18:50 Bryce throws that pass the safety intercepting that pass 90% of the time what are you talking about?

Bruce could see on the play when the guy is running a slant. The WR isn’t looking for the ball though. It would be different if he flashed his face or anything like that but he’s still digging trying to finish the route. Also if this wasn’t about trying make Bryce look bad why are you doing this on one of his worst games of the year. Why not break down the packers game that they just ran out of time on

Ppl that know what they’re looking at when they watch football can easily see Young is going to be just fine

Excellent film study. Please do Daniel Jones 🙏🏻

Stephen A catching a stray 😩😭

You asked for feedback so that’s why it’s my 3rd post…At 16:25 Bryce’s footwork can be better, but it’s not the problem. I see a QB throwing with anticipation and Ian Thomas not running his route like he is getting the ball. Look at when Bryce starts throwing (16:28) if Ian Thomas runs the route the way a good player should the pass looks more accurate.

Good job

Bryce young is the issue

As a panthers fan i cant stress enough that DJ Chark is not a good receiver

soooo you said his 2023 game tape is bad based on one game alone? even lookin at the score it was 26-0 you should’ve watched a more even game that showed more of his qualities while also showing miscues and misfires. the green bay game.

Man, so ALOT of these plays was Bryce needs to throw BUT this guy and this guy and this guy didn’t seem to know the play . Man , Bryce was just put in such a bad spot last year

Okay that play was awful, and the way Bryce just continued to run off of the field looks as though he was done with playing for that series. Now I remember at the time wanting him to run for the first down because Hubbard does have a pair of stone hands, and as he got too close to Hubbard he could’ve gone downfield since the corner did come up.

12:53 There is a difference in no longer believing in yourself and not trusting your offensive line, which he had no reason to. Also a little bit earlier you went off on Bryce for a lack of composure on a wide receiver screen play that was blown up as though Bryce didn’t allow the play to develop before throwing the ball. But it was blown up because of an unblocked defender. You did admit that later, but Bryce had nothing to do with the failure of that play.

We won 2 games thank you very much 😂

And keep this up, although I didn’t agree much with you I would like to see more of it. Also let that play against the Bucs finish to show Chark fumble a touchdown away at the 1 yard line, because I feel he started showboating.

Wow. Bryce is bad. Might be the biggest draft bust in Panther history.

Appreciate u saying u don’t know anything abt football because some of ur tales are HORRIBLE.

You were frustrated with Bryce, I think all trust in his protection was gone, and I ended this video more frustrated with the receiving corps or the receivers coach. You showed guys possibly quitting on routes, poor spacing on routes, dropped passes, guys falling down on routes, a lack of blocking (so either Chark didn’t know the play or didn’t know what he was supposed to do on the play).

4-13😂😂😂

Bryce Young was a bust last year and will continue to be a bust this year.

I need you to watch a few more seasons before you start breaking down QB play alone. This is QB play in the NFL. Crawl before you walk.

I was at Jaguars game and 1st game of the season Bryce Young is trash 🗑 🚮 gtfoh 😂😅
