Bryce Young looks like a completely different quarter after finding the starting station for the Panthers of Caroline. Basted earlier in the season, Young led the Panthers to victories on the New Orleans and New York giants before forming impressive losses for the Chiefs of Kansas City, the Eagles of Philadelphia and the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay.
Week 15 was a disappointment with an eruption defeat against Dallas Cowboys. Young was dismissed six times and launched two choices.
This game is however an aberrant value. Young’s bag level has dropped, it launches the ball more deeply (the air yards planned by attempt increased by 0.8), and it must throw the ball much less often.
Carolina was not a good situation for a recruit or a quarter of a second year. Yes, Young disappointed on the whole, but there are glimmer of hope for the panthers that he can become a quarter of franchise if they put it in a position to succeed.
The former panthers head coach, Ron Rivera, is certainly optimistic.
Addressing RG, Rivera said: “He plays with confidence, I think he has a better feeling, better manage for the offensive game book. You see him quickly following his progress. You see him taking the ball out of his hands …
“His release time is less than the average of the league, just about 2.85 seconds. It removes the ball faster, which is very beneficial, because when you take the ball from your hands, you do not take bags. These are also positive points. It has not been dismissed as much as in the past either.”
Bold coaching
Rivera was also full of praise for Dave Canales’ decision to conduct young people. Carolina worked to establish the race in the second pass of Young as a starter, which gave her a little more time to work in the pocket.
In small samples, Young was a considerable success during the game last season (7.40 yards per attempt). Canales is expected to experience the increase in the number of game calls in recent weeks.
Carolina has time to try things during the remaining games. A little over a month ago, Young looked like a historic bust. This is only a handful of matches, but he has shown enough to suggest that he could be a long-term response in the quarter-back if the panthers build the right attack around him.
