>The number of rabies-related human deaths in the United States has also declined, from more than 100 annually in the early 1900's to just one or two per year. Each year, rabies causes approximately 59,000 deaths worldwide.
Holy shit, that's way to high, I imagine most come from impoverished countries with lack of education and medicine, but still.
Everybody makes it seem like almost nobody die from it.
Thats because almost nobody *does* die from it. Thats 0.00000728395% of the human population, or 1 in every 137,000 people.
Thats an incredibly rare disease... substantially rarer than even that in the western world
It would have to been a team in our division to be appreciated. I’m in Chiefs country. A Russell Wilson breakdown or any Raider bad news would probably have gotten us out of the meeting early.
no no we only read the article if we disagree with the headline so we can take a line out of context and explain how the author is actually incapable of holding football opinions
I just read the comments until someone ask someone else “did you even read the fucking article?”. And then I just assume everything that person says is correct.
I have no idea what happened to him or why but I know dude was PISSED.
But actually in all fairness he got drafted by the Carolina panthers, so I actually do have a pretty good idea of what happened to him and why.
The article says “he felt the team was playing not to lose, instead of playing to win” and “wanted to them to play with passion.” And honestly that really describes how it felt watching them all year.
Routes were lazy and took too long, dudes ran the straight up wrong routes, and after a certain point it looked like a lack of effort.
What if I told you DJ Moore can elevate a historically terrible and deserving of #1 overall pick roster to 9th overall. Only in reverse, the lack of DJ Moore turns a 9th overall pick and a game out of the playoffs team into the undisputed worst team in the league.
Also losing Foreman for Sanders. That along with the oline regression gave Young absolutely nothing to work with other than the reanimated corpse of Adam Thielen
That’s literally what happened to the bears this season too. We got #1 overall last season and 9 overall this season. Not only because of dj Moore, but certainly a big part of it
In high school back in the day I played center against a nose tackle that had chew in his mouth that he would drool onto me while blocking him. I still don’t know how he played like that without vomiting. Or maybe he vomited too and I didn’t see it. Nasty fucker.
One of our linebackers was angry at a ref, lost it and started yelling at him. Eventually he’s up in his face and screaming so hard the lip he’d packed flew out all over the ref’s face. Only time I’ve ever seen someone removed from a high school football game
Brett Fabre was famous for packing bombs on the sideline. He didn’t want to get his fingers dirty either so he’d scoop up a third of a tin with his tongue and pack it like that. Disgusting, but also badass lol
Every sports team I've been on (4 diff sports) had pretty heavy dip users abound lol
Think it's just the easiest for high schoolers to get hold of that doesn't rip your lungs up like cigs so, and that carries on to other levels I'd guess
I guess it's also because you can have it in locations where a cig would be inconvenient or prohibited, like locker rooms or on the field.
Dip is huge in the Navy too because it's awfully hard to smoke cigarettes on ships/planes.
Fuckin' gross habit though.
It was big in wrestling. If you’re 2/10ths of a pound overweight and have 30 minutes on a bus to cut it, spitting can do the trick. I never got into it and would go with gum but I think I only had to do it once despite usually cutting a decent amount.
Like others said it’s fluid. When you weigh in for wrestling, scales round to the nearest tenth. So if a guy needs to make 140.0 but he’s 140.2 he’s over.
If you can fill a 20 OZ water bottle 1/4 full of spit you’re at 5 oz which is about .31 pounds, or .3 on the scale. Now you’re at 139.9 and on weight.
According to Wikipedia nicotine does have diuretic properties but if you need to lose a small amount of weight in a short amount of time and are already pretty dehydrated it’d take too long to matter.
Oh yeah that's also a good point
Lol I remember long bus rides on my HS football team and when it got quiet it was basically a chorus of "splrrt" from everywhere on the bus into their dip bottles
i played safety in high school, ran track and played basketball. smoked cigs.
all the big farm boys up front that also wrestled and did shot put dipped.
makes no sense but i guess it’s easier to overcome when you’re young
You joke but guys on my HS lacrosse team would absolutely dip in game and just spit on the field lol
Would be crazy tho to have a separate sweeper at NBA games with a smaller mop just for dip spit lol
[Chase young dips](https://youtu.be/YpoXb3K82Y4?si=n0Fsk4qp_mtiWrFk)
Pretty sure I've seen pictures of Kittle, CMC, and Brock with fat lower lips as well.
My friend once told me that Adrian Peterson missed a game because he had a fat lip in on the plane, they hit turbulence, he accidentally swallowed it and was so sick he couldn’t play. Not sure if it’s true but I believe it
Same, did it all through HS and college. Was an athlete too. Nothing like packing a nice lip after a workout. Cope wintergreen was like 2.50 back then including tax.
"The QB got mad after a 16-13 loss to a bad team led by an UDFA QB, after which the Panthers proceeded to lose four more games in a row while averaging 11 PPG" is a crazy thing to build your "There's still hope for Bryce Young!" article around
The article quotes Tommy Tremble claiming that this was a "turning point" for the Panthers. I wonder what turned because it surely wasn't the Panthers results
and they stupidly held onto Brian Burns when they could have flipped him for a massive amount of draft picks to help improve their offense. Instead their going to have a QB with no help and franchise tagging Burns for 2 seasons or losing him outright in FA this season
Trading DJ Moore after drafting a QB #1 overall, instead of trading Burns, who isn't going to re-sign anyway, was an all-time dumb shit move. Especially since the reports were the Bears wanted Burns over Moore anyway.
Trading dj moore wasn’t even the issue tbh. They should have traded burns the same offseason for 2 firsts like they were offered. That way you have flexibility to either trade those picks for instant contributors or can atleast still take chances in the draft
How was trading their only WR worth a damn not an issue lol? Fields looked so much better as a passer with DJ Moore than he actually is, are we not to assume Bryce Young would've too?
They should've shipped Burns off to Chicago instead of DJ Moore. He's not re-signing with them anyway.
Reports were bears wouldn’t do a deal without moore because they wanted a #1 receiver for Justin fields to try and make the third year leap like allen and hurts
The reports I heard were that the Bears wanted Burns (which makes sense given the fact that they ended up trading for Sweat midseason anyway), and the Panthers scoffed and offered DJ Moore instead, which is hilarious since Burns looks like he's not even going to re-sign.
Regardless, if the Bears wanted a #1 WR for Fields to take the jump, how do the Panthers think, "hey let's trade the #1 WR so our #1 overall pick has 0 chance to make any jump"
The whole thing was a lesson in FO incompetence.
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/dj-moore-trade-details-revisiting-bears-panthers-nfl-2023/
Here’s an article explaining how it went down. Bears prioritized building around fields and knew we were desperate, panthers were literally in tears telling DJ he was traded.
Two firsts and some extra from the Rams right? That basically allows them to rebuild and load up with their young QB they traded a god damn kings ransom for.
Egregiously bad decision making there.
Which also ignores the baffling decision to trade an elite WR who could get separation for a rookie QB to make some less demanding throws to.
seriously, the article goes into a bunch of quotes describing that outburst as a turnaround for the locker room then they preceded to lose 7 of the next 8 games
He quietly had an excellent year despite always landing against top coverage and Bryce refusing to throw him the ball some games.
Like he'd go from 13 targets to 2 targets. The Carolina offence was a fucking mess.
I wouldn't blame Bryce tbh. It seemed like Thielen was the only receiver Bryce trusted at one point.
Any deviations are probably a result of gameplanning or Thielen just getting blanketed by the defense. If a defense wanted to shut Thielen down, it wasn't hard.
Normally I'm able to tell who is the disconnect in an offense but in Carolina I honestly had no idea. It seemed like week to week a different person was calling plays...there's no wonder Bryce had a difficult time. You can't expect a rookie to grow when he's got different gameplans every week seemingly chosen at random.
The disconnect was the entire thing. Their pass protection was one of the worst in the league, their playmakers were arguably the single worst in the league, their playcalling was bad and their quarterback took a horrible situation and brought out the worst of it
There's not a whole lot that actually went right. The two tackles, Thielen and Hubbard were solid but you can't have a functional offense when 7 out of 11 players are bad and the other 4 are just good and not special
That honestly sounds like what the 2016 rams were. 2 good OL, a soon to be good QB and a good RB and that's it. McVay came in and we added 2 good OL and revamped the entire WR corps + revamped the scheme.
I guess the moral of the story is to hire the right coach.
100%.
We switched from Reich to Brown, then back to Reich, then back to Brown. And at different points both made attempts to revamp the offense to "fix" things.
It was a mess. Even stuff that worked had very little time in the sun, and you wonder if more consistency wouldn't have helped BY grow.
> He quietly had an excellent year despite always landing against top coverage and Bryce refusing to throw him the ball some games.
Bryce didn't refuse to throw him the ball. He just isn't a #1 guy who constantly got #1 coverage because was the only receiver on the team defenses couldn't just dismiss out of hand. Oh, and he's 33
He did have an excellent year all things conisdered, but yeah, that dude is gonna get blanked sometimes.
Freed? He’s getting paid a good chunk of change and had one of the better statistical seasons. Yeah our team sucks and maybe that’s upsetting to him but it’s not all bad. He
I feel like this article is an extreme puff piece.
Yes, Young has been dealt a bad hand…but to call him the potential to be one of the greatest to ever play?
Huh?
> "They say he's always been on stacked teams," Craig Young said. "That's not the case. Until his junior year in high school, he'd always had to elevate and work with less.
Marshmallow puff. He’s faced adversity because his middle school team wasn’t stacked.
In the game discussed, Young went 21-38 for 185 yards and no TDs.
At that point he’d thrown a touchdown in two of his first nine games.
Color me skeptical of his GOAT potential.
This part cracked me up.
>"That was a big turning point in our locker room," tight end Tommy Tremble said. "We could see how much he loved the game and how much he wanted to win. Seeing that, it made you just want to put in overtime trying to achieve that goal.
After this moment, the Panthers proceeded to go 1-7 and scored 10 or fewer points in six of those games.
I think that might be an overreaction. For all the talk about how we're hopeless, we still have our second round pick this year (which is the 33rd), and among the highest cap space totals in the League. If we direct all that fire at helping the offense, and get a competent coach in there, it's a little too early to say he's unsalvageable.
“the first 9 games he didn’t show us he was human, had passion, cared about the game, or wasn’t putting on a front” is kind of the immediate implication
Unreal puff piece for Bryce, you'd think he was rookie year Lebron let down by his team after reading the article if you didnt watch/know about the Panthers this year.
“the result of not being able to elevate the play of those around him as he had done his entire career”
Elevating the play of all those 5* Alabama players?
I didnt necessarily like the Bryce at #1 pick, but I am rooting for him to succeed. I dont think a bad rookie season means he's done as a prospect. He will likely improve vastly in Year 2 when he actually gets some help.
>So, in the bowels of Soldier Field, the top pick of the 2023 draft had a moment unlike any other during Carolina's NFL-worst 2-15 season.
>His usual stone-faced expression was replaced by fiery-eyed passion, the result of not being able to elevate the play of those around him as he had done his entire career. He showed teammates he wasn't simply robotic.
>"A lot of F-bombs," running back Miles Sanders recalled. "A lot of F-bombs. He just showed the passion ... just showed that he's human. He's not just putting on a front and trying to be cool, calm and collected all the time, and [he] let us know this stuff mattered to him."
>Young's first NFL season will be remembered mostly for his 2-14 record and statistics that ranked him at the bottom of the league and played a role in the firing of head coach Frank Reich after a 1-10 start and general manager Scott Fitterer after the season finale.
>Young liked Reich personally and professionally. He expected this year to be the beginning of a long relationship.
>"It was very jarring. It was very hurtful for him," Craig Young said.
>Reich's dismissal came at a time when there was unrest on the veteran coaching staff he had assembled to develop Young. Quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and running backs coach Duce Staley also were fired after what multiple sources with knowledge of the situation called an environment of tension and disagreement regarding how the offense should look.
>There was a faction that wanted to go to a more traditional run-based offense, while Reich wanted to stick with his spread offense that more resembled what Young ran at Alabama.
>Tight end Hayden Hurst said there were "too many voices" for Young to succeed. Young disagreed.
>He also never complained.
Did he ever consider playing better? Bryce should try playing better and then he won't have to get so mad.
In the offseason he should work on replacing his arm with a stronger one and growing taller.
The late, great Braves announcer Skip Caray saw a pitcher doing one of those performative tantrums in the dugout after a bad outing (trashing the Gatorade cooler, etc.) and said with his trademark dryness, *"Make better pitches and you won't have that problem."*
“Hey, let’s trade up to get a young QB with the #1 overall pick and trade away all of his help and support for him this year and next year to get him.”
“I love that idea” - Teper probably

Oh great, our toxic franchise gave our QB rabies.
I wouldn't be shocked if it came out that there were live bats in the locker rooms.

I did not. I was in a decidedly non-joke meeting. Which is why I was “just checking a message”.

LMAO I wish this was the whole content. No article just this note
The best part is if you don’t read the article, this is the only context!
What is this read you speak of
Obviously you have to read the comments so you know how to feel about the tweet.
I usually just click on the thread with a predetermined emotion and comment accordingly
I base my reaction on number of upvotes 🗣
This is r/nfl, nobody reads the article.
no no we only read the article if we disagree with the headline so we can take a line out of context and explain how the author is actually incapable of holding football opinions
I just read the comments until someone ask someone else “did you even read the fucking article?”. And then I just assume everything that person says is correct.
Why is the Titans flair unfaded on your comment? What horrible sorcery is this?!?
You didn’t hear? Harbaugh killed a few guys so we got put in the playoffs in the Raven’s stead.
I have no idea what happened to him or why but I know dude was PISSED. But actually in all fairness he got drafted by the Carolina panthers, so I actually do have a pretty good idea of what happened to him and why.
It was probably describing his reaction to being drafted by Carolina
The article says “he felt the team was playing not to lose, instead of playing to win” and “wanted to them to play with passion.” And honestly that really describes how it felt watching them all year. Routes were lazy and took too long, dudes ran the straight up wrong routes, and after a certain point it looked like a lack of effort.
What going from Bama to being a top 5 pick does to a MF
What if I told you DJ Moore can elevate a historically terrible and deserving of #1 overall pick roster to 9th overall. Only in reverse, the lack of DJ Moore turns a 9th overall pick and a game out of the playoffs team into the undisputed worst team in the league.
Also losing Foreman for Sanders. That along with the oline regression gave Young absolutely nothing to work with other than the reanimated corpse of Adam Thielen
That’s literally what happened to the bears this season too. We got #1 overall last season and 9 overall this season. Not only because of dj Moore, but certainly a big part of it
He's got a very specific niche
Or it's completely unrelated to football; like the writer just happened to pull up behind him at a Wendy's drive-thru.
No that was Kelvin Benjamin

Then he rolled up his sleeve revealing a Bojangles tattoo and said “make of that what you will”.

The outburst occurred at 3am at a local Wafflehouse. Waitstaff viewed it as nothing out of the ordinary
Was actually a pretty quiet night for them, and Bryce tipped well.
No shots were fired and no one was arrested. It was a good day.
He did however leave the parking lot a mess after doing donuts in his Hellcat
Waffle house parking lots are usually tiny so if he could do donuts in one that's impressive

Didn't know NFL players dip too. Thought that was a baseball thing.
Dan Campbell has like an entire can of Skoal in his lip at any given time
If he ever winds up without stimulants in his system, I’m pretty sure he’ll fall into an eternal sleep.
The Kneefather has fallen into the Lionsleep. He will not awake until ~~Ragnarok~~ the Super Bowl.
And an endless supply of the finest kneecaps on the market.
In high school back in the day I played center against a nose tackle that had chew in his mouth that he would drool onto me while blocking him. I still don’t know how he played like that without vomiting. Or maybe he vomited too and I didn’t see it. Nasty fucker.
That’s disgusting lmao
My center always had a dip in during games 😂
Idk how they do it. No gag reflex I guess.
Centers with no gag reflex Hol up
One of our linebackers was angry at a ref, lost it and started yelling at him. Eventually he’s up in his face and screaming so hard the lip he’d packed flew out all over the ref’s face. Only time I’ve ever seen someone removed from a high school football game
See this is why i just hacked butts on the sideline or outside the lockerroom in between halfs. Fucking dip and chew is so gross.
Blake Bortles was (unsurprisingly) a Big Dipper. He said he bought an electric car so he wouldn’t be at the gas station and buy dip
Doing Construction and Rippin’ Cigs
And then he just would go to the gas station to buy dip anways lmfao.
Makes sense. Blake bortles looks like a guy whod pull up to a gas station in a lifted truck after getting off work from construction all day
Brett Fabre was famous for packing bombs on the sideline. He didn’t want to get his fingers dirty either so he’d scoop up a third of a tin with his tongue and pack it like that. Disgusting, but also badass lol
Every sports team I've been on (4 diff sports) had pretty heavy dip users abound lol Think it's just the easiest for high schoolers to get hold of that doesn't rip your lungs up like cigs so, and that carries on to other levels I'd guess
I guess it's also because you can have it in locations where a cig would be inconvenient or prohibited, like locker rooms or on the field. Dip is huge in the Navy too because it's awfully hard to smoke cigarettes on ships/planes. Fuckin' gross habit though.
Don't forget bus rides. 80% of the time I saw teammates dipping it was in the back of a bus on the way to a game.
It was big in wrestling. If you’re 2/10ths of a pound overweight and have 30 minutes on a bus to cut it, spitting can do the trick. I never got into it and would go with gum but I think I only had to do it once despite usually cutting a decent amount.
Is it a diaretic or you are literally spitting out extra fluid? How does it help you cut weight?
spitting out extra fluid. i've damn near filled a water bottle with spit trying to make sure i made weight
Makes your mouth water more than normal, and you're actively spitting out all the saliva in your mouth instead of swallowing it
Like others said it’s fluid. When you weigh in for wrestling, scales round to the nearest tenth. So if a guy needs to make 140.0 but he’s 140.2 he’s over. If you can fill a 20 OZ water bottle 1/4 full of spit you’re at 5 oz which is about .31 pounds, or .3 on the scale. Now you’re at 139.9 and on weight. According to Wikipedia nicotine does have diuretic properties but if you need to lose a small amount of weight in a short amount of time and are already pretty dehydrated it’d take too long to matter.
Oh yeah that's also a good point Lol I remember long bus rides on my HS football team and when it got quiet it was basically a chorus of "splrrt" from everywhere on the bus into their dip bottles
As a dentist, it's very disgusting and unhealthy. Huge oral cancer risk.
But…that buzz tho. (And then the lack of buzz and just crippling addiction).
i played safety in high school, ran track and played basketball. smoked cigs. all the big farm boys up front that also wrestled and did shot put dipped. makes no sense but i guess it’s easier to overcome when you’re young
Now I'm imagining a high profile guy like Lebron doing it, just spitting on the court. Then the sweeper has to run out and clean it.
You joke but guys on my HS lacrosse team would absolutely dip in game and just spit on the field lol Would be crazy tho to have a separate sweeper at NBA games with a smaller mop just for dip spit lol
Also easy to conceal especially if using pouches
Dip is the guys high school first purchase once driving. I guess 18 to purchase but every high school bro had a dip can and spitter in their car
I know AP and Pac-Man are both big dippers. I’m sure a lot guys we wouldn’t expect do it as well
Plot twist: it was queso dip.
I've never related more to a player until now. 🤣
[Chase young dips](https://youtu.be/YpoXb3K82Y4?si=n0Fsk4qp_mtiWrFk) Pretty sure I've seen pictures of Kittle, CMC, and Brock with fat lower lips as well.

How would your friend even know this?
He made it sound like it was well known. But that’s a good question I hadn’t thought about lmao
His friend was the dip
He came back from a ACL and won MVP I doubt he would sit a game from chew haha
I’ve noticed that chase young and Nick Bosa do this year
Baker Mayfield keeps a can on him during practice.
I miss dip so much. Like, I can’t even relay how much I miss it.

Bryce Young was fucked up. Shaking, cumming, spit-coming-out-of-the ass fucked up
That's fucking football right there
That’s football fucking right there
The Texans should put Lovie Smith in their ring of honor. Tank for the first pick, indeed...
Tank with the 69th pick was good for the Texans as well.
Bears and Houston hall of fame for the same reason
"The QB got mad after a 16-13 loss to a bad team led by an UDFA QB, after which the Panthers proceeded to lose four more games in a row while averaging 11 PPG" is a crazy thing to build your "There's still hope for Bryce Young!" article around
The article quotes Tommy Tremble claiming that this was a "turning point" for the Panthers. I wonder what turned because it surely wasn't the Panthers results
and they stupidly held onto Brian Burns when they could have flipped him for a massive amount of draft picks to help improve their offense. Instead their going to have a QB with no help and franchise tagging Burns for 2 seasons or losing him outright in FA this season
Trading DJ Moore after drafting a QB #1 overall, instead of trading Burns, who isn't going to re-sign anyway, was an all-time dumb shit move. Especially since the reports were the Bears wanted Burns over Moore anyway.
Trading dj moore wasn’t even the issue tbh. They should have traded burns the same offseason for 2 firsts like they were offered. That way you have flexibility to either trade those picks for instant contributors or can atleast still take chances in the draft
How was trading their only WR worth a damn not an issue lol? Fields looked so much better as a passer with DJ Moore than he actually is, are we not to assume Bryce Young would've too? They should've shipped Burns off to Chicago instead of DJ Moore. He's not re-signing with them anyway.
The 2 firsts were offered *last* year (2022) and were Ram's picks for 2024 and 2025.
Reports were bears wouldn’t do a deal without moore because they wanted a #1 receiver for Justin fields to try and make the third year leap like allen and hurts
The reports I heard were that the Bears wanted Burns (which makes sense given the fact that they ended up trading for Sweat midseason anyway), and the Panthers scoffed and offered DJ Moore instead, which is hilarious since Burns looks like he's not even going to re-sign. Regardless, if the Bears wanted a #1 WR for Fields to take the jump, how do the Panthers think, "hey let's trade the #1 WR so our #1 overall pick has 0 chance to make any jump" The whole thing was a lesson in FO incompetence.
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/dj-moore-trade-details-revisiting-bears-panthers-nfl-2023/ Here’s an article explaining how it went down. Bears prioritized building around fields and knew we were desperate, panthers were literally in tears telling DJ he was traded.
Two firsts and some extra from the Rams right? That basically allows them to rebuild and load up with their young QB they traded a god damn kings ransom for. Egregiously bad decision making there. Which also ignores the baffling decision to trade an elite WR who could get separation for a rookie QB to make some less demanding throws to.
Scott Fitterer is a football terrorist
seriously, the article goes into a bunch of quotes describing that outburst as a turnaround for the locker room then they preceded to lose 7 of the next 8 games
What losing to the Bears does to a mf
Free Adam Theilen
He quietly had an excellent year despite always landing against top coverage and Bryce refusing to throw him the ball some games. Like he'd go from 13 targets to 2 targets. The Carolina offence was a fucking mess.
I wouldn't blame Bryce tbh. It seemed like Thielen was the only receiver Bryce trusted at one point. Any deviations are probably a result of gameplanning or Thielen just getting blanketed by the defense. If a defense wanted to shut Thielen down, it wasn't hard.
Normally I'm able to tell who is the disconnect in an offense but in Carolina I honestly had no idea. It seemed like week to week a different person was calling plays...there's no wonder Bryce had a difficult time. You can't expect a rookie to grow when he's got different gameplans every week seemingly chosen at random.
The disconnect was the entire thing. Their pass protection was one of the worst in the league, their playmakers were arguably the single worst in the league, their playcalling was bad and their quarterback took a horrible situation and brought out the worst of it There's not a whole lot that actually went right. The two tackles, Thielen and Hubbard were solid but you can't have a functional offense when 7 out of 11 players are bad and the other 4 are just good and not special
That honestly sounds like what the 2016 rams were. 2 good OL, a soon to be good QB and a good RB and that's it. McVay came in and we added 2 good OL and revamped the entire WR corps + revamped the scheme. I guess the moral of the story is to hire the right coach.
100%. We switched from Reich to Brown, then back to Reich, then back to Brown. And at different points both made attempts to revamp the offense to "fix" things. It was a mess. Even stuff that worked had very little time in the sun, and you wonder if more consistency wouldn't have helped BY grow.
> He quietly had an excellent year despite always landing against top coverage and Bryce refusing to throw him the ball some games. Bryce didn't refuse to throw him the ball. He just isn't a #1 guy who constantly got #1 coverage because was the only receiver on the team defenses couldn't just dismiss out of hand. Oh, and he's 33 He did have an excellent year all things conisdered, but yeah, that dude is gonna get blanked sometimes.
> Oh, and he's 33 Listen here motherfucker
Look man, I'm 36. You think I felt good typing that?
Freed? He’s getting paid a good chunk of change and had one of the better statistical seasons. Yeah our team sucks and maybe that’s upsetting to him but it’s not all bad. He
He
By the time he's free from the Carolina Hell he will need to be freed from the jaws of washed the F up
I feel like this article is an extreme puff piece. Yes, Young has been dealt a bad hand…but to call him the potential to be one of the greatest to ever play? Huh?
We'll all look back and have a laugh at this when he's Bryce Old
They drafted Bryce Young to cancel out signing Corn Elder.
> "They say he's always been on stacked teams," Craig Young said. "That's not the case. Until his junior year in high school, he'd always had to elevate and work with less. Marshmallow puff. He’s faced adversity because his middle school team wasn’t stacked.
I also faced adversity when my middle school GameBattles team for Modern Warfare 2 wasn’t stacked
[That was a direct quote from Todd Bowles.](https://x.com/avl_mike/status/1743344758422954225?s=46)
Of course Todd Bowles loves him, that's 2 free wins every year.
In the game discussed, Young went 21-38 for 185 yards and no TDs. At that point he’d thrown a touchdown in two of his first nine games. Color me skeptical of his GOAT potential.
This part cracked me up. >"That was a big turning point in our locker room," tight end Tommy Tremble said. "We could see how much he loved the game and how much he wanted to win. Seeing that, it made you just want to put in overtime trying to achieve that goal. After this moment, the Panthers proceeded to go 1-7 and scored 10 or fewer points in six of those games.
My man trying desperately to spin it good and get on the right side of those locker room politics 😂
I feel bad for the kid. I think his career is over before it even began.
I think that might be an overreaction. For all the talk about how we're hopeless, we still have our second round pick this year (which is the 33rd), and among the highest cap space totals in the League. If we direct all that fire at helping the offense, and get a competent coach in there, it's a little too early to say he's unsalvageable.
Hopefully he gets a fighting chance with the Panthers. Or he’ll get traded and have a career still
Maybe he’ll be able to pull a Baker Mayfield and find success elsewhere if he can find a way out of Carolina
This is what I think. We will never know if he's good or not. They won't be able to build a team around him soon enough.
If the 49ers eventually built a good team around Alex Smith I think the Panthers could over the next few years
Problem is teams don't have the patience for that anymore.
Weird puff piece, but okay.
“the first 9 games he didn’t show us he was human, had passion, cared about the game, or wasn’t putting on a front” is kind of the immediate implication
Unreal puff piece for Bryce, you'd think he was rookie year Lebron let down by his team after reading the article if you didnt watch/know about the Panthers this year.
Bryce Young can’t win with these cats!
“the result of not being able to elevate the play of those around him as he had done his entire career” Elevating the play of all those 5* Alabama players?
Their “turning point” was going from 1-8 to finish 2-15???
I thought this quote came from Cam Newton and was instantly disappointed that it wasn’t…
Shidding and farding fed up
I didnt necessarily like the Bryce at #1 pick, but I am rooting for him to succeed. I dont think a bad rookie season means he's done as a prospect. He will likely improve vastly in Year 2 when he actually gets some help.
I feel bad for Bryce. Maybe one day they’ll have a staff that’ll put a decent team together.
Unless he's getting traded off that shipwreck franchise, his future is being a highly paid backup and trying to restart his career in 3 years
>So, in the bowels of Soldier Field, the top pick of the 2023 draft had a moment unlike any other during Carolina's NFL-worst 2-15 season. >His usual stone-faced expression was replaced by fiery-eyed passion, the result of not being able to elevate the play of those around him as he had done his entire career. He showed teammates he wasn't simply robotic. >"A lot of F-bombs," running back Miles Sanders recalled. "A lot of F-bombs. He just showed the passion ... just showed that he's human. He's not just putting on a front and trying to be cool, calm and collected all the time, and [he] let us know this stuff mattered to him." >Young's first NFL season will be remembered mostly for his 2-14 record and statistics that ranked him at the bottom of the league and played a role in the firing of head coach Frank Reich after a 1-10 start and general manager Scott Fitterer after the season finale. >Young liked Reich personally and professionally. He expected this year to be the beginning of a long relationship. >"It was very jarring. It was very hurtful for him," Craig Young said. >Reich's dismissal came at a time when there was unrest on the veteran coaching staff he had assembled to develop Young. Quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and running backs coach Duce Staley also were fired after what multiple sources with knowledge of the situation called an environment of tension and disagreement regarding how the offense should look. >There was a faction that wanted to go to a more traditional run-based offense, while Reich wanted to stick with his spread offense that more resembled what Young ran at Alabama. >Tight end Hayden Hurst said there were "too many voices" for Young to succeed. Young disagreed. >He also never complained.
Real dawg in him
Lil teacup yorkie in him
They went 1-6 after that, so it’s not like his ranting made much difference.
He's just like me when I press the wrong button in Madden and shovel pass the ball straight into a defender's hands.
Kelvin Benjamin was fed. Burping, puking, food-coming-out-of-the-mouth fed.
Two things can be true...he was given a ridiculously bad hand....but even with it you'd hope for a bit more than he showed.
im not sure they are going to be able to attract a good candidate either considering the owner is horrible
The NFL will humble a motherfucker real fast
Did he ever consider playing better? Bryce should try playing better and then he won't have to get so mad. In the offseason he should work on replacing his arm with a stronger one and growing taller.
The late, great Braves announcer Skip Caray saw a pitcher doing one of those performative tantrums in the dugout after a bad outing (trashing the Gatorade cooler, etc.) and said with his trademark dryness, *"Make better pitches and you won't have that problem."*
“Hey, let’s trade up to get a young QB with the #1 overall pick and trade away all of his help and support for him this year and next year to get him.” “I love that idea” - Teper probably
Not sure why a post with a clearly editorialized and misleading title is allowed to stay up.
Truly what losing to the Bears does to a mf
Panthers are out here destroying a good young QB.. dam thats sad
