NFL LIVE | "All Eyes on Bryce Young's 2nd year!" - Swagu OVERHYPED Panthers to the NFC Championship!

making his preseason debut on Saturday uh the Panthers quarterback is coming off a rookie season though where oh this poor guy he was sacked 62 times many and his team only won two did you say 62 yeah here's Cam Jordan on him I mean what did they protect him with yeah that's what I was about you going into the season and knowing that you know they had um they had one tackle returning that they could rely on and the rest of them were like it was dub right so it's like he his life back no doubt it's something that he was he was not akin to you know like he's used to having the Alabama starting line which each one of them are going to go in the first two rounds do you think this year will be easier for him or absolutely uh I think they spent money on their offensive line this past year they T of money they're like what are you used to let's go get that obviously they're chatting with our very own Mina kimes um to Cam's Point Carolina overhauled their entire offense this year uh they hired Dave Canales as their head coach obviously he did a great job in Tampa also in Seattle the Panthers add protection for Bryce young Robert hunt Damen Lewis they get him some receivers Xavier Legette uh they trade for Deontay Johnson all right so you know they' made some changes some Talent there and this kid is already on his third head coach in his second season uh do you think swag GOI has a chance to make a big jump this year with some of the talent now that they put around him in a new head coach I do believe so Hannah I think if Bryce young showed phenomenal flashes last year when he had time to throw the damn football listen I don't care who you are I I was talking when I was going through notes before the show go look at Tom Braden when he's under pressure and duress that's the greatest we have to ever play this game it don't matter who you are if those guys up front can't protect you enough especially in your first year in the NFL when it's already going 1,000 m an hour when that ball snaps you have no shot at having success in this league Bryce has to clean some things up as well like all young quarterbacks do but I believe with the T and look this is no shade at Adam Thiel but we know Adam Thiel is not a number one wide receiv he's a really good piece that's going to be on this team with Deontay Johnson and uh Legette they G to do it by committee I think he's in a much better situation um to to make the understatement of the year when we go into the football season but the protection will be the key Bryce throws it well he's super accurate understands offense all of the things that made him the first round pick are still there now just give him time to be and show you that he's the first round pick yes swag good when I checked with people in Carolina here are the things they said that Bryce young has improved upon from last year he's had a cleaner operation like less free- snap penalties than they saw in last year's Camp he makes two to three wow throws most days he's been good off play action he's decisive he gets the ball and leads receivers and then really from what I've heard there have been no agendas right everything's going to run through the offensive minded head coach Dave Canales it's a young energetic staff there that they're trying to rebuild his confidence last year you had four or five different coaches sort of year and then you had two head coaches and then there the communication lines were not ideal now from what I've heard they're a lot better yeah really just being on the team and to help Bryce and uh to help him grow obviously it was a year of he had to handle a lot of adversity right there was a lot of things that were kind of stacked against him that uh that he had to try to overcome and had to handle and he's never had a season like that in his life was there a moment or throw or a game from last season that you can point to say that like Bryce is going to be okay and figure it out there was a game we played against the Packers we did not end up winning the game but you could tell he kind of took over in the game and was everything was flowing he was playing on time playing in Rhythm making big plays getting out of the pocket finding guys down on the field and it was a game like okay this is like shows what he can be if we kind of get everything around him built built the way it needs to building blocks especially for a Young quarterback is key confidence is key it's year one it's year yeah year better it's hard to feel worse Pablo I mean Bryce Young's rookie season was basically a case study in how to not set up a rookie quarterback for Success which isn't to say he was entirely blameless he didn't play well but he also played behind a bottom five offensive line throwing to a group of skill players comfortably you would rank in the bottom three I mean I I don't like to paint with too broad of a brush here but when your number one receiver is a peer of you and mine Adam feeling in this case that's generally not a good thing in football now the Panthers have as you alluded to taken steps to rectify this they did invest in the offensive line particularly at the guard position spent a ton of money there they traded for xav per me they traded for Deontay Johnson who's a great separator from the Steelers drafted Xavier Legette I think all of that will help I think Bryce young will play better I don't know if he will flourish and if they'll win a lot of games but this season isn't about winning games it's about evaluating and developing your Young quarterback yeah it's just hard not to think about the draft with him and you want to be moved past this point Mina because his physical comp pre-draft was one of my peers uh which is to say you you stood next to him in a photo and people are like this isn't good the relative uh equinity although you claimed to be wearing heels which you know truthers may disagree uh just not a great start and then the headline on this season his rookie season was historically bad and I think it's unfair for me to come on this show and talk to you and just say the name CJ strout over and over again but I'm going to do it CJ strout had a historically unparalleled rookie season he went number two Bryce young went number one and so when it comes to what he is facing now I think all of the help you outlined is absolutely going to be incredibly useful to him but also I I mentioned that he has a new coach he also has a new GM and you know that if you a quarterback taken even number one overall when you're not the guy for the guys in charge you got to be worried in a new way yeah especially as we've seen more teams willing to move on more quickly from their first picks Steeler the Steelers for example who we're going to talk about later um you talked about the new coach and that is another one another thing I want to hit on with the Panthers CJ strad was so much better in so many ways but he also benefited from better play calling and I am interested in seeing what Dave Canales the new head coach of the Carolina Panthers does with Bryce young because he did a fantastic job with Gino Smith in Seattle Baker Mayfield uh in Tampa Bay it's a big part of why he was hired for this job Pablo on to another quarterback the 2024 NFL season is shaping up to be a pivotal moment in the Carolina Panthers history with expectations soaring pressure mounting and the weight of the franchise resting on the shoulders of Bryce young after a brutal rookie season that tested his resist resilience being sacked 62 times and facing a Relentless wave of challenges young returns to the field determined to prove his worth but this time he's not alone the Panthers have made sweeping changes overhauling the offensive line revamping their roster and bringing in a new head coach Dave canals to lead the charge the question is will it be enough the stakes have never been higher Young's potential is undeniable but the clock is ticking and the Panthers fan base is impatient can young r above the adversity harness his natural talent and lead the Panthers to the promised land can Canales with his Fresh Approach and offensive mind unlocked the full potential of this team or will the same issues that plagued the Panthers last season rear their ugly heads once again the pressure on Bryce young is immense this is a quarterback who showed flashes of Brilliance in his rookie season despite the odds stacked against him but now in his second year there is no room for excuses the Panthers have invested heavily in protecting their Young quarterback bringing in key players like Robert hunt and Damon Lewis to fortify the offensive line and adding new weapons to the receiving core including Xavier Legette and Deontay Johnson but will these moves translate into success on the field the reality is that the NFL is an unforgiving League where expectations can crush even the most promising players young faces an uphill battle not just against the physical challenges of the game but also against the mental and emotional toll of carrying a franchise on his back every game every snap every decision will be scrutinized under the harsh Spotlight of national attention can he withstand the pressure or will he crumble under the weight of it all the Panthers decision to bring in Dave Canales as head coach adds another layer of intrigue to this unfolding drama Canales is known for his offensive prowess but the question remains can he turn this team around the stakes are enormous and canals knows that failure is not not an option the Panthers have made it clear that they expect results and canals must deliver his ability to develop and maximize Young's Talent will be critical but it's not just about X's and O's it's about creating winning culture instilling confidence in the team and navigating the inevitable ups and downs of a grueling NFL season the road to the Super Bowl is littered with obstacles and for the Panthers the journey is fraught with uncertainty the NFC is stacked with contenders and while the Panthers have made significant strides in the offseason they remain unproven can young lead this team to the playoffs can canals out maneuver his more experienced counterparts in the coaching ranks the answers to these questions will determine not just the fate of the Panthers season but the future of the franchise but the stakes are even higher than that this season will Define Bryce Young's career trajectory it will determine whether he is the franchise quarterback the Panthers believe him to be or just another cautionary Tale in the long history of unfulfilled potential in the NFL the pressure is unrelenting and the expectations are Skyhigh young must not only navigate the physical demands of the game but also the mental and emotional challenges that come with being the face of a franchise in the end the Panthers success or failure this season will come down to a few key factors can Bryce young stay healthy and play at a high level can the offensive line protect him and give him the time he needs to make plays can Dave Canal's craft an offensive scheme that maximizes young talents and puts the Panthers in a position to win and most importantly can the Panthers rise to the occasion and deliver when it matters most the 2024 season is a make or break moment for the Carolina Panthers the stakes couldn't be higher and the pressure couldn't be more intense this is a team on the brink a team that has the potential to make a deep playoff run but also a team that could just as easily fall short of expectations the margin for error is Razor thin and the Panthers must be perfect in their execution if they hope to achieve their goals for Bryce young this season is about more than just proving his worth as a quarterback it's about proving that he can handle the pressure that he can lead a team that he can be the Difference Maker that the Panthers need him to be the spotlight is on him and the entire NFL world is watching the question is can he rise to the occasion or will the weight of expectation prove too much for him to Bear the Panther's Journey to the Super Bowl starts now the challenges are immense the pressure is intense and the stakes couldn't be higher but with Bryce young at the helm and Dave Canal is leading the charge the Panthers have a chance a chance to defy the odds silence the doubters and make history the road ahead is long and treacherous but for the Panthers the destination is clear Super Bowl Glory will they seize the moment or will they falter when it matters most only time will tell but one thing is certain the 2024 NFL season will be one for the ages
