QB Bryce Young, CAR (1 Viewer)

Love to see it. Written off by almost everyone.
I snagged him for a late 4th round rookie pick in dynasty last year. Had faith he'd rebound, and looks like it is FINALLY clicking.

Please get this guy some more WR weapons.

similar….in a superflex startup this year, I grabbed Lamar in the first and Bryce in the 6th (QBs flew off the board as expected and he was the last “young starting QB” left) and then Carr in the 12th as my “good enough to start at SuperFlex this year” insurance. So, yeah, I’ve been rooting for this kid the whole year and happy to see him turn it around.

I honestly can’t think of another young QB who started immediately, was subsequently benched, then started again, and “succeeded” with their current team. In these situations, it usual seems that a change of scenery is needed for any 2nd chance at success, but Bryce is hopefully breaking the mold (“hopefully” for ME of course so I don’t have to reach for a rookie QB in next years draft since I’ll be drafting very late)

Go get ‘em, Bryce!

Dang. That makes my trade of Kupp for him in SF after he was benched look like really overpaying.

if he keeps this trajectory going, and CAR cleans up... it's robbery regardless.
 
I'm starting Bryce Young off waivers in my finals. That's over a very questionable Anthony Richardson or Aaron Rogers. At least the weather should be decently warm in Tampa.
I previously dropped CJ Stroud(drafted as my QB1), Geno Smith, Russell Wilson(3 bullets dodged) and Matthew Stafford.

He was a #1 overall draft pick and his receivers seem to finally be mostly healthy. I'm hoping for the best and a shootout in Tampa Bay.

At his size he's a hard guy not to root for. Like a David among Goliaths.

I agree. I wrote him off. He looked completely overmatched physically.

Great kid we all know that. Now he is balling out. I wish him nothing but success. I hope it works out for him.

Proving the doubters wrong and I was one of those doubters.
 
Hopefully more teams take the sit and learn approach. Yea throwing them to the fire sometimes works but not every guy can pick up and go right away nor do they have the tools to do so. Bryce sitting this year after that disaster of start seemed to give in a moment to step back and see what he was doing wrong and be able to fix it instead of continuing to get pounded without knowing.

I said it earlier in the thread and I’ll say it again….

I can’t remember a single occurrence of a young franchise QB playing 1+ seasons very poorly, getting benched to step back and learn, and then actually coming back to start and performing well. It seems unprecedented. Usually that kind of benching leads to the team and player going their separate ways. Amazing turnaround for Young and the Panthers.

It's more a statement that he should have been sitting that whole time and you let a guy like Dalton or Flacco take the lumps with the bad roster so the kid can learn.

Maybe those lumps he took made the later lessons my effective?

Maybe. There were times he looked like he was improving this year but his confidence was just falling apart this year pre-benching.

Yeah, guys, sorry, but he is NOT the future. I think that was quite evident the first time he got benched but it's even more evident now.

Update?!

For the second time, I'm not convinced yet. We'll see how he does next year. But, maybe he'll be the exception. I'll admit he has certainly played much better.

But every time Bryce Young successfully parks his car or completes a pass is not a reason to run in here and declare he's the GOAT and ask me for an update. It's going to take a little bit more than that. We're going to need it on a consistent basis. If he performs this good next year as he has the last couple games, then I'll give you the update you want.

Really fascinating year for him.
If he continues to play well, this will be one to be discussed for a long long time.

I really liked him in college and like his makeup too. Ya know his back story...I have him in two dynasty leagues where I got him off the waiver wire. I've never started him. I believe there's many others out there that did the same. We could all possibly have the best FF waiver wire pickup here too.

So fascinating
 
If Bryce somehow settles into even being a top-15 NFL QB, it’ll be one of the weirdest and most interesting success stories ever after the winding road he’s been down already.
