There is nothing like Mel Kiper when he gets going.
It’s less than 24 hrs after the Panthers decision to bench Bryce Young in favor of veteran Andy Dalton, and the discourse surrounding Carolina is at an all-time high. On Tuesday morning Mel Kiper Jr. went on Get Up and absolutely roasted the entire process around the second year quarterback.
“Then you see him beat C.J. Stroud on the field as a rookie. You take out the three games he threw multiple interceptions he was six touchdown, three picks. Had some decent games last year. Then you go into this year and you change everything because C.J. Stroud’s doing so well in Houston — “we gotta destroy this thing, we gotta blow it up, start over. Because C.J. Stroud’s doing so great in Houston — these coaches aren’t getting it done.”
So we bring in an offensive coach, who was with Baker and others. Bring in a new pass game coordinator. New quarterback coach — for Bryce Young. THEN YOU DON’T PLAY HIM IN THE PRESEASON! We play him one series in the final preseason game against the AOG’s [any old guy], by the way none of those guys are playing for Buffalo now. They went one series down the field and they were “rah, rah! Great, we accomplished everything we wanted to!”
I’ll give you a little note: C.J. Stroud played two preseason games. Derek Carr played in two preseason games. Why? Because Klint Kubiak was coming in with a new offense, and Derek Carr as a veteran played in two preseason games. Bryce Young played one series in the final preseason game against the nobodies on defense for the Buffalo Bills. Because THAT makes sense that now we’re two games in that he can’t play. Yes, his confidence was shattered. Yes, he does need to sit behind Andy Dalton for a little bit. But the “blame this on Bryce Young” is ridiculous. The blame here goes to the organization, the owner, for mishandling this young quarterback.”
No lies detected. Calling Carolina a dumpster fire is an insult to flaming garbage.
