Man, no kidding. Saying his ceiling is bottom third of NFL QBs is just an opinion. It doesn’t mean that the person criticizing his NFL prospects want to end his bloodline.

What are you even reading?

It's not that serious but you've now doubled and tripled down in your defense of your totally benign comment while calling others triggered. Very interesting.

98% of us want Bryce Young to be the guy rather than start over yet again.

But we also don't need to sit around feeling sorry for him considering he has a guaranteed rookie contract a lot of bottom of the roster players would be lucky to see over the entirety of a career.

Just a heads up. You can talk Bryce Young without gargling his nuts or calling him trash. There's this whole world of middle ground out there.

You’re delusional. Yes my original comment that you are spending paragraph after paragraph trying to make into some huge deal was 100% not that serious. Saying “I would spend a couple weeks in the fetal position if I took 65 sacks” is gargling his nuts? Imagine talking about middle ground when this prolonged ranting about pity parties and nut gargling is your response to THAT post. I made zero commentary on Bryce Young as a QB. Not everything is this big debate about Bryce Young you want to make it to be. Get over it or get a medical diagnosis, this isn’t healthy.

So it's okay to have a pity party for the worst starting QB in the league last year but if I attempt to bring any perspective to your take I'm the one that needs to lighten up

And for comparison sake. Another young quarterback who was also sacked about 65 times ended up being traded after enduring such a miserable season and he's making not much above league minimum per season.

It could always be worse.

Wise words to live by.

Pity party? Good lord get a grip it’s not that serious. You are the only one derailing this thread with these over the top responses to a totally benign comment. I’m honestly confused how you’ve gotten so triggered here. I promise we’re all ok without you bringing “perspective” to any comment that doesn’t poo on Bryce Young.

Where there's a will there's a way. And maybe even a pot of gold waiting at the end.

He's doing just fine. Let's put away the violin.

Lighten up Francis.

If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.  

And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.  

Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.  

From that picture it appears that Mingo is at least a couple feet closer to the camera. I’d guess Legette is significantly bigger side by side.

he already answered that question honestly a few weeks back and it wasn't well received. 

he got away from football, spent a lot of time alone and watched Netflix and you tube.   He eventually added back in working out in the morning.   I mean, the honest answer doesn't make you feel good about a struggling rookie QB with a host of issues. 

 

I don’t blame him. If I had just taken 65 sacks in a season and gone through that dumpster fire, I’d spend a couple weeks in the fetal position watching Netflix too.

Maybe it’s because  Stroud’s  weren’t worried about being decapitated by high balls or knocked out by the tight ones in traffic or being led into hospital balls 

be that as  it may, we shall soon see the new and improved team with Young leading to come from victory

…or perhaps, egads, score more than 7 points throwing.

yeah, I’m bitter 

Did you even watch the videos?

I noticed CJ WRs were head and shoulders better.

Some of the adjustments and catches they made in this video would have 100% been incompletions and “uncatchable balls” with the Panthers WRs.

The draft lottery is a joke. There is 100% a better way to stop tanking. How about if you tank, you forfeit your draft pick. Boom, solved. All the lottery does is punish truly bad teams. The NBA just uses it for rigging and ratings.

Can you imagine Rhule saying any of that lol

Mister “I’ll have to look at the tape because I have no fugging idea what is going on”? Hell naw.

Don’t know much about him but hope he is the right guy. Need to see more effort from everybody not named Brandon Miller. That includes these bullshit nothing burger injuries that guys are just using as excuses to sit on their couches. I was not on board with trading Lamelo before this past season, or drafting Scoot because I felt Lamelo was a guy to build around still. But at a certain point you have to actually play games. Sick of seeing Lamelo selling shoes when I look up Hornets news while he ain’t at games. I’m just getting the feeling he doesn’t care that much about basketball anymore. When he is on the court, he’s still close to the same player that we got as a rookie. His game has improved bits in some areas, but he isn’t coming close to the ceiling I thought he had. He still commits too many turnovers. His shooting percentages are all basically the same. Look at him compared to the improvements other guys from his class have made like Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton. Very frustrating with all the promise he showed early on.

“Professional”

Add to that the fact that we have no control as fans. Like how upset could I possibly get? 

 

Side note : it took my some time to get here, when I was younger I used to get dang heated over these Panthers. 

 

On topic : I think XL is going to be the real deal. Will go down as one of the best two WRs of this draft when it is all said and done.

I get it a bit during the season and during games. Last season was frustrating as hell to watch and several games I just turned off at the half. It was pretty easy, when it was not enjoyable, I simply did something else. Usually I still tuned in for the start hoping that some magical change happened between games, but when it became clear that nothing changed, I just did something else. Same thing with a lot of Rhule’s tenure. I will never understand the Debbie downer excitement police in an off season such as this when nobody has any clue how these moves will all turn out. Legette could be the next Randy Moss or the next Keary Colbert. Nobody has any clue. But it is much more enjoyable to look at the ways in which he can be great, than to try to depress myself by making him a failure in my head already.

“Guyz hold on we haven’t been good so you should be sad and depressed and never have optimism”

”Guyz guyz we can’t make fun of the Falcons because I don’t like our QB”

I don’t think these people get invited to parties.

What Dalton was really all about is the deep routes weren’t being called or run with Bryce Young lol ‘under’ center.  All of a sudden we had them again.

Why do you Young faithful think that was, exactly? Or what the point to take away was? We drafted a QB and sold 2 farms to do it and the coach really is on the hot seat because he wants to bench him. Why would he possibly have wanted to bench him? Well maybe Dalton showed us that (?!).

Maybe try and be realistic.

Will the obsession over Andy Dalton throwing for 6ypc on 60 attempts while getting hit 15 times in a loss never end? Blows my mind people think that was good or sustainable.

Well there you go.

I do hope he’s right, and I like Legette regardless, but it’s really hard to take these hot takes seriously these days.

Well Tremble was getting George Kittle comps when came out.. 

Im really excited to see what Sanders can do, but Im not holding my breath for a 4th round TE. 

Tremble was a pure projection pick based on his athletic profile who did very little in college. Ja’Tavion Sanders is probably a better receiver than him right out of the gate even though Tremble has had 3 years of NFL development. Sanders had over 3x the college production of Tremble and averaged over 15ypc with zero drops this past season. I think the comparison starts and ends with them both being Panthers draft picks.

Good write up. While I agree in theory that snapping the ball isn’t that hard, NFL centers need to be basically perfect at it. Even one bad snap a game is way too many. I’m worried about the consistency of them not having the reps over years and years and the muscle memory to have an identical and repeatable snap. I’m also worried about Corbetts knees.

It took a historically lopsided trade in our favor for the Huddle to say they were good with the trade lol.

There’s somehow still huddlers who think this draft was an F.

Obviously drafts can’t be evaluated for a few years before you know what you got, but just going off what we know right now anyone hating on this draft is either ignorant or willfully miserable. The big complaints defending Bryce (a lot of it in the media, the same people shitting on our draft) were that our OL sucked and Bryce didn’t have any weapons. We heavily invested in the OL in FA, brought in a separation machine via trade, and spent this draft plugging every conceivable hole in the weapons for Bryce. I get if you wanted McConkey or someone other than XL, but we already have McConkey’s role on the team. We didn’t have a XL role and he’s inarguably the highest potential of anyone in the draft at his role. Whining about one year of production ignoring the factors that lead to it is the definition of ignorance.  Even if you preferred a different WR, the worst you could give that pick is a B.  Surrounding a young QB with weapons is how everyone agrees it should be done, so doing that rather than backfilling depth spots at CB or edge is not a poor strategy. We got at least three guys that should be starting before the end of the year, maybe four depending on the LB we took in the 3rd. Our LB position was weaker than CB or edge rusher. 

Not to mention, the trade back in the 2nd was A++ in terms of value to pick up a future 2nd to move back 13 spots. The trade up for Legette was also excellent. Even if you hate the picks, the draft itself was extremely successful. They got the top RB in the whole draft in the middle of the second round. A RAS monster at WR. They got who many had as TE 2, a contested catch machine with ZERO drops, in the 4th. Another explosive RAS guy at LB to develop behind Thompson and Jewell. And we’ve got whiners in here saying we got no physical traits, a TE who can’t catch, and a RB who won’t start for 3 years. People just determined to complain whether they even know what they’re complaining about or not.
