    I have been a Stroud guy during most of this process, but the thing that changed my mind on Young was this: my son is a smaller QB for his age, and I want him to have a role model who wears a Panthers jersey. Bryce seems like a good one to pattern your game after as a QB who is smaller in stature. I would still be excited about CJ, but the father in me wants Bryce.

    I’m starting to miss the days when the team with the #1 pick negotiated the contract with the player they wanted weeks before the draft 

    No this is way more fun and makes me really excited to watch that Thursday night. I know I’m the dog in this experiment but I’m enjoying the anticipation and the excitement.

    Brown, Chinn, and Burns are the obvious answers.  But three players i expect to thrive with the new coach are Barno, Horn and Luvu. Luvu and Horn are smart instinctive players who should kill it this year. Barno is similar to Burns as a rookie undersized( for a 4-3)  but a fast and dangerous pass rusher.  If we can add in upcoming years another young corner, ILB, NT and another 3-4 DE the defense is pretty much set up to be a dynasty. 

    Scary thing is with some luck and skill we could do most of that this year.  Within two offseasons this defense will be nasty.  

    I’ve only known being a fan of a 4-3 defense. This is the first time I’ve really had to pay attention to a 3-4 defense and what makes it tick in my whole life. I’m 50 this year.

     Having said that, this is very exciting to me when I think about a dominant defense, which I’ve always absolutely loved, and a rookie QB on an offense that makes plays. Oh man, I might…just might…finally get that Panthers Super Bowl tattoo I’ve been designing and redesigning for years.

  4. I remember there being no bigger cheerleader for the QB on the field than Cam on the sidelines. Teams definitely care about things other than winning. If it were only a football decision then Kap would’ve at least been a backup (even if you think he was bad he would’ve been on a team if it was ONLY about football).

    Is Cam a victim of his own creation? Maybe but I remember him cheering loudly and genuinely for whoever the team put on the field.

    Probably Andrew Luck going 11-5. Kyler went 8-8. The Rams traded up to #1 for Goff and went 4-12, but the next year they fired the HC, got Mcvay and went like 11-5

    I don’t mean how well will the rookie QB do. I mean who had the highest number of wins the year before and the number one pick in the next draft…and how many wins did that team have?

  6. I don’t really know where to ask this…what’s the highest win total for a team with the number one pick? We had 7. Was just thinking that as far as number one pick teams go, we’re actually not a typical terrible team. Got me curious.

    I think he broke his collarbone in the USFL as well. Reading up on Flutie's career is wild, the amount of times NFL teams benched him before big games and lost is kind of hilarious.

    It for sure is crazy and I barely remember him. It’s wild how every time it’s like big game? Yeah you’re benched. Lol

     He doesn’t compare to Young at all, except they’re almost exactly the same size.

    Yeah if we were A CFL team

    Guys stop comparing him to Flutie, he started 3 years in the NFL

    So? He started many years in the CFL and the rules allowed them to commit Assault and Battery. And he was a scrambling QB at 5’9” 180lbs. Why, when talking about injury and size, would we not compare the two? Is Bryce better than Flutie? Of course. At everything. But we’re not comparing the two for who you take number one overall. We’re comparing to injury and career longevity. Flutie managed to have success and avoid major injury. That’s a datapoint worth consideration.

    I've seen a lot of speculation from both fans and media that these days, Assistant GM Adam Peters is the real GM rather than Lynch. Some have even suggested that the 49ers might dump Lynch to keep from losing Peters

    Lynch doesn't really have any background in personnel evaluation. Granted he's got more real world football experience than Marty Hurney did, but still...

    I saw Lynch’s comments today at the owner’s meeting and he named Purdy the starter and basically said Trey needs to want it more but they’re happy to have him on their team right now.

    I came away from those comments thinking they’re either trying to light a fire directly under his ass or they’re shopping him.
