He's still the best QB that has ever been in Charlotte

I don't understand your thread title since Tom Brady has played the Panthers in Charlotte numerous times throughout his career.

I mean we just had Rhule who wanted to sell the farm to get Watson so...

One thing about Stroud's tape that is INCREDIBLY encouraging is that he grew as the season went on. Throws/concepts he missed on early in the year he was able to recognize and take advantage of later in the season. That makes me think he has the capacity to grow in the NFL as well, and that his own processor is plenty fast in it's own right. Again, I'm happy with either.

Right? Warren Moon Sucked too. And that guy Kurt Warner couldn't even make it in the CFL, he had to go to Europe. All joking aside, up until the past decade or so, QBs could actually be touched while playing the game of football so you needed a big dude that could take the hits. With the newer rules protecting them now in place, guys who would have previously been passed over due to size concerns are now playing QB more often. The prototypical QB of 6'4 and 220 lbs isn't true anymore. Guys all sizes are showing that they can play and play at high levels in the NFL while not being skyscrapers. Brees, Wilson, Mayfield, Murray, Tua, and Hurts are all 6'1 and below, and all have either been drafted high or played at a high level in the NFL at one point or another. The new rules of the NFL allow the short kings to play QB now. Having said all that, as of today I want us to draft CJ Stroud. Yesterday it was Young.

^ Me trying to decide who I want between Young and Stroud

In defense of Bryce Young: You don't know if he's missing these guys, they're running the wrong routes, or what the play progression is. For the play with the Green dot, JT O'Sullivan breaks that play down and says the receiver most likely ran the wrong route (I have it timestamped): The TD pass you pointed out: from the endzone view it looks like the receiver you highlight was read #3 after the other two guys on the left. The argument could be made he should have been able to identify that look pre-snap, but he was still able to buy time in the pocket, keep his head downfield and throw a TD. JT's video is great and he further breaks down the rest of the game gushing about him, because he had 5 TDs and over 300 yards passing. CJ is a rhythm thrower in part because he has the superior supporting cast and his offensive scheme is incredibly QB Friendly so it allows him to be in rhythm all game long. The Georgia game showed that he can throw off schedule and excel at it when given the chance, but was that a flash in the pan? Bryce Young has shown the playmaking "IT" Factor on more than one occasion. His tape is filled with it. It's why I'd be thrilled if we drafted him. You can find 1 or 2 plays per game from both CJ and Bryce where they make the wrong read or just flat out miss someone. It happens. But more often times than not Bryce does not miss those guys (Neither does CJ for that matter). Both QBs look like great prospects. It is a 1a, 1b kind of a deal for me at this point. The questions the team needs to ask and answer are: How much is CJ propped up by his scheme and talent that surrounds him? How much will Bryce Young's size hinder him in the NFL? Everything else can be answered by watching tape with these two, because they are both great prospects. Once they come to an answer to those questions, we'll take our guy and hope for the best.

True true, But I don't know of anyone currently doing it.

I absolutely love it. I have 3 custom jerseys (One of each color) with the number 0 and my name on them. Originally did it to avoid having the Jersey of a guy who left the team potentially on bad terms, now I'm just ahead of the curve.

I mean you're already starting on Second with a group of guys if your name is "Bumper".

There was only one Luke Kuechly. I'm not sure of anyone else in the league that is diagnosing plays to the extent Luke did, and that was because he was a film junkie and watched it daily. Also that has nothing to do with sensing when someone is around you or getting close to you. One of Bryce's best traits is having a great feel for where everyone is on the field at any given time. He avoids pressure within the pocket better than anyone in the class. Tom Brady is the GOAT in large part due to his unbelievable pocket awareness/manipulation. Dude moved in the pocket better than anyone pretty much ever. He was hardly ever sacked because of the way he was able to sense pressure and avoid it while in the pocket.

If the "instinct" you possess is being able to know/avoid pressure/hits while in the pocket then that translates pretty damn well to the NFL. Some guys have that 6th sense while they stand there. Others have no idea when they're about to be hit or when to make a slight move up or down in the pocket.

If that is his full name why has no one asked where the "J" comes from yet?

I'm fine with whatever as long as it's not glittery anymore. Also just get rid of the 90's silver altogether.

Dammit. Missed it while I was out grocery shopping. Locking this atrocity.

There be rumblings we are getting new uniforms... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/panthers-undergoing-uniform-redesign-offseason-040003628.html Also, "A guy who knows someone" posted on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/panthers/comments/121a25g/rumor_top_to_bottom_brand_redesign_coming/ Get Hype. Or Be Whelmed. Your Choice.

We're not calling him 'Baby Shark', We're just saying his name in the same cadence as the song Because 'DJ' and 'Baby' have the same number of syllables, 'Chark' sounds like 'Shark', and any parent who has had a toddler over the past decade has heard the song "Baby Shark" on repeat just so their kid will calm down for 5 minutes. It's ingrained in our brains my dude.

He means Young's ceiling is physically higher, he's only 5'10.

I'd pie twice if I could, very true and something we should consider.

So the 49ers are taking a step back next year right? We keep sending them our people and we sucked.

Does he get on base? Is his Girlfriend Ugly?

Jesus I just realized we will have a COMPLETELY different Offensive skill player starting lineup than last year. Like, no returning starters whatsoever it was completely overhauled. Moore to Thielen Anderson to Chark Thomas to Hurst CMC to Sanders Baker to Rookie QB/Dalton for a few weeks There are no prior pictures of the panthers 2023 starters in a panther uniform.

D.... J.... CHARK do do do do do do
