Dip included?

What did Gary Cobb say?

2 old ass coaches calling plays.

Maybe a DC, but his ego would never allow him to do that. He will probably be like a defensive consultant or something.

I love the whole “how many times does Bryce have to hit players in the face before you appreciate his accuracy” comment. We need some stickum for their face masks.

It’s a different spin every week

Man I love the energy Stroud is playing with. Seeing him hop up and down over the OL as that pass is being caught made me laugh. We need to get our players out there having fun. I know they are all frustrated from losing but they need some positive energy.

Pete Carroll and Kyle Shanahan make most QBs in their system look pretty good.

As long as the play clock doesn't drop to 1 second every play it's progress.

I think Reich liked Stroud, AR, and Young based on hearing him talk about several QBs that could be the top pick. Fitt seemed to describe Young when he was talking about his ideal QB (yeah I know it was lying season). I could see Reich preferring Stroud, but putting up little resistance when Fitt prefers Young. Fitt has been a fan of trying to draft and develop our QB since he has been here. He probably had an idea of which one he wanted for a while, plus the whole Russ size thing in Seattle. Reich also wanted Carr so he probably wasn't too adamant about any particular player in the draft IMO. https://theathletic.com/4430449/2023/04/20/panthers-nfl-draft-bryce-young-s2-test/ Fitt on the S2 “Obviously, we use it so we believe in it. But it’s a tool. There’s a lot of different tools that we look at, analytics (and) everything else,” general manager Scott Fitterer said. “It all comes back to the tape. It’s the most important thing that we do when we watch and we evaluate. S2 is just another tool that we use. It is something that we believe in, though.” Young also had some of the best tape. His size translating to the NFL was his biggest concern. The article also mentions Tepper probably loves the S2 since he is a big analytics guy.

I mean Reich is calling the plays and it looks very similar to the plays he was running in Indianapolis that their fans grew tired of. He might be more stubborn that we realize. With Brown and Evero (two HC candidates) on his staff he better figure it out quick or I could see one of them taking over.

Which is the opposite of what a good coach/staff would do. You evolve your schemes based on the players you have and cater it around their best attributes.

What if Fitt convinced him to take Young?

Oh yeah for sure. Especially trading up to acquire him. Stroud made the most sense with the risk that was involved with the trade up. At worst you have a Goff type QB who is pretty solid.

I don’t think anyone is debating his size. That was his only negative, but it’s a pretty big negative red flag. It’s also why the pick was for sale. There was no Luck, Lawrence, Caleb in this past draft. They all had weaknesses.

Agreed but to his credit I think Thomas and Chark were responsible for the other ones. I still kind of think Tremble has some potential and should be TE2 behind Hurst in this offense.

I mean it’s rumored/leaked that Tepper wanted Fields, but we didn’t draft him. I can see him being more direct since we moved up to acquire this QB and I could see Reich/Fitt leaning Young based on what they heard from Tepper. I just don’t think Tepper forced their hands but again it’s all guesses and speculations.

I'm not sure that person wants any additional info. I know what you are talking about and it was an interesting read though.

You thinking a Clausen pic is serious shows how clueless you have become. At one point you were a decent poster. Can you show me where Bryce Young hurt you?

Yeah as soon as Verge posts again he will probably end up getting banned.... again.....

I'm talking about analysts and former GMs who release their draft boards. Relax man you are becoming the new ripadon on here stuck on repeat. We also have insiders who know waaaaay more than some dude crying about busts with an Icky avatar (seems a little ironic given his current play) on a Panthers message board. You keep doing you though.

That guy is broken. He can't handle anything positive about Young. Schefter linked the Texans to wanting him and a majority of the former GMs/Analysts had him ranked one. I think Brugler did like Stroud better, but had Young right behind him. You even have Texans players talking about how happy they are they won that game last year and had Stroud fall to them. It's painfully obvious, but he refuses to admit it.

Yeah it wasn’t some reach out of left field to draft him. He appeared to be the top QB prospect on more boards than not. He was a little polarizing due to his size which makes it a bit of a surprise we traded up what we did for him vs a Stroud who appeared to have a much higher floor.
