Damn this thread is already getting juicy. Folks overreacting to dinner.

None of this foolishness please. Let the staff pick the QB they will develop.

Oh I'm with you I've been mulling over all these scenarios. I'll accept the pick as long as it's by the staff if they think they can mold Young and protect him so be it.

I'm giving you the side eye for this remark though considering you've been doing your best Rippadon impression spamming the same joke about us taking randoms with #1 because more folks have liked Stroud than your boy.

Young or AR I can live with. The draft is the easy part. It's owning things years from now that will hurt feelings. If we take Young we need Stroud to be mid at best. Same with Richardson. And vice versa. Do not get it twisted. There will be Panthers fans looking at these other QB's for many many months to come. Hell who knows Levis could be alright. The league can be strange.

I like Eddie. Please don't break our hearts bud.

Whomever we pick the redraft for this one is going to be FUN several years from now. Hopefully we have zero regrets.

People about to start logging in with their stash accounts to boost the Bryce votes

We get to do this all over again March 30th.

If it has no factor in injuries why are the only outliers folks have to fall back on in the last 40 years Brees Wilson and Flutie?

Brees is an overrated stat padder. Gifted one Super Bowl win. What else after? Even inaccurate career 59% completion percentage Cam Newton gave Brees teams all they could handle for those years. Stop comparing our possible future QB to that douche to make yourself feel better about his frame.

The same thing could be said about BY if he didn't play for Alabama and Nick Saban.

There have been plenty of former NFL GM's with waaaaaaay more experience than us who have gotten themselves canned picking risky prospects. Hell Dave Gettleman had what damn near half a century of wisdom and Giants fans couldn't wait to get him out of town.

Bryce by all accounts is a fantastic person. Most former players like him. Not surprising few if any are going to knock him for his frame. They don't need to anyways everyone else can see the obvious. But hey apparently we have the best OL in the league for years to come so he will never have to deal with being hit by defenders twice his size. That's a load off my mind 🫡

Well he also raved about DJ Moore. Hopefully not the KOD here.

I just don't get the using Cam's injury as an argument in favor of a smaller frame QB. If anything it has the opposite effect on your argument. Cam is still very much the rushing threat now as he was a few years ago. What QB in the last twenty years has significantly more rushing attempts than him? He is the all time leader in rushing attempts and rushing TD's. He held up through that. If he were sub 6 foot and 200 pounds soaking wet he would have been on IR his rookie year. That hopium has some folks making rationalizations that make no sense.

His throwing shoulder was destroyed in the pocket.

Of course we can't predict the future but one has the ideal frame the other is light. The odds favor Stroud.

My fear is if we take Young he does very well but eventually deals with those inevitable injuries and Stroud ends up looking legit without the injury concerns. This place would be unbearable.

If he's the pick so be it. There's plenty to like about his abilities. The thing I keep going back to is the frame. Skipping the weigh in is a big red flag and confirms he's 190ish at best on gamedays. He'll be okay for a time but eventually defenses will look to send him that welcome to the NFL message. If Sam Darnold can get rocked the way he did against the Falcons you can bet your ass eventually another defense will be waiting to do the same to our top pick QB if he runs with it. The refs will not be getting in between him and defenders. He's already banged up his throwing shoulder in the SEC. The OL with him behind center concerns me. Gotta shore up the OL depth even more with some of our other draft picks. We'll see.

Recap?

I just wish he did the weigh in to shut everyone up. You weigh in the same even if people still have frame concerns there's no more whispers about weight changes.

These Mahomes comps are overboard. Already 2 championships under his belt. The man is 1 of 1.
