For all the valid concern over how CJ Stroud has played against Michigan that game against Louisiana Monroe for Bryce Young is the same. That's a low level 4-8 team. Yeah they clocked them by 50 points but they've got Nick Saban and plenty of talent on their end that's what they're supposed to do. Flawed games like that are why we are in the position to draft Young Stroud Richardson or Levis at 1. If BY were flawless Chicago stays put and we hope someone falls. All you can do is hope for the best though because Bryce looks like he's the pick and his intelligence and leadership will hopefully be keys to his development.

What did he say? I'm not paying to read the Charlotte Observer

This is one thing virtually all fans should be able to agree on. And it's what the players want. Make it happen.

Yeah sounds like what we have already known. It's a wrap. I hope BY balls out.

Bryce Young isn't having his intelligence and character as a human being questioned.

If the Texans aren't offering #12 you hang up the phone.

With as passionate as these defenses have been over the last month or so on behalf of all small framed QB's I am expecting an Eli Manning level streak of consecutive career starts for Bryce Young. Will he miss any games at all? Probably not 🫡

Wow that's just fuged up. Brady Quinn is a doorknob.

Downplaying the talent at Alabama is laughable at best. And they're coached by an all time great. They beat low level college teams like a drum. Both Stroud and Young had talent around them if you're going to knock one for it keep it consistent.

Did he even take one? Some folks are getting too heavy handed with the s2 give it a few more years and a larger sample size.

We won't know how it went down for some months. But at Stroud's proday Reich and McCown were all over him. Then at Young's proday the Tepper's were quite obviously smitten. There was a gradual shift after that. I can't wait to see the behind the scenes of some of that.

You don't have to like it but there are some parallels between Mayfield and Young. Highly touted heisman winner back to back 40+ touchdown single digit INT seasons with 70% completion and #1 pick. Baker is bigger too. The one key area of difference you can look to is personality. They are polar opposites there and that could be a layer on why Baker has been the bust he has become. In comparison Bryce is very intelligent humble and is beloved by many as a true leader. If he's going to make it that will be a significant reason why.

Rhule was an egomaniac. But I don't buy that Tep is fully hands off. Bringing his wife into the team operations was surprisingly welcomed by many here considering all the things that were said about Richardson having his sons help run the team years ago. Hopefully it shakes out for us alright in the long run. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

Yeah but some or most of that was definitely Rhule. Teddy bruised his ego really bad when he went public with criticism. Darnold was the perfect rebound after because he would never rock the boat.

Florio is terrible but in terms of Tepper seeing is believing. One could point to 2021 and say well he didn't step in and push them toward Fields. But all we have on that are whispers that he liked JF anyways. And this is a different ball park altogether given the investment to secure the pick. I'll begin to believe it when they put out the behind the scenes from this years draft in the coming months.

Yeah like whether he will hold up to the rigors of ten plus 17 game seasons. Try as you might with your tantrums in the form of raining poo emojis you can't erase that from the conversation.

All you can do is hope they make the right decision and it isn't influenced by ownership.

I tend to agree with you. But man that no back to back winning seasons remark hits hard. I'm hopeful but also in the back of my mind the worry that we pick the wrong guy is there. I'm a Panthers fan bad decisions are what we do. On the flip side though we are due for some good luck. But as far as the notion that the Teppers are being fully hands off in this I just can't fully buy it. I think they are pushing for Bryce. We'll see how it shakes out.

You want Stroud in our division? If we take Young he better be showing elite flashes by week 8 or it will be a shitshow here.

Good to see you've taken a break from making nonstop corny short jokes.

Shane could make a lot of trouble in the AFC with Stroud or Richardson.

Iamhubby1 I hope you'll come together with the rest of us to celebrate our new young franchise QB next Thursday 🫡
