Mr Mojo Risin

The concerns with Young will not go away anytime soon. Everytime a ball is batted, he misses a WR, throws an INT it will be because he is too short and doesn't have the arm strength for the NFL. We are not going to be a team that throws it deep 5+ times a game. We are going to be a methodical, long drives with multiple plays type of offense. This offense suits Young to his strengths which is currently not the deep ball (that doesn't mean it will be like that for his entire career). I admit I have my concerns about the arm strength and those deep balls obviously did not look good but it's still super early in the process if he's still under/over shooting receivers come late July/August then I will say there is some cause for concern but right now Young looks to be on the right track. Give him time.

I was wondering the same thing. With all the hype this offseason I figured there would be some OTA threads up but I guess not

The more I think about it the more I don't understand who will be coming off the field for him? He doesn't do that well when asked to cover in space so I don't see us running 3 safeties vs passing looks. Maybe he subs in for Vonn Bell in obvious run formations/heavy run teams? I'm not sure how good Bell was at stopping the run but I'm fairly certain he was good at covering TEs so maybe that's the plan? I don't see who else he'd substitute in for

Chicago. I'm only an hour and a half away from Soldier Field and I can take the train! My best friend is a Dallas Cowboys fan I'm trying to talk him into making the drive down to Charlotte with me the next week to watch the Cowboys Panthers game. If both teams have good records and are vying for a spot in the playoffs I think its going to happen. Will be my first time going to a Panthers home game I hope it happens!

Those guys might be able to become great Qbs in their own right but I don't see them being Championship level (Sb winning) Qbs even at their best. Especially with the teams they were drafted onto. If Young puts it all together at the NFL level and proves that his size is not a detriment to his game he will be viewed as a Championship level QB and I think that's the difference.

You're not wrong both teams have the exact same amount of division titles which is 6 a piece.

Wrong. You told someone there's no point in getting excited until you see how good or bad the coaching staff does. That logic applies to you being a negative nancy about the backup QB position. Why complain when they haven't even taken a snap yet? Why not just wait and see before complaining? Make sense?

Wow that's quite the logic! It's almost like if you applied that same logic to the backup QB position you're complaining about maybe this terrible ass thread wouldn't exist!

I'm good with how everything has gone so far. This is the first season since the beginning of 2019 that I've looked forward to Panther Football. Best of luck to Tepper, this team and staff, and most of all to Bryce Young. Hopefully he's just as electrifying as the last QB we drafted #1 overall. This fanbase needs that type of energy again.

The jags were in a worse situation than we were in with Rhule when it comes to their coaching staff. I'd look at that for the reason Lawrence and that entire Jags team struggled that year

I'd put him similar to what Mac Jones did his rookie year (3800 passing 67% COMP 22 TD 13 INT) 3300-3500 passing comp 63-65% 22-25 passing td 8-12 int

Sometimes converting short yardage is more than just run it up the middle with your biggest guy. Tom Brady is the king in converting short yardage QB sneeks. Was he the most physically gifted QB? Of course not. I'm sure with the collective football IQ that now resides on our offensive staff that they will figure it out. Just have to wait and see.

Prayers

Best of luck to Bryce and this coaching staff. Hopefully this regime is the most successful Panther regime to date

We will always look back at the Cam years as what could have been. We get a second shot at it this coming Thursday.

That has nothing to do with what I said. And Cam took this team to the playoffs 4 times out of 8 seasons his 9th he was hurt for 14 games. We are lucky we won that much with the way we built around our "Franchise" Qb. Cam was consistently asked to do more with less the only other QB you can argue that has had to do that would be Lamar Jackson. We will be lucky to draft a QB that has a similar drive, work ethic, and passion for winning as Cam Newton did. Incredibly lucky.

Exactly. I dont have a horse in the race but if I had to choose one, give me the one that hates to lose just as much as Cam Newton did

Too raw for him to go #1 overall when there are better prospects available. He may have the highest "ceiling" in your opinion but that does not make him the better prospect coming out of college. Let me see you do it in college before I believe you can do it in the NFL. He hasn't thrown for 20 TDs in a single season in college. Does that mean he can't do it at the NFL level? Of course not but there is no guarantee he can either. At least with the other QBs their numbers and play align more with a #1 overall prospect more than Anthony Richardson's does.

He doesn't have to be able to throw as hard as Cam but arm strength would be more of my concern over the injury prone argument when it comes to his size

Mine would be the velocity at which they can throw the football. There's no way a 5 10 Bryce Young throws a faster ball than a 6 5 250 pound Cam Newton. I just worry about Youngs arm strength not being adequate enough for the speed of NFL secondaries

Yes this is true, but you can also now say that all of those decisions has now lead us to Reich and our new #1 pick at QB which could set us up for success for the next decade plus. Hopefully it was all worth it.

Baltimore has John Harbaugh and a solid defense. There's still plenty of time for them to find some pass catchers with the draft and the rest of FA. I'm sure they can do better than Damiere Byrd and N'Keal Harry as his opening day 1 & 2. As far as starting positions go Baltimore looks to be the most open with all the questions surrounding Lamar right now. Cam signing as a back up he could go to multiple situations where it could have been beneficial to him I was only talking about possible starting opportunities come Training Camp.

Baltimore would probably be Cam's best chance at a job if they think Lamar won't play for them this year

I'm more curious to know what happens if our #1 pick wants to wear #1. It's not retired and should be allowed to be worn again correct? Idk how I'd feel about that.

Anyone who uses Mayonnaise as their go to coffee creamer shouldn't be drafted at all
