This and what he mentioned is why I can't get overly excited about Bryce Young. At best I'm anxiously optimistic because I kind of have to be. I have no idea if all that dancing he does in the pocket will translate in the NFL either. Baker and Kyler had stronger arguments than Young does bc of arm strength and mobility respectively. There's been a ton of smart QBs that became coaches because they didn't have the physical abilities to go along with it.

Cam literally revived my dying interst in football after the 2010 season. Every game in 2011 I was on the edge of my seat screaming and clapping and cursing at my TV in college I'm nowhere near as excited about Bryce. I'm more anxious and hopeful vs me just being 100% ready to kick ass with Cam from the moment his name got called. Bryce has a lot to live up to and we really shouldn't expect anything less out of a #1 overall pick.

None of those are realistic but its so fun trading down This might be my most balanced/realstic one. Addressed a diversity of needs position wise and cut down that massive gap between pick 2 and 3. Got our original 3rd round pick back from the patriots

You think Bryce is going to throw long bombs and 400 yards in game 1?? To who?

Something I had not considered until you mentioned it I was wondering why all this stuff has been leaking out over the last 2 weeks it's like beating a dead horse from several different reporters and literally everyone interviewing Bryce last week. It's like they're trying to justify the pick to the fans before it's actually made

Fan base has gone from like 80/20 ,stroud young to 70/30 young stroud due to all the reports and media coverage of Bryce it's been shifting gradually every week since the first Bryce rumors started I think a lot of fans have read the tea leaves and are just trying to convince themselves Bryce is the best option If you do a post draft poll it'll be like 95 percent we made the best pick, we won't know that for a good long while.

That would be fuging horrible yeesh Bryce doesn't run like Russel did some of yall are at the opposite end of this comparison because you all reference Brees and Wilson indefinitely and I don't see it . Bridgewater checked down a ton and was seen as very accurate Tuas been good recently besides the injuries but to be fair he was injured way more often in college. But they're both small qbs coming out same School. Mac Jones also came out of there wasn't too athletic and known for his accuracy

I'm ambivalent about the Bryce pick and I hate all the other picks

Pretty much sums up my fears on Young

People were crucifying fans for not liking the teddy signing man there's two sides to that People that aggressively fug with fans for having a dissenting opinion are just as bad

That's where I've been for a while. I'm not going to be excited about Bryce pick unless he convinces me otherwise on the field. I'll be upset if he's anything short of great he's got a lot to live up to given how Cams rookie year went.

I have been really curious about how all this information has been getting out. Is it that the staff just doesn't care that everyone knows who they're going with but can't explicitly say they're picking Bryce due to NFL saying not to? It's reached the point where its becoming redundant, it's not really news unless they flipped their opinion

I don't think any of us can really blame the Panthers for picking young even if it doesn't work out, he's clearly the best in this class at processing/decison making, pocket navigation, throwing under pressure which are all important. Also succeeded with lesser talent this past season vs Stroud. It just personally irks me that he doesn't have any defining physical traits that he excels at (throwing power or running ability usually the main two), that combined with his lack of height and weight has me just fine with it vs being ecstatic like I really should be when drafting a QB #1 overall. He'll have plenty of time to convince me otherwise on the field but until then I'm basically cautiously optimistic

That Zavala guy is in a ton of mock drafts I see recently. That's a pretty by the books one it's not bad. I just wish we had the opportunity to get a top tier offensive skill player to pair with Bryce in R2 or R3 but the way the boards predicted to fall in most mocks the best talent especially in R2 leans defensive. I'd be okay with a defensive r2 pick but not if it's a CB or DT. You can't let fear of injury to our CBs again make you miss on better talent at other positions in R2 imo.

That was before the sea of Bryce and CJ rumors we got. I think the S2 test made a ton of Stroud proponents among panther fans flip their allegiance. I still want Stroud, I feel like his potential is higher than Youngs. I just want everyone to remember all this flip flopping here if CJ ends up being better than Bryce. I'd imagine there will be ton of people saying I told you so but conveniently leave out the fact they hopped on the Bryce train well before draft day. I really hope both of them work out, but theres going to be several years of poo throwing if the above happens. Or even if Bryce is just Mediocre or something.

I feel like we really need more context for these numbers. Like the scores for several current and past QBs in the NFL.

Holy poo

I will never understand people buying jerseys of players that haven't played in the NFL yet. You don't want to wait a few games to make sure they don't suck?? Did people do this with Teddy and Sam?? Christ

So they switched from stroud to Bryce based on this test alone?

I heard the Panthers were meeting with Stroud and Levis yesterday. Is there any information on what happened?

I think at this point we should expect Bryce to be the pick unless we hear otherwise.. everything we've heard for several days is Bryce, it's Bryce unless it's some sort of elaborate smoke screen to make the Texans trade up I'm personally a Stroud fan but I'm not burying my head in the sand and ignoring the reports

That is certainly a sign wow

Who do you think that idea person is

I don't think we need a new thread every time a reporter says Carolina is leaning Bryce or Stroud, Jesus.
