I don't care who we get in the second round to a certain extent of course. Just happy that for once since Cam has been here we invested a first round pick on a offensive skill player. Was getting really tired of scrubs like Armanti Edwards, Pilares, Brandon Lafell, Dwayne Jarret, Joe Adams from years during and before Cam arrived. I know you can get good receivers in later rounds. But for once could we at least try in the first round. That wish became a reality today. Now I feel we can really access how good Cam can or will be in the future. We drafted a guy that has the same build of a Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, Alshon Jeffrey, etc. He may not reach their levels, but feel like it is worth the risk. I am tired of some people saying Cam needs to make his receivers better. At some point we have to understand that some receivers or players in general are not just good regardless of how hard they try (Armanti Edwards).

I mentioned this before, but Turner did not give up a single sack last year.

 

I don't give a damn whether it's at JV or the NFL level, that is an impressive accomplishment.

 

I might be one of the few but I think this kid can play LT in the NFL.

 

Has some of the quickest feet in the draft. Kid can easily play LT. Has a mean street to boot.

Been preaching about Turner for a while, hopefully he makes it to #60. Needs to get into an NFL conditioning program and build his lower body strength some, but he's an aggressive run blocker who can kick step better than the majority of OT in this draft minus Greg Robinson and Matthews.

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
