Seriously though...I don't think this will factor into his draft stock much. Unless he ahs a history of it. Then that would be different. I think one time run ins with Johnny Law for misdemeanors is overlooked quickly if they have talent in the NFL.

For a DUI? That's a pretty serious offense.

Maybe if this was a misdemeanor alcohol or public intox offense. DUI is a whole different animal.

I disagree that DUI is a serious offense. It is a misdemeanor and unless there was an accident or some other injury then it's not a big ddeal. Again if it isn't part of a pattern.

 

Now on the PR side? Yeah it's a hiccup and everyone will be all grim faced and serious about it. And then it will be forgotten almost immediately as the next failed drug test or woman beating story comes out. As long as it is a one time occurrence...not a big deal. In my never to be humble opinion.

It's a misdemeanor to the law, but to the NFL a DUI shows very poor decision making.

It's not about the crime or even if you did it, it's the nature or the crime. We should know this all too well from what we witnessed this season.

I agree.The PR hit is bigger than the legal issue. But I still don't think that a DUI (one single event not part of a pattern) is something even the over reactive media and public will hang a guy for. Also assuming no injuries.

 

Now you kill a family of four in a DUI accident? Forget it your done. But if you just get pulled over and blow a .1? Not a big deal and the media and public move on quickly. Someone already said this is a 2nd incident. Not 2nd DUI but 2nd run in with the lawfor dumb poo. Ok that MIGHT affect his draft a little but this won't be the reason he tumbles too far.

 

I'm not saying personally it's ok. I'm simply saying...meh...he'll be fine. Unless there's more to the story.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
