I've been extremely excited about our draft (still am) but this one is a head scratcher. Whether you are a "need" or "BPA" guy, I'm not sure he is either one at this spot.

What it sort of tells me from a historical standpoint and RR's predilections is that he is still not sold on CAP.  Which I really don't understand.

What the fug?

Suspended for 2017 due to theft by credit card fraud

Missed bowl game as freshman due to misdemeanor marijuana charges

He's the anti-McCaffrey.

Poor technique as pass-catcher with atrocious drop rate

Bad adjustments to swing passes outside the frame

This aint your same ol Jerry Richardson Panthers. We taking chances on the hot heads. I like it! We need some hot heads on this roster.

We've never been sold on CAP. He's been inactive more often than not. I just don't understand draft a power RB when we had a proven power RB last year behind CMC and didn't use him. Seemed like we were wanting someone who could more closely resemble CMC when on the field and then we draft this guy?

Lmao you people complaining are hilarious. IT'S THE FIFTH ROUND! Anything after round three is basically just throwing poo at the wall and hoping something sticks.

But it's the type of poo that has a chance to stick better than the UDFAs like this guy. No one has him getting drafted and we took him 3 rounds too early. It's hilarious no matter what.

      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
