Honestly he's the toughest son of a bitch ever for finishing that game.

Crap, I watched that game, but forgot who the QB was. I cut myself opening a bookshelf after Christmas and that bitch is STILL in pieces. This man almost died and missed 2 plays.

This is a HUGE red flag. The guy ran a 4.92 in HS. I don't think he's anywhere near as fast as most people think he is. I'm not sure his running ability translates to the NFL. If he could run sub-4.7 he'd be running IMO.

Is your QB's 40 times really that important?  I prefer him to be an accurate passer with a strong arm, intelligence and good instincts, but WTF do I know?

I’ve said from the beginning I don’t think his running translates to the NFL what we saw at NDSU but he has enough athleticism and strength that he can make stuff happen with his legs outside the pocket. And he can break tackles. Think Andrew Luck/Steve McNair. He probably runs a 4.7-4.8 which is about what they ran. Luck 4.68, McNair 4.7+.

Lance his a swing for the fences type of pick. What intrigues me about him is his arm talent and his athleticism. He can make elite nfl throws, break tackles and throw at different arm angles on the run but it’s such a small sample size and he’s obviously raw and needs coaching and patience.

If so many nfl teams weren’t so qb needy and if qbs were not as paramount to success as they are today Lance would be a late first/early second round pick but that’s not the reality we live in.

If a chicken had lips it could whistle.

I don't think the Panthers draft Lance at 8. 

Lance requires more time than I think the Panthers are looking for in a QB.  Plus, he requires a Lance built scheme.   Which doesn't seem like what the Panthers want to do. 

I think Lance would make sense for a team like Atlanta.  A team forced to start another QB and isn't looking to turn it over to a rookie any time soon.  

Jeez, I hope so. I was actually thinking, after listening to this video, that if Simms is right, and Lance is there at 35, they'd sprint to the podium. I still think he goes in the 1st though, even if he is QB #6.

Everyone is a top 5 or top 10 pick.  Until they are sitting there with a camera on them and falling. 

I personally think the odds favor some of these QBs lasting longer than currently predicted.  Lot of really good players in this draft early on.  And every year proves a high percentage of these first round QBs.

      That might balance out because apparently the Texans O-line is ass. He did manage to throw for almost 300 yards the last two weeks though.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By frankw · Posted

      Don't forget that Rhule actually took Tepper's offer to the Giants and they balked. He was just seeking the big payday which should have been a red flag. I have no idea how much time Tepper spends within the Panthers building. I do know that he in the past has been too much involved. He supposedly held weekly meetings with Reich. Then after firing Reich Tepper he held a press conference where he did virtually all the talking and made it about himself. Before that Tepper went out of his way to bloviate to the press about how he spoke to Bryce Young months before the draft and directly told him he wanted him to be a Panther. Then he went to the well of his selling point about Bryce being a point guard and we wouldn't need to invest in elite weapons. The guy thinks and talks like he knows what he's doing. At the end of the day the franchise has been in the gutter in large part due to he and his wife's involvement. It is what it is. Appreciate the convo.

      Unlike most of you, I do not assume the FO thinks he is beyond repair.  For the first time since 2017 the Panthers have a chance to be in the playoffs. One more game will tie them for the most wins since 2018, 2 more wins will put them at 8 wins - the most in 8 years.  Hate all you want but a big part of that success has come from Bryce. He got them in the hole with Miami but he got them out of it as well and was a big part of that win. Against Dallas, he played very well throughout the game plus he converted on a 4th down in the final minutes putting them in FG range for the win. He may not have had a good game against the Packers but he did convert on two 3rd down conversions in the final minutes to help seal the win and of course the Falcons game was his best yet. Tepper likes him and they have a huge investment in him as well. You don't just throw that away unless you have something concrete lined up behind him - which I just don't see.
