we're not getting the #1 pick any time soon and this qb class looks like ass cheeks

I don't know how this years class will do, but how a draft class will do is something we can't tell until they actually start playing on Sundays.  All I heard was how great last year's class was, and so far, the only ones that looked decent are Mac Jones and Davis Mills. The rest of them may get better eventually, or maybe they won't.  But I don't agree with writing off next year's class until they show what they can do on the field.

i just hate how people looked at the bengals winning and just assume we can insert some halfway decent qb and get a ticket back to the super bowl 

I mean I agree. I never said I believed in that. Because I don't. But the Bengals made it to the Super Bowl with a bad line. So I assume most people who say that mean a franchise QB can rise above a bad line. I doubt most people actually believe you can make a Super Bowl with a bad o-line and a mediocre QB. I sure as heck don't. But could the Panthers make a Super Bowl with an actual franchise QB and a bad o-line. Possibly.

I guarantee one of these QBs from this draft will be good and surprise doubters. Always is, usually. All we can do is hope we are the ones to get lucky if we draft a QB.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
