If I had to pick today, I’m going Young.

 

Id be cool with Stroud or Richardson, as well, but Young is my pick. I want no parts of Levis.

Richardson is the guy I actually want no parts of. Everything about him says huge bust. If he is smart he goes back to school and really doubles down on improving as a passer. It's fine to be a big athlete with a great skill set but you have to actually be able to pass the ball effectively at an NFL level. Currently he is arguably the worst QB in the SEC, which isn't a good starting point.

I would DEFINITELY take KJ Jefferson over Richardson. To me that isn't even a real discussion. Jefferson is worlds better than Richardson.

I doubt we pick in the top 2. If we do, I'd take the best QB available. But my favorite college QB to watch is Cam Ward of Washington state. Before that his junior college was Incarnate Word, where for 2 years, he was coached by Patrick Mahomes former offensive coordinator at Texas Tech. He is extremely talented just raw. He would need to sit for a year, IMO. Being on the West Coast, he is not very well known to fans in NC but is rising up draft boards and could go late 1st.

I like Ward a lot, but I think he stays another year.

It's way too early to pretend to know for certain. The combine will raise lots of questions and answer other ones. 

Young needs an official measurements but it does not look good on what could have been the best QB by far in this draft. Missing on Young and Stroud may be a blessing for us. A DE and then trade up Richardson is the best case scenario from me right now.

Not a tanker so I really don't feel to need to go out on a limb for any of these guys yet. First they all need to finish their practice careers without getting injured.

Young is further along as a passer, but that can be taught, size can’t.

Wouldn't count on that.

I've seen the "take a super athlete and teach him to be a passer" strategy fail as often as it's succeeded, probably more so to be honest.

I know our buddy Ellis believes in that idea but for me, if they don't have the passing skills already I don't care how athletic they are. I'm not interested.

Obviously you do have to have a good arm but I think it is more along the lines as a mental aspect to be a great QB. Young has the mental aspect.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
