This is a really bad take. Watch the TN game if you need more film of him making great decisions and throws under duress 

I don’t need to watch some other game. He has plenty of talent. He also has one of the best O-lines in college. That will not be the case in the NFL. I have watched him all year.

I did watch it. I am saying, the announcers are polishing his knob, but KS has no ability to bring pressure. Young is a great QB, but I highly doubt his success will translate to the NFL. It is not his size, it is his decision making ability under duress.

Then you did see him under pressure, make a few bad decisions/mistakes, and make some good ones as well.

Tagovailoa suffered a dislocated hip with a posterior wall fracture (along with a broken nose and concussion) in the game against Mississippi State. 

Yes I was at that game. But that’s kind of my point. Tua has had tons of concussion issues and even had one coming into the NFL. Could be wrong, but I don’t think Bryce has had any head issues

You: BY has all day I wanna see him under pressure 

Me: go watch the Tenn game where he put up 455 with 2 TD and no int while being absolutely destroyed all game by SEC players 

You: that doesn’t count

For me it’s tricky because yeah, you obviously want to see those things but if he does show those things it’ll cost us a couple 1’s to trade up and get him. 

So I kind of want to see him struggle so it leads to more questions and him falling down boards and falls into our laps. 

But then again, I thought for sure after Fields put on a show against Clemson he’d be long gone by our pick 

But if he struggles again versus elite competition what sets him apart from Sam Darnold? If everything has to go perfect for him in order for him to succeed we already have that in Darnold.

There's a difference between "everything needs to go perfect for him to put up gaudy numbers" and "everything needs to go perfect for him to complete 14 passes in a game".  I'm a big Darnold supporter in his current role, but Stroud's ceiling is as high or higher than Darnold's was pre-draft, and he comes without any "damage" from past seasons.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
