Don't feel bad, we all are. So are NFL talent evaluators. There are busts and steals every year and every draft class would look a LOT different of you could redraft them a few years later.

I dont think its as much talent evaluation as it is system/coaching/development.  I mean everyone on Gods green earth could see Josh Allen has all the tools he just needed a detailed 1-2-3 year plan on how to get better.  He goes to 80% of the other teams and his ass is out of the league by year 4.  The first couple of years are crucial for a young qb and I think we are in a perfect spot to try the same

How many QBs have made the type of accuracy improvements Allen has though? It's easy to say in hindsight that all he needed were massive mechanical overhauls but those almost never pan out. You need both. You need good evaluation and good coaching.

I think many folks were worried about his injury past, only to watch him get injured again, while looking awful in the preseason. 

I liked him a lot. I fell for him as a qb when he had a really bad game against LSU i think his sophmore year. This is from way before the draft but its how i felt. I even said id be his huckleberry. Decent review of hooker on that site too if you search him.

No thanks. Non contact ACL injuries are a big red flag.

The ACL injury is the biggest red flag for me. I would have drafted him late first or early 2nd before the injury. Now he will be a longer range product. I like the OP’s thinking, just don’t think the Panthers have time to wait. I guess we all are thinking about the next Brock Purdy.

Sure he can. If the new regime's gameplan is to "pray for Maye".

We do need to give him a chance. You cannot go off of how he looked last year with the 4th string blocking for him during training camp. He never had a chance, it was all hype about the other quarterbacks. If we dismiss Corral without giving him a chance we are doing so at our own peril.

The ACL can tear with both contact and noncontact maneuvers. Approximately 70 percent of injuries are noncontact and occur when the athlete is trying to change directions, slow down or land from a jump.

You made me Google--does that change your mind?  I saw Thomas Davis (at OTAs) injure his ACL (the second one) I happened to be looking right at him--and he was doing agility/warmup drills.  Full Disclosure:  I am not a medical doctor.

No QB looks good without the OL doing its job--they were horrible.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
