Actually I came away with Young from that description.  He’s small but a tough MF.  He’s stayed in calm while taking some big hits (see Tennessee game)

a playmaker,  the way he’s used his legs is like a gamer.

and one of the best pure decision makers to come out in a while.

which hit all his points.  He’s just small.

Exactly. Which coincidentally may make him fall in the draft.

Remember Daboll with the Giants last year decided rather than just hiring people he knew, he was going to try to get the best fits for what they wanted to do.

I wonder if Reich might consider a similar approach.

That’s pretty much what he said in the interview

They've already interviewed a bunch of coordinator candidates from the way it seems and other candidates we don't even know about that weren't announced publicly. Surprised the Panthers were that diligent interviewing assistants before the head coach was even hired. Does make me wonder if Reich was the guy all along....

Probably going to be the best coach we've had. I wasn't excited for him early on because it wasn't a flashy name and I didn't know much about him. The more I have read and heard, the more I'm convinced this was the best hire. He wants to be here unlike the last guy. He wants to hire the best NFL coordinators possible and he knows just about everyone. Unlike the last guy who just brought up his NCAA buddies. I'm pumped. This feels like a homerun and I finally feel like we are going to be moving in the right direction.

His answer on quarterback:

1. Toughness (mental and physical)

2. Decision maker

3. Accurate passer

4. play maker / elevate team in key moments (3rd down, red zone, 2 minute)

5. X factor / leadership

This should provide a rubric for looking at the rookie QB class.

Tanner McKee come on down.

Well if you believe the reports, at least early on it was Ben Johnson.

Pretty interesting that Reich had already been in contact with (and apparently received answers from) several coaches he's interested in hiring during the interview process.

Said before it might mean the task of filling the staff won't take long, but there would still be external factors like whether assistant's teams were in the playoffs and such.

1. I think he’s gonna love Levis and Young on the toughness aspect. Both of those guys have done some pretty good stuff while being banged up. 
 

2. Big ding to Levis and Richardson here while Young gets a big bump. He should also really like the tape of what Stroud did vs GA. 
 

3. Young is heads and shoulders above the rest here. 
 

4.  AR probably gets most of his consideration from this trait. Young and Stroud not far off either. 
 

5. By all accounts All four of these qbs are solid leaders.

The only one I would say really fits that mold of the top 4 qbs is Young.  Accuracy and decision making are literally the main weaknesses of the next 3 prospects.

You know who that does sound like?  At least as far as the media and everyone else says at least.  The old man Tom Brady.  I do think Reich will want to go with a veteran qb and I think at some point in the offseason Brady to carolina may get a little buzz at least.  I dont know how I feel about it though.

None of us know how much time we have left with our family which is the most valuable part of life, not jobs, not money, not being a millionaire or a billionaire because most of them would give it all up for their children, I would. I'm so happy his family finally gets to be together again.

Now, back to the grind, make the NFCS pay dearly for their insolence.

Thanks. Mr. Scot posted the Sam interview in another thread. It's a great interview that gives you insight on what kind of team he intends to build.

Could someone post the link to that interview? Hard to thumb through all the old threads/posts...

It was on the Twitter verse.  You need special clearance to see it. But seriously, it's/they are posted all in the Reich threads multiple time.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we can expect six QBs taken in the top 12 from here on out each draft?  Wanna wager that won't happen next year?

      WAYY too early Top 53 Man Roster Depth Chart

      Excellent.  I think BC is also the emergency 3rd string swing T, but maybe he needs to focus on C considering Corbett could be gone by 2025. The only people I have seen concerned about center are the experts and fans--they seem to be content here, but they did sign a C in UDFA.  I think they view Corbett as a seasoned veteran who has the ability to function as a C.  In fact, his college coach felt that is where he'd play in the NFL...I dunno.  I think Willie Drew (UDFA) could surprise you and take a CB spot.  Probably has a 30% chance.  Jamison almost made the Niner's roster in 2022, and he was decent here.  He is only 24-25 years old, so with Drew, we have depth.  Jamison should compete with Hill for the Nickel duties, and maybe Drew could play behind Horn and Smith-Wade to be the big nickel.  With the way nickel is used, we could carry 6 CBs.  Dane will start across from Horn and Hill as the nickel.  His spot is not secured.  I wonder if we keep Jammie Robinson on the roster--but you went with probabilities here, as you should.   Thurman (DT) played surprisingly well last season and he should stay a backup.  Tuttle may need to be moved to DE-I don't know.  I use PFF not because it is an exact science--it is somewhat subjective and misleading at times--but it is the most accurate attempt to evaluate performance available to us.  I think Ray is 26, so he should be performing at a higher level--he is basically in the bottom third, along with Shy Tuttle.  At OLB, Barno outperformed DJ Johnson but got fewer snaps.  Both should be safe this year, behind Wonnum and Clowney.  Leota played in 8 games and was on nearly half of the special teams plays, but he got snaps at Edge as well, earning an impressive rating in limited play.  He may be back on the PS at the beginning of the season, but he held the edge better than anyone else, imo.  I have no idea what to think about Chaisson, but after 3 seasons, it is time to perform at a high level or get out of football.  If he performs, the former first rounder COULD team with Wonnum, Barno, Johnson, and Leota to be a decent edge group.   2023 PFF Grades - Defense POS Player Grade POS Rank Snaps % Snaps DI Derrick Brown 90.1 4th of 130 940 89% DI Nick Thurman 63.4 48th of 130 367 35% DI LaBryan Ray 54.6 84th of 130 355 34% DI Shy Tuttle 52.9 91st of 130 549 52% Edge Amari Barno 64.0 NA 188 20% Edge Eku Leota 65.6 NA 77 15%             Edge DJ Johnson 50.4 NA 231 22%                         CB Dane Jackson 64.5 NA xxx 50% CB Jaycee Horn 84.1 NA 276 26%             CB Troy Hill 62.4 73rd of 127 494 47%             S Xavier Woods 80.3 12th of 95 796 75%             S Sam Franklin 58.0 NA 289 27%

      Coach killer. If Bryce at least showed drive, a temper your friends were afraid of… someone may take a flier on him.  If it’s last year’s Bryce part 2, then arena league it is.
