He is trying to bulk up but will not throw and then not weigh at the pro day but will throw.  I mean whats the point of this charade when everyone knows what is going on?

Speculation is Young would rather throw to his own receivers who he already has chemistry with at his pro day. It makes sense that he would rather do that. A lot of players choose to do that. It just erks fans because they cannot watch them at their pro days.

Its more likely he has bulked up too much and it hinders his mobility and throwing motion.  Its basically what most of the analysts said leading up to this.  He will weigh over 200 but there is no way in hell that is his playing weight. So again I ask, whats the point of it all when everyone knows what you are doing?

I just cannot see him adding 25 pounds in that amount of time anyway.  Who can say what these kids are thinking. Most of them have been preparing for the draft for a year or more.  Their game film carry the most weight and the interview being what can make or break their draft position. The other drills really do not move the needle for the teams.

Young is one of those prospects that can get you fired a couple of different ways.

You draft him only to watch him get injured, you're fired.

You pass on him only to watch him go somewhere else and turn into a star, you're fired.

I don't envy the personnel guys.

IMO, you need to treat him the same way that you would treat most "injury likely" QB's.  Treat him like Lamar, Vick (mis treated), RG III, etc....hell, even Cam.

Get a good vet backup that can get you through 4-6 games per year, build the team specifically to that QB's strengths, plan on getting 5 years out of your 1st round selection, maybe 6 with a tag, and move on.

I'm coming around to the fact that getting a 10 year starter in the NFL these days is a total and complete crap shoot.  May be smarter to go for the 4-5 year player, and start over again....if they turn into a 10 year starter like Allen, maybe you continue on with him.

That's how I'd handle Young.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Off season talk.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
