College performance, ultimately doesn’t matter. You scout for what you think they can do as a pro. 

It 1000000% matters. Believing a guy is going to magically improve because he touches an NFL field and faces way harder competition is not realistic. Just because it has happened before does not mean it is the recipe for success. People like to use Josh Allen as an excuse like he wasn't manhandling linebackers and launching the football 70 yards in the air. He got put into a perfect NFL system for him and developed great. It happens sometimes. The bottom line is that the overwhelming majority of successful NFL players were also successful in college.

Nah, he called McCown if I remember right.  And I would link it if I could remember the thread, but I don't now...  it was a guy who popped up around the same time, username is Leaky Faucet.  He said we were gonna assess the QB class after the combine and then commit to moving up and deciding what path to take with the vet options.

got it - thanks. This coming week is the week that the trades convos start to get heavy. Typically teams want to know where they would be drafting before entering FA

According to our insider here, the staff isn't waiting for pro days.  Their mind will be made up after tomorrow and they'll make their move accordingly.

I hope it's AR, and not just because of the combine...  the combine just enhanced his value.

My only question is what exactly does that mean? Do we identify a specific guy? Because that means going to #1  Do we identify say three guys that we'd be thrilled to have and that means moving up to at least #3? Are we just trying to decide if we're still in the market to try to trade for #1?

I don't know.

Guys like Ken Dorsey would have been first rounders off their college production.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
