Best-case, it's Stroud throwing to ditch-diggers and overpaid USFL tight ends. 

Worst-case, it's all of that but Levis.

I mean that might be the case if FA and the draft didn’t exist. You act like we’re gonna add a QB and nothing else.

All signs are pointing to it being Stroud, with Young also being possible. 

That's wishful thinking. Nothing's been proven, and Reich might have a hard-on for Levis. If Stroud is the pick, OK. Still shouldn't have given up Moore. If Young is the pick, shouldn't have traded to 1.

Nothing is going to be proven until draft night. If you’re looking for them to announce who they’re picking right now then you’re going to come up wanting. I’m bummed about losing DJ but I understand that it was all part of the calculus of obtaining a franchise QB. I’m going to withhold judgement until all FA and draft moves have been made.

I had an expectation that if you're trading to No. 1, you know who you want and you don't mind leaking it.

This is the first time in NFL history that's not been the case, and since it's a David Tepper-owned team, it's not surprising in the least.

it is what it is has to be the most quintessential bit of coachspeak of all time.

i'm opening my mouth, and noises are coming out, and the noises even form words, but i'm not saying anything.

I mean, it was maddening at the time but it was a truly beautiful gift to all Panther fans in the long term.

That's not a lot to give up for the #1 pick. WRs are easier to get than QBs. We have messed around with the QB situation for years and it hasn't worked. Now we have OUR choice. Not whoever is left over. We control this draft. 

I would have expected to give up more to get to #1 from #9. 

I feel like i am one of the more pessimistic fans on here, and I like the trade. It means our staff knows who they want, which brings me a lot of comfort because i'm not sure. There was no guarantee that we would get one of the top four qb's at 9 or that it might be AR if we did. I switched my mind and now think it CJ at 1 not Bryce. Either way we now know we got our qb so let's go get some free agents.

You may be right, but I feel they DO know who they want.  But they are being smart enough not to say because that leaves open the possibility of still getting him with a trade down.

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Honestly, irrespective of Bryce, this is my hope for Canales. I hate hearing about him being a "QB whisperer." Because I don't give a rat's ass about him saving Bryce's career. Bryce either proves to be worth what we gave up for him, or it's next man up. I'm just excited to have a young, innovative offensive mind.
