We need a ‘Point Guard’

We’ve discussed this a little, but I think it’s obviously a little more magnified with the #1 pick. 
 

In Josh McCown’s evaluation of Bryce Young, he referenced his style of play as being a ‘Point Guard’. 
 

In Reich’s presser, he mentioned needing a QB that was a ‘Point Guard’. 
 

Do we have our answer already as to who we are picking? Or was this just a coincidence?

Going on just that, it would seem that the Panthers could be leaning toward Bryce Young but a common sense approach would lead one to think they  select C.J. Stroud.

Not all point guards play the same, could still be either Young or Stroud.
 

The words about Young were just public prior to him being a QB coach. I don’t think that means that McCown doesn’t think Stroud has that same “point guard” type ability and has likely used the same verbiage talking about him to Reich.

McCown said at the end of Stroud’s evaluation that people probably have Bryce as the #1 pick but by draft time that may change to Stroud depending on the needs of the team and the type of offense.

Personally I think we need a top flight midfielder, or maybe even a solid bowler.

 

 

Why do basketball commentators insist on using the term quarterback to describe point guards, while football commentators go on about point guard like quarterbacks?

My theory is a lame attempt to mask their limited abillity to describe the position using the actual terms for the game their commenting on, which is, not to put too fine a point on it, the thing they are actually paid to do and largely suck at.

Young is the better QB. I don’t think that is in question. The question is he durable enough for a long NFL career?

 

If Young leads the Panthers to back to back winning seasons and a superbowl win, then he could only last 3-5 years and it would have been worth the trade.

That’s the dilemma right? Do you take the Better QB who is most likely going to have injury issues, or do you take a ‘lesser’ QB who is less likely to have those issues?

I’ve been on the Stroud train since the fall, but I’m starting to think the Panthers are going to go Young because of his intelligence.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
