Are the Panthers unsure of who their #1 is or is it just a smokescreen…

This gives them control, regardless.  We are getting a really good QB, regardless.  I can make an argument for either, although, based on what I know and have seen, I prefer Stroud.  

These contracts are for 3 years--I get the feeling that they want stability around this new QB--and they plan on starting him.  Only Dalton has a 2 year deal

The most common criticisms by people seem to be the talent that Stroud played with. I'd agree if it looked like he danced around and just waited for guys to pop open but if you watch him, you see a lot of timing, 1-2-3 and the ball is out, and smart decisions, particularly when he was playing UGA. He also played 30 games in college which, as it turns out, matters when it comes to the NFL. Brock Purdy was a 4 year starter at Iowa State and it showed.

I will concede the others could be concerning but he was all business at the combine and blew people away with how serious he was and how mature he was in his interviews.  Furthermore I think that is his leadership style is to lead by example and be the first one in last one out type of dude.  Pretty sure I read all his teammates love him

I don't really care one way or the other at this point. I just remember seeing stuff being posted about it.

It should be Young . In a vacuum, Stroud is the better QB right now but Young just has...'it'. The way he moves around in the pocket and zips the ball is  Mahomes lite. We KNOW that Young can produce with subpar talent, we have no idea what Stroud is capable of playing with crap WRs, crap line etc. 

Tepper seems like a guy that loves to make splashes and wave his dick around. That is probably why there are rumors that he prefers Young

Can you imagine how busy the coaches and FO staff have been?  There was the HC selection process.  Then there was filling out all the staff which took a while.  They must all be watching film 20 hrs a day and reading scouting reports to evaluate players, free agency and develop a tentative plan for the draft.  Besides that the coaches are working together to develop the schemes on their side of the ball which also affects player selection.  I am sure there are strong opinions on the QB pick and I would think there are 2 or maybe 3 QBs they feel like are above the rest.  The smart thing to do would be for them to take a deep dive into these prospects to solidify the fav.  So, is there a fav now?  Probably.  Could that change...might. IMO.

After watching some more of Levis' highlight videos, it dawned on me that his "highlight" out-route throws and quick hits are gonna be easy pick-sixes in the NFL. He stands tall in the pocket, but the narrow escapes his passes had in college will make DBs salivate. In short: this dude is gonna throw a lot of interceptions and very few touchdown passes.

It's exactly like trading Muhsin Muhammad, two firsts and more for the rights to move up and grab Randy Fasani No. 1 in 2002.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
