Adam Schefter: Bryce Young is believed to be favorite for #1 for the Panthers right now

As I said before. I don’t care if it is Young or Stroud. I think both could be franchise QBs. Stroud will be the more traditional QB that I think Reich would be more drawn to. He is more plug and play. 
Young is special and if it wasn’t for his height I think he would be really special. Any team that takes him will have to build the offense around his height.

That's an odd quote from schefter since sf didn't ultimately take Mac Jones.  I'm not sure I completely understand his point.

Think he is saying when they initially traded up the 49ers initially intended to get Mac Jones (which was the rumor)…..and over time ended up liking Lance more and changed their minds to him.

If the Panthers made this trade for Bryce Young after the combine, then I doubt they change their minds after his pro day.  Young is much better than Jones.

There was a comment made by Reich (I think) that (to me) is the biggest tell.  He called the QB a "point guard" which is probably the best way to describe Patrick Mahomes.   The QB who most closely draws that comparison in this draft is Bryce Young. 

I see Young, and I see Stroud.  It all depends on what you are going to ask the QB to do.

Counselor, I will stipulate that everything you posted here is admissible to the court.  The size issue for Young is a not an insignificant risk to me, making Stroud less of a risk.  Not the better QB, just less of an injury risk.

Charlie Campbell is the only one to watch imo. He has been on the money 100% for a very long time now on who the Panthers are going to draft. Right now, he says Young, but it could change.

Oof Kyler Murray comparison. No way we want him running the ball. The man is bound to get decleated sooner or later. See what happened to Darnold against the Falcons.

I am confused.  I go by one rule, and it requires being honest with myself:  I SUCK at picking QBs transitioning from college to the NFL---I am terrible at it.

Adam Schefter will probably go back and forth on his prediction between Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud from one week to the next.

I am still holding firm in my belief the Panthers select C.J. Stroud because he is the type QB that Reich has always liked.

However, if I am wrong, i will not be disappointed with the selection of Bryce Young. 

C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young are both potential franchise QB's, so it's a win-win, regardless of which one they chose.

Right--if we take Young, we have to maintain an offensive line like the Eagles this year, the Saints of the Brees years--he cannot run, he needs to check down or throw it away.  He can move within the pocket (Brees was the best I have ever seen at that) but he cannot take a hit.  Young may have the best intro into the NFL, but I just see Stroud as having the most successful, longest career.  Fun stuff to analyze.

If you read that article in the Panthers.com, the Georgia Players seem to heap the most praise on Stroud--and they should know.  They talked about Young's personality--and I think he is probably a great guy--but they described Stroud as calm, unflappable, accurate.  What else do you want in an NFL QB?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
