I put panthro in the same spot as verge, both have called moves before they happened. 

Add in the david carr stuff, its past time to start listen.....no matter the amount of peanut butter i forced into my ear tunnel..

 

theres still time, but too much to get the sand hole started... 

There's been enough speculation out there linking the Panthers to every qb prospect that no matter which one is picked you will be right.

Let me tell you what I've heard from a source about who the Panthers are taking 1st overall. They say it's Bryce Young. But it could be CJ Stroud or Will Levis. But they say the wouldn't be shocked if it's Richardson in the final minutes.  But don't quote me on that.

If he is the pick I worry more about him finishing every season on IR than his ability at qb. I've always thought he's the best prepared of the class for the past 2 season's. I do not think he will be the best of the class long term in the nfl. I have concerns about the others as well but not so much about their chances of finishing a season. 

This success of taking Young will come down to him staying off IR for 17 games and through the playoffs.  That is a huge gamble even if he's a great qb. His injury risk is much higher than the other qb's at this level I don't care what any of you say. 

It's not just the injury risk - it's the style of play.

The mini-Mahomes comparison makes me cringe. Mahomes can play that way because he's got a ridiculous arm - that's the only reason those late throws work when he's freelancing. 

With Young a lot of those are going to be INTs or incompletions - he has an average NFL arm.

His best chance of success is to copy Brees imo.

Stroud gets talked about in terms of mobility and running but his lack of scrambling ability is overblown.  He is very accurate on the move as a passer.  He is very accurate period.  Extremely impressed with his pinpoint passing from the pocket.  Probably has a slightly better arm than Young.  I personally think Young is a better processor.  Bryce is special there IMO.  Young is just better at the position at pocket awareness and playmaking ability IMO.  Young is a magician in that regard but Stroud is very solid as well.

The funny thing is Stroud learned to throw/play the position by watching Drew Brees videos as @ladypantherstated in another thread.

I agree that there are other concerns with Young. He's been working almost exclusively from the shotgun and I know that is due to his size limitations. It allows him time to see the defense reaction better from the snap, which is never mentioned.  There's a lot to critique in his game that just worries me long term. I have as many concerns with the others but on different things that I will not go into here. Let's just say none of them give me confidence our problems will magically be resolved on draft night.

Whoever drafts him might want to take the QB Sneak out of the playbook. It’s a shame because it’s a high percentage play.

I think there will be some limitations to your playbook with him. I hope I'm wrong if he is the pick. Get ready for the hobbit and midget jokes also.  Especially if he gets hurt.

Oh yeah the first batted ball the Huddle will riot. However if we pass on him the Huddle will riot when he has game winning drives.

The Huddle will riot no matter who is drafted or not draft. The thing to remember is no matter what the Huddle will riot. All they need is a reason.  Any old reason will do.

One thing that bugs me on going with Young over Stroud is upside.  I really don’t think we have seen the best from Stroud and he can get stronger and refine his game a lot.  It’s a difficult call without question 

I think more focus is more on the now and not enough long term. That's how I'm looking at this. Who's going to have the longest career for me if everything else being equal? How much time do I need to invest to ensure that all is equal or better? Lots to consider when you invest this much capital in an unknown.

Huddle will bitch and moan about literally anything that happens.  Riot is a bit strong of a term. It's more like roosters crowing.

      Rams since you beat them already and they are 0-2 on the road against NFC South teams.

      Seahawks or Rams

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.

      I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.
