Stroud is a physical marvel, much like Cam, but a better passer. Threat to run with the ball in his hands but prefers to throw, has elite arm strength and ideal height. 

All the reasons I will be disappointed if he is not the pick.

I mostly just put people on ignore unless they start straight up harassing me like one other dude on this forum.

Yeah I like Stroud I think but there is nothing to back that up.

He doesn't have elite arm or ideak height and I've not seen anybody suggesting that's what his strengths are other Ryan whoever above said that. None  of that is Strouds appeal

you're smart enough to know there's a difference between flack and criticism and straight up insults, which have always received a warning or time-out on the Huddle.

Well yeah ... my point is we shouldn't go easy on Verge just because she's female. We're allowed to say her sources might be BS and her past info has led to nothing.

Anything with ill will toward her, well yes ... time-outs or bans. That's your job. Or Linville's.

Young is not throwing this week. He is throwing at Alabama's 2nd pro day in April. Some have speculated that he is still recovering from an injury, but not sure that is legit. Perhaps he just wants to make sure he has the last impression. 

Since when do colleges have more than 1 pro day ?!?!

I would say Stroud has an elite arm.

Again, he plays a lot like Dak Prescott. In the next month he needs to prove he can move around outside the pocket and still connect with dead-on accuracy to be the pick... I do believe the Panthers are seriously considering Young as the best prospect because of his elite out of the pocket ability, which is one of the things that translates into superstardom in the NFL.

That said, Stroud is still a good #1 pick because of his elite ball placement and throw velocity. I think we can win with either.

He arguably has elite accuracy. Pretty much every single analysis says good but not elite arm strength..

 

I'm an not knocking Stroud. He is my preference. I'm just pointing out that the poster seemed to be exaggerating Stroud beyond what anybody else is saying. 6'3 is good height. It's not ideal.

Well, what's ideal? Taller doesn't necessarily mean better, it could just mean "statue!"

Pat Mahomes is 6'2". So is Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson. Burrow is 6'4", Hurts is 6'1". I mean, "ideal" surely seems subjective. Brady is 6'4", Peyton Manning is 6'5", Montana is 6'2, Elway is 6'3", Favre is 6'2", Bradshaw is 6'3", Marino is 6'4, Warner is 6'2, and Dan Fouts was 6'3.  I would say 6'3" is as ideal a height as any.

Median height was 6'4" a few years ago.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
