It will move back after tomorrow.  I bet you could get odds in that too.

If the site you’re using has a cashout option you could just dump a bunch of money on Young in anticipation of the odds shifting after tomorrow and then take a cashout

There’s going to be a very noticeable difference in arm strength going from Stroud’s to Young’s pro days back to back 

No there isn’t.  Young is the better player and we all know it except you.  
 

Wait and Vegas.

I'll have to take your word for it.  I'm a poker player myself and its just for beer money.  Haven't played that in years.

I like Stroud better, but even if Stroud’s arm strength is better it doesn’t make him better than Young. Young is a processor and playmaker with capable but not elite arm strength and there is nothing wrong with that.

The poll results shows "we all" as in more of the Huddle believe Stroud is the better player.

this new era of wanna be twitter talking heads that write for some unknown sports blog just throwing poo at the wall and seeing what sticks is so annoying.

"the sources I know say ____"

if it hits, they get to retweet and add to their rep.

if it misses? not a peep. Remember the Deshaun Watson crap from this account?

"my source says it'll be today guys!"

claiming their "source" says Bryce is going number one is a really safe bet. that poo will probably stick.

this person had us taking Joey Porter Jr. in their first mock of the year just FYI.

let's work together and stop giving these sort of accounts the attention and credit they desire.

we're all out here just guessing.

I was pretty on point with the Watson stuff idk. People bring this up for some reason, that whole thing was a debacle.

As I have explained previously, this was a no trade up mock and I was asked to make it interesting. I have never not had Carolina trading up for a quarterback. My mock 2.0 with trade ups I had them making the move to number one to take Young back in February.

Young has a good enough arm to make all the throws, but Stroud was throwing dots today.

Yeah Young's arm is fine. His touch and accuracy are what separates him. The way he layers footballs on the move is unreal.

    • 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.
