I’m fine with either. I see the pluses and minuses with both. Stroud is definitely safer.

I think Young has a much more appealing skillset when comping to the top end QBs in the league right now though. I’m not very worried about his size. 

I don’t blame us if we are worried about it though, I think Stroud is going to be a very competent QB we can win a lot of games with.

Please tell me that the Panthers will not waste multiple first and second round picks on a 185 pound QB with an average, at best arm. Processing speed will mean nothing when he is consistently ragdolled and a constant visitor to the concussion protocal.

Size matters!

I’m not gonna pick one so either-hopefully Panther leaders know more than I lol. 

I do have a prediction for first year performance whichever teams they go to:

Young - more batted balls than stroud (per game avg)

Stroud - more interceptions than Young (per game avg)

That my friends you can take to the bank.

So let’s get the tallest, fattest QB in the draft *eye roll*

Someone said, "Size is a skill". Kind of a funny way to put it, but you get the point. It absolutely matters. Doesn't mean it is a disqualifier, but it plays a part.

I do not think this staff will trade up to #1 for a project--all indications are the QB will start very early--so eliminate AR15 and Levis.

If the QB most ready to start day 1 is a factor, I think Young gets the nod.  If they are looking for a secure 10-20 year pocket passing QB with few questions about size, obviously Stroud gets the nod. 

They showed a list of the QBs Reich has worked with, and most of them were 6'4" or so--so does than indicate a type?  Maybe, but they also underpeformed--most were over the hill--so who knows?

When I hear the coach and GM talk, they tend to repeat the same words when asked questions separately-probably a good idea of the things they talk about in private.  One word I keep hearing?  PROCESSING.  They are more interested in the speed between the ears than the speed from zero to 40.  Does that mean the size of the QB is not an issue? No.  Does that mean Stroud cannot process?  No.

Heard Todd McShay discussing how quickly Stroud processes and then shift to hit WRs with dimes. We have not seen that around here in a long time.

I like both players a lot but I think Stroud would be the better pick. He may not be where Young is mentally but it doesn't mean he's a slouch and that he can't grow to be as good or better at processing the field. 

Young looks great but he also looks like he's close to his peak. And his size could really be a serious problem if he gets injury prone. If Taylor Heinecke was 6-4 he would be a top 10 QB, but he's not and he gets hurt all the time.

      what do you like do in winston salem

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
