What do people think about Bryce Young’s size compared to Steve Smith?

Steve just had that dawg in him lol. 

hard to compare though, receivers usually getting hit by CBs and get to see it more and run into them as much as getting run into. QBs usually get hit by 250+ pound men going full speed while standing still.

Dear football gods, please let the Panthers pick the right one. We already were 1 pick from Herbert and you teased us with only 7 truly healthy seasons of Cam, so give us a fuging break for once. It would be nice to look back with my youngest (born here, big fan) in a decade and go hot damn we pulled the Manning over the Leaf.

Does CJ get a pass for his struggles throwing left yesterday? Neither guy was perfect but they both showed everything they needed to and they both looked great.

It comes down to which ones are more fixable. Ill take the one that struggles on the left. Minor correction fixes that. Long passes only get harder in the NFL. I wouldnt mind neither but Stroud is just better with his ball placement.

There’s no comparison. There are a bunch of HOF WRs on the “small” size. Young is on the small side of even the smaller QBs. I don’t know if he will have an issue or not, just that Smith’s size is so not relevant and might be the perfect example of apples to oranges.

Recap?

Pretty low key Pro Day, enjoyed how Bryce managed the calls and his receivers the whole day.

Basically perfect Mid and Short range

Didnt connect with Burton on 2-3 deep balls but 2 should have been caught and the third was a really nice ball imo.

Hit the net on the roof on what would have been the most interesting throw of the day.

Thought he had nice velocity on most his throws and the did a lot to simulate defenders in his face, I really enjoyed a number of beautiful throws he made about 15-20 yards deep toward the sideline.

Definitely no real fireworks and the deep balls will be debated (thought they showed what they needed to) but overall it was a low key businessman like affair. 
 

Did some under center stuff, PA stuff, Shotgun, etc, felt like a checklist.

Those deep passes were decent though, confusing why we’d hammer a guy for throwing catchable deep balls and not a guy who was missing passes within ten yards. 
 

Note neither were bad, just feels like people are watching these with their biases already in place.

No one is going to clown the Panthers for drafting Young

He’s been the consensus QB1 for 2 years now. Everyone and their dog thinks he’s special their only concern is his size. 

It’s a lot easier to defend picking Bryce and having that blow up in your face than passing on Bryce and having that blow up in your face imo

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
