The 4/5th best QB in 2024? Weird meme arsenal

Ahlers is in this draft and already a 4-5 year senior.

Acidentally voted Bryce but I meant Stroud. It'll likely remain Stroud.

I don't think Bryce will be bad, I just think he's a lighter QB who's playstyle is gonna naturally put him at risk for more hits. I'm also not convinced improvisational QB play isn't on a downswing, and it's way more likely for a shorter QB to want to roll the pocket.

Oh thought that was Quinn Ewers.  

Realizing the gif/meme thing is just a wonky have-fun type spiel, you can proceed.

There's too many here taking this Stroud/Young mess too seriously. So, I might as well joke around even if I'm the only one finding it funny.

I would have said Young before we ever traded for the number 1 pick, and I still think he can be great, but over time I've come to think Stroud is the pick to make. I just think he tics so many boxes of what you want in a prototypical QB, and I think he could end up being special. But so many guys have looked the part prior to stepping on an NFL field, so what the heck do I (or anyone else) know? Let's hope it turns out. I won't be disappointed if we take Young either, to be fair. Either way, it's exciting times for Panthers fans, and that's got a value all its own. So, I'm just happy that there's this buzz of hope and excitement around the team due to the #1 pick and all the coaching changes, etc. It might sink like the Titanic (I don't think so), but what a glorious ship to view while it's still in port.

I still prefer Stroud. These guys are going to get forced to play from the pocket from certain game plans and I like Strouds chances better. Standing still Stroud probably has a 10 yard advantage on the deep ball, while still having no problem with touch on shorter stuff

Young or AR I can live with.

The draft is the easy part. It's owning things years from now that will hurt feelings. If we take Young we need Stroud to be mid at best. Same with Richardson. And vice versa. Do not get it twisted. There will be Panthers fans looking at these other QB's for many many months to come. Hell who knows Levis could be alright. The league can be strange.

It should be Bryce Young. He is the right choice. But I'm afraid our coaching staff won't see it that way.

Not hopping off of Stroud over a combine or pro days lol. He’s been my guy.

I more vote against a particular candidate. Voting for Stroud. Lesser of the two potential evils.

I think of all the teams with high draft picks looking for a QB right now, our coaching staff gives a rookie the best chance to become a franchise guy.

No idea. Last time I hated our first overall pick but I can’t hate any one of these guys.

Bryce Young: mini Mahomes 

CJ Stroud: Burrow with a better arm

I prefer Bryce but will be happy with Stroud as well

I'm giving you the side eye for this remark though considering you've been doing your best Rippadon impression spamming the same joke about us taking randoms with #1 because more folks have liked Stroud than your boy.
