Shortly after that year's draft, Lynch told Albert Breer about how he and Shanahan had made an agreement between them to not make a final choice up to a certain time.

When the day came, Shanahan went up to Lynch and said something along the lines of "So are you ready to draft Trey?" Lynch's response was "Are you f--king with me?" because he'd come to the same conclusion.

Let's just say I believe Albert Breer both has better contacts and is far less full of bullsh-t than you so yeah, I believe him 😄

Cool if you actually believe that

It's called reading. You should try it 😄

Teams are pretty much always very loose with information after the draft. And hell, why shouldn't they be? It's done. Smokescreens and all the other bullsh-t don't matter after the picks have been made.

I think this bit is a little misleading. They’re trying to avoid group think and letting each guy do his own thought process before they share their thoughts. I think it’s smart.

I agree.  It sounds as if Reich is making the choice, but he is actually saying, "I am making the choice, but I will not know his preference until 10 days (roughly) before the draft.  I would add that I am sure they will report that they were on the same page.

I agree, this is a very good approach.

I’m sure Reich will listen to input from the rest of the team. He hired people he respects for a reason. If he’s close between Stroud and Young, someone else might be able to add something he didn’t think of, and that might sway his opinion. At least that is how a good leader should do it, and I think he is one.

More than one source has said that Jim Caldwell is going to have a big voice in these decisions.

If thats true then you have to factor in him going to the SB with pocket passer manning and going to the playoffs with pocket passer Stafford.  As a coordinator he worked with Flaco and won the SB.

 

I think its fair to say he has a type.

The two players reported to be our top choices both fit that type.

Young is most certainly not in the mold of the pocket passers of Stroud, Manning, Stafford or Flacco. 

A passer isn't defined by his mobility... or the lack of it.

The ability to read, process, make the right decision and throw an accurate pass are what define them.

Pocket mobility is a good thing. Being a threat to run is also nice but not necessary.

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
