It's good to hear Reich address the durability concern. Folks that have an infatuation with Bryce Young will hear Barry Sanders and have hearts in their eyes like Bugs Bunny but most will understand the point being made. And you can argue why he retired but even as good as he was he ended the ride at a decade. And that's as an RB. It's easy for one of us to say fug it take the risk but it's not our careers at stake. Tough choice for Reich. No pressure buddy.

Damn concussions...  I think they ended Luke early too.  My main point was there IS a concern with durability and size as Reich stated Young's durability is a concern.  Yeah it's easy to find players of normal size that have injury histories because there are so many of them.

If I remember correctly, Morgan had only one injury in college and that was minor.

It's just damn near impossible to predict that sort of thing.

So Reich has said Young’s height and durability ARE a concern. Maybe posters on here can stop pretending like it’s not..

The question is do his intangibles outweigh his physical limitations. They are off the charts so they might.

If Fitt and Reich are acknowledging the size concern and if they draft young and he gets hurt thats a wrap for them.   Seems like stroud is the pick.

Ill be more intrigued then pissed

I will be thinking why they bothered trading up to 1st for a play that definitely would have been there at a less expensive place to move up or at 9. 
1st isn’t a place to draft a project player that may not start for a long, long time. If ever. 
We aren’t the 49ers. We aren’t a team that can contend while out QB situation is in the pits.

I'll match that with a Luke Kuechly on the other side.

Everybody in the NFL by trade should be instinctual by now.

There was only one Luke Kuechly. I'm not sure of anyone else in the league that is diagnosing plays to the extent Luke did, and that was because he was a film junkie and watched it daily.

Also that has nothing to do with sensing when someone is around you or getting close to you. 

One of Bryce's best traits is having a great feel for where everyone is on the field at any given time. He avoids pressure within the pocket better than anyone in the class. 

Tom Brady is the GOAT in large part due to his unbelievable pocket awareness/manipulation. Dude moved in the pocket better than anyone pretty much ever. He was hardly ever sacked because of the way he was able to sense pressure and avoid it while in the pocket.

I'll admit, Richardson was super interesting as a watch.  Mega talented athlete, played better than his stats, but he's no Cam Newton.  Cam started one year at auburn and was the best player in college that year AND won a National Championship.  Thats part of what made Cam  the #1 pick in 2011.

I just don't see it with AR.  I think he's a great talent, and is going to be very entertaining as a player.  Do I think he's going to turn the Panthers into the "it" team?  Probably not.  I feel like this is smoke from Frank.

It's going to be between Young and Stroud and I'm completely happy with either one.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
