Bryce Young will be the best QB ever in Charlotte

This is my hot take. No disrespect Cameron Jarrell Newton. You changed the lives of us Panther fans. And Delhomme, man you came out of nowhere and put us on the map.

But Bryce, wee little ole Bryce. He's destined to be the black cat. Small. Almost too small. Very easily could be bad luck, but there is just something about the kid. He always manages to show up in the right moments.

Cam was hit or miss, some games he would take over and some games he would disappear. Almost Weird, when you think about it, with how big of a personality and electrifying he could be. But he fell short in the Superbowl..a common factor between him and Jake. Jake was lightning in a bottle. And while I love the guy, that's all I can say. They let us down. 

But Bryce was born for this. The last name. The timing, the situation, the boldness of our franchise to go after him. When nothing but doubt surrounding us we throw our entire franchise on the back of a kid who is smaller than the average man. It's almost heroic. The story sounds scripted.

But you know what. So was David in his battle vs Goliath. And just like David, Bryce will tackle this beast terrorizing our franchise since it's inception. And he's going to do it in the exact same way David did too. With precision. Davids pinpoint accuracy allowed him to hit Goliath square between his eyes, knocking him to the ground just long enough for David to decapitate him. Bryce has this same killer instinct. And we've never once witnessed this in Charlotte. His ability to read the defense, his commitment to being a student of the game. His pocket awareness. His football IQ is through the roof, and it all shows on tape. 

I admit, I was skeptical. I bought the pessimistic, and naive point of view that he might not be able to take a hit. But then I realized the kids been playing football his whole life. Made it to the top program in college football, who has had some huge names at the position..and left the school as the greatest QB to ever take a snap at such an iconic school. He's over adversity before. He's taken hits before. And he will again. As the Carolina Panthers New franchise QB. The one that finally takes care of business.

 

Oh yeah, and sorry. Cj just isn't that guy. Watch the film some more. And tell me who improvs more, who throws tds to the second read more. No disrespect to the guy..I wish him well. But if we take him it's a mistake.

And I'll hang on that take. And eat my plate of crowpie if it doesn't come to fruition. I'm all in on Bryce.

Lazy take on CJ.  If you watch enough film, you will see that he is proficient at looking off the safety and going through his progressions.  He also can fit the ball in a tighter window and is more willing to push the ball downfield. He makes it look effortless, which you are mistaking for easy.

My biggest problem with Bryce is not his size but his arm strength.  He doesn't have enough zip on his ball to fit it into tight windows, and deep ball placement is awful for a top 10 QB

This is just absolute nonsense. I’ll take the size crap. Not this lazy crap.

You can’t compare Jake’s Super Bowl performance to Cam’s.  The Ragin’ Cajun threw for over 300 yards with three TDs to zero interceptions.  He outplayed Tom Brady that night.  It definitely wasn’t his fault they came up short in that game.  I have the same amount of love for Cam, but he obviously wasn’t his best in SB 50.  As for Bryce Young…nah.

...kasay, that's all i'm going say

Not a lazy take. I wasn't dissecting film just having fun doing a write up.

CJs offense was more down the field. And I will give.you that. The man has very good.touch on deep balls. Very good. But I notice quite of a few of those type throws on a one step drop back. Which tells me it's a timing throw and not a read. Many of his throws down field looked that way.

Cam had his share of the responsibility too..he's not absolved. We can't sit here and act like he couldn't have gotten on that fumble.

If you're going to denigrate the only MVP in Panthers history you may want to adjust your expectations for whichever QB we take at 1.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
