3.02 seconds in the NFL is an eternity to hold on to the ball. Add in his lack of arm strength and you're shrinking the field vertically and horizontally depending on the hash as well.

If I remember right, the league average is around 2.75 seconds.  Darnold's time to throw last year was north of 3 seconds, so our line was providing that time.  But, if opposing defenses conclude that the QB NEEDS that time to function, they are going to dial up the pressure.

As far as our rather impressive protection (time to throw) number, that was probably a function of not only our OL, but our tendency to be a run-first offense.  That semi-constant run threat gives pass rushers an initial pause which can be the difference between 2.75 seconds and 3 or better.

Drafting young basically limits your playbook on offense to compensate for his size in trade for some schoolyard plays when everything breaks down.

Stroud plays pro style ball and the playbook will not suffer.

If anything we should be deciding between Stroud and Richardson.

Which there are rumors of just that.

Deciding between Stroud and Richardson means picking Stroud.

Im not sure how deciding between Stroud and Young results in a different outcome then. One guy has the tools for the NFL, the other doesn't. At least AR has the tools he just needs polish.

We're not in a position to be "polishing" anyone.

That's a project for a team who has someone that can start for a couple of years while you're waiting on the rookie.

I don’t understand why give up that much stuff to move up.. Only to draft a project??

Why draft a guy you have to fix when 2 guys at the top are ready day 1.. No assembly required??

I don't think we did.

Have a really tough time imagining us drafting Richardson or Levis...

I also remember Darnold getting crushed a few times waiting so long...can't wait to see Young get bear hugged by a 6'5 340 lb dude.

Please. He may not be the best choice at 1 but a bust? He may get injured but come one. His decision making speed, field vision, and accuracy mean he no likely at all to be a bust. That person is Will Levis.  

So he is basically what we like to call a “glass cannon” very good gun/arm, but crappy armor/body& weight

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
