Young VS Stroud, the greatest Panthers debate ever?


GOAT

Recommended Posts

It's going to end up being one of four scenarios (this is assuming it's only a discussion between BY and CJ):

 

1) We couldn't lose. (both are great franchise qbs)

2) We couldn't win. (both bust)

3) What a huge mistake. We took the wrong guy and paid a ton for the privilege in the process.

4) We nailed it and dodged a huge bullet with our choice. Praise be!

 

Two of the four are perfectly acceptable. The other two are varying degrees of torture. Personally, and against most all historical trends, I think option 1 is going to be the result. But again, history would most certainly like a word with me. I want CJ, but I think we're going to be ok either way.

It actually makes me nervous because historically, whenever the Panthers have had a choice between two players they've tended to take the wrong one (Kerry Collins over Steve McNair, Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George, etc)

Of course, those were different Panthers organizations so I'm hoping this new version gets it right.

 

 

Not only were they two different organizations, they were our very first two drafts in franchise history...almost 30 years ago.  That would be quite a silly thing to be worried about with respect to the present day Panthers.

DJ Moore over Calvin Ridley?

CMC over Fournette?

I dont remember DJ over Ridley being a big deal. We picked low in that draft so you pick what falls to you. I think most people were happy with the DJ pick.

 

The Fournette and CMC draft we all wanted a RB or the TE that year but Fournette was the clear favorite here... because we all wanted to relive the Stewart days. CMC and Bryce Young both have similar vibes to the conversation. He's too small, he's not typical (white RB/small frame for a QB), yada yada. But thats why we all freaked out at CMC's workout photo's cause we could see him getting bigger as year 1 he went down at first contact a lot.

This has got to be the biggest debate, decision, discussion we've ever had in Panthers history.

Cam was a shoe in, Peppers was a shoe in at #1. 

Cam was not a shoe in. 

There were 3 groups of people in that draft 

Group #1: Jimmy Classen should be given more time cause of him being a top HS recruit - he just needs more help around him. 

Group #2: Cam Newton fans

Group #3: Locker/Gabbert fans. This was a larger contingent that you would think. Both these guys were better passers and more of the traditional QB profile. 

Cam was never a shoe in.

Now on to a small tangent on Cam vs AR15....
 

People love to compare them but honestly Cam coming out was in a very different situation. Cam DOMINATED at every level. I dont think he lost a game. He came into the draft as an unrefined passer but that was ok cause he dominated at every level. AR15 is not NEARLY at that level. His only similarity is simply his size and athletic profile.

I also remember a ton of Patrick Peterson fans

Marcell Dareus was another popular option.

#3 would just be brutal.

if any iteration of the panthers org/coaching staff should be trusted to make the decision, it's this one.

until i see otherwise...

All of this.

I know a lot of folks like to hold on to their trauma from previous ones, but every new regime (or romance? 👀) doesn't need to be held accountable for the previous one.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
