Sure, he was at Bama so they weren't dog crap, but let's not kid ourselves that Stroud didn't have the better supporting cast this past year, both at receiver and on the line. Recruiting rankings don't mean much if they aren't playing up to potential on the field. 

And Young's stats dropped off considerably when his WRs left - if we're playing that game (Stroud's didn't).

Aren't your whole shtick, trust the professionals (Panthers scouts, front office and the coaches). Don't need any tape for that 🤣😂

Still need it to form my own opinion 😄

My thing with the pros is that they're always going to be smarter than us. That's not their job though. Their job is to be smarter than their competitors.

Hell, Marty Hurney was a professional. He just wasn't very good compared to other professionals.

... Because Stroud was still throwing to better receivers? This past season he was throwing to Marvin Harrison Jr, the guy who would be the consensus #1 receiver if he were eligible this year and JSN, a first round player coming out this season. Last year he had Olave and Wilson, both first round receivers. Young had Williams last season and not much this year.

Young was carrying his team this year, whereas OSU was just a better all around team. Yes Young's numbers took a hit in terms of volume stats, but his y/a, ay/a, and QB rating are pretty much identical. He was just as efficient with a worse team surrounding him.

You can be a fan of Stroud over Young, but even the staunchest of Stroud supporters even admit Stroud had a better supporting cast. The argument that Young's receivers made him just seems completely disingenuous based on everything.

JSN was out with a hamstring this year.  He had 5 total catches for the season.

I'm ok with Bryce being his favorite but we need better reasons. Alot of development happened past the Summer of 2022 an will continue to happen. Making that assessment off a glorified summer pro-day is an incomplete assessment. I think that one of the things that people aren't thinking about regarding CJ is that they think he can't get better. As if he has reached his ceiling. 

Coaches believe they can develop Will Levis and Anthony Richardson... but for some reason its like CJ has peaked. None of these guys is a perfect prospect. For the all of the things that Bryce Young does well, there are ill-advised throws and inconsistent arm strength on the deep ball. 

I believe all of these guys can get better. I think Bryce can get heavier on an NFL nutrition plan... but he wont get much taller. That can't be developed. I dont think Bryce's size is going to impact him as much as others may think because he's played in the SEC but its definitely apart of his evaluation.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
