Yep, if they are seriously dialed in on Young and he is the pick why waste 3 of the 30 visits bringing in the other 3 qbs?

The NFL wants money, ratings, and drama leading up to the draft. Perhaps they're giving Tepper a kickback to keep the questions going.

Don’t mind me I won’t stand in the way of the downplaying of another source. Whatever you want to call it to help the cause.

Cool, but he clearly says its his opinion.  Its not a source or a report.  I mean tomorrow someone is going to start a thread that the panthers are in love with Stroud.  Then Friday and reverts back to young.  The draft cannot get here soon enough.  Although I do think we will know 100% who the pick is a week or so from now.

If this is a bit to get houston to trade (which I dont believe) then they would just have Young in for a visit to see if they bite.  The NFL would love for the #1 pick to be traded 2x

They are 100% giving the other QBs every opportunity to change their minds. No reason to not do proper due diligence.

Feel bad for Chris 

He has really been through it the past few years 

That treatment for stage 4 throat cancer in January sure has taken a toll on him 

 

My first thought. I havent watches ESPN outside of live sporting events in probably 5 years and this was the first I've seen him since then. 

My God he looks unrecognizable. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Starting to see the pattern, everytime somebody says they think its Young a new thread is created.    Lol 

This is true. If there was a thread made everytime a "draft expert" said it it was Stroud, nothing else would be on the front page.

Same. Hate to see it.

He and John Clayton used to be the kings of insider info.

Me peacocking aside I agree with you, I’m curious when that point is.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
