I hope that this is planted information designed to create a potential trade with Houston or simply to create surprise at the draft. I believe picking Young will be a colossal mistake. That combine weight was a phoney weight as evidenced by his unwillingness to be weighed at his pro day. Of the five potential fist round QB picks (I include Hooker), Young has the weakest arm and it is not even close.

Start a list of modern day starting NFL QBs that weighed 185 pounds (Jim McMahon (6'1", 195 lbs) in 1982 is the last first-round quarterback over the last 40 years to weigh fewer than 200). When Young starts a game I believe that he will be the only name on that list. Stroud has a much better arm, much better size, had a better QB rating in college, was a more accurate thrower in college even though he threw deep more often, was injured less in college, I believe that Stroud won more games in college than Young, etc,

I am not sure where this idea that Young was the best QB in college last year got started. I doubt the veracity of that assumption. I suppose reasonable people can differ when it comes to who was the best. What really cannot be reasonably argued is that Young does not have severe size disadvantages or that Young has a strong arm compared to other first round QB talent this year. Furthermore, I think Young had two snaps taken under center last year. I believe Stroud had about 200 snaps under center last year.

As a long suffering Panthers fan, my greatest fear is that the team drafts Young who almost immediately gets pounded the culmaltive effect of which will have him sidelined and ultimately gunshy. I saw how Tua was ragdolled last season. Tua is 6'1" and 213 pounds. There are better options available. Success is not guaranteed with any of these prospects. I believe Young's inability to withstand the pounding that he will receive in the NFL is virtually guaranteed. There is reason that no QB in the modern NFL has been as small as Young.

The YOUNGSTERS don't understand that the dude is headed for carnage they haven't watched enough football. 180-190lbs is too light for the NFL. It's a cool dream Bryce but not worth the price of the experiment.

It's as ridiculous as putting LaMelo Ball in the trenches as a lineman because he's 6'7", but he's only about 190 himself. It could be his dream to play on the offensive line or be a TE, but what are they going to tell him, regardless of skill level?! You'll get killed out there.

Someone save Bryce Young, he's being thrown to the much bigger wolves for the entertainment of the YOUNGSTERS who couldn't care less.

I hear ya bud. Just gotta hope that he will become the ultimate outlier of all outliers. It can happen. Right?

I sure hope the Panthers do not spend multiple draft picks, their best WR, and the overall number 1 pick for the ultimate outlier. That is especially true given that other QB options are available.

After re-watching the lsu tape from Young yesterday he absolutely scares the poo out of me as a prospect, granted its one game but damn he look really bad under duress that game

thats jc latham he is hugging.  He is 6'5 320ish and looks like andre the giant next to young.  Goddamn I hope the panthers know what they are doing

Me personally, i dont think Bryce would be Reichs top choice. And if he doesnt work out its gonna be a poo storm because the HC wasnt fully committed. This happens all the time.

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      So, I like Shedeur, but as I’ve said in previous threads, in terms of the upcoming draft, Mendoza is the one guy I would lock in on.

      You’re in the minority,  I’m aware of his reputation for holding onto the ball too long, but give me someone whose issue is holding onto the ball too long but can hit a wide open 50 yard air pass when it’s there over a guy who often just doesn’t pull the trigger or can’t make the throw at all. Again, the point of this thread is, no matter how Bryce finishes the year, competition needs to be brought in and an influx of talent at QB.  I happen to like Shedeur and if he was an option, as a young QB in his rookie contract, to me seems like a good idea if the price is right.

      Scot, I’ve watched his full games.🤣. Since college.  I’m aware of the perceived weaknesses and flaws.  Yet, we have/had a front office full of paid football professionals who “full game” scouted Bryce Young and thought he was worthy of the #1 overall pick.  We also have a faction of our fanbase that, even when presented with a better option at QB, choose to keep believing in Bryce Young despite the fact that even with his occasional Atlanta games, or how he played against the Rams, he is still the statistically worst starting QB in the NFL since he’s been at the helm. So, it can’t be based off play or scouting.  So what is it based off of?
