CJ has always struck me as a fraud.  Something about his interviews feels disingenuous and put me off of him. He's polite but it feels conscious, not ingrained. He is confident, but he responds with almost more of an arrogance. He seems like an odd guy trying to act like he isn't. And he isn't a good actor. I think he is another in a long line of super successful college quarterbacks that SHOULD be successful in the NFL, but he lacks the mental and emotional structure to endure the path ahead. I'm telling you, whoever drafts him is going to have a time dealing with his frustrations and he is going to likely see plenty of those early on. I'm not Nostradamus, but I feel pretty confident in my ability to judge a person. I could be wrong. But he is going to need a strong support group behind the scenes and he is going to have to be willing to work at the mental aspects of being a professional athlete.

(For the record I wasn't one of the guys that felt that way about Cam pre-draft. I was worried about his play style translating, but he seemed like a fun, genuine, and ambitious guy from the jump.)

Haven't seen many interviews other than one he did with Rick Spielman and I actually agree with you. I wasn't buying his responses.

Really enjoyed reading this thread.

The CJ crowd “who is supposedly happy with either QB” has been spicy on here. Lmao

love to see it!

I always struggle with the Lombardies of the world trashing a young man 2-3 weeks, on que, before the draft. And maybe he is correct and someone else will back it up. Until then I will chose to not take it seriously. Never heard anything bad about his character before.

I struggle with Mike Lombardi in particular. His takes are very hit or miss.

And yeah, I've not heard of a single character issue with Stroud.

You're wasted here if you can tell all of that from an interview.

Man…after the crap seasons we had with Rhule. Who could imagine Panther fans arguing who the #1 pick should be this month. My have the tables have turned

The #1 pick we've mortgaged our future for?

I'd say it's a pretty big deal.

Eh I really don’t care. Whoever we pick between CJ and Young I’ll support. I’m not going to get my panties in a wade on a QB I have absolutely have no control over picking.

LMAO what are you even talking about?  None of that is true about BYs arm strength.  You're acting like hes got some kinda Jimmy Clausen noodle arm. 

Watch him at his pro day. Watch his deeper passes, for how he gets velocity on those throws. He does a little skip or hop or something that adds a split second extra to the whole drop back and throw thing. And that little move takes a little bit of real estate with it. It is why I never took him seriously as far as being the pick, I thought coaches would see it and take notice.  
That, his size and height, and all the shotgun with little under center work, I just can’t go for it. At that draft position.

Its all about the processor--and it is a bold strategy

By your logic, Young could be 5'6 then, right?

What percentage of his snaps were under center?

Why not. Young is around 190/195 and weighed in a little more than his original weight which was water weight and a height of 5' 10".

More from Breer: 

From Kaden (@Kaden_Baker5): Any buzz around Houston, Indy or anyone else trying to grab the No. 1 pick from Carolina? No way Carolina would do that unless they love Anthony Richardson right?

Kaden, I really think the Panthers see something pretty special in Young, just based on some things I’ve heard. I think they also know even if someone came up to get Stroud, they’d then lose Young to Houston. So my sense would be that even though Carolina GM Scott Fitterer liked the idea of trading back again to pick up some extra capital, the logistics of the situation won’t allow for it.
