More Smoke? Adam Schefter: CAR traded for Young, then checked other QBs. They did not bridge gap.

Are you talking about Stroud?

I would say it’s true for both of them.

This will be a disaster if true. A tiny QB with a mediocre, at best, arm. Great kid. Great attitude. Quick brain. He will have a much smaller margin of error than he had in college. The results will reflect that. His lack of athleticism, arm strength, size, and inability to play from under center will not be overcome by processing speed, brain power, and/or attitude. 
 

If drafted by the Panthers, I hope that I am wrong. I do not think I will be though. I hope that this is part of a smokescreen. It’s getting a tad bit harder to believe that though as the draft gets closer. 

 

Everything that you mentioned could be true, and in some cases is a fact. However, there is a chance he could overcome his limitations, and be a decent quarterback. My guess is that they are going to design the offense to be similar to the one that Jalen Hurts plays in with Philadelphia. That offense has a lot of rollouts getting Jalen hurts outside the pocket and allowing him to find the open receivers. Whether or not Bryce Young can execute, that type of offense is unknown, but if he busts then he will probably be a bust in a huge way. 
I guess this will be one of those situations where you would say you always miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take.

Same…I am buying a Young jersey…if I see a white jersey that is mine.  Personally love that clean white stitched look

 

get a custom young #9 jersey and wear it on draft night

Bryce just seems like the one to break the mold of “small QBs” in this era… I have a good feeling about this kid.

If you haven't noticed, there are certain huddlers that believe all the Young talk is nothing but a ploy to get the Texans to trade draft picks and give the Panthers another first rounder. It can't possibly be real interest or that the Texans were blowing smoke when so many rumors had them interested in Young weeks ago.

The Young talk is valid. He's definitely very possible, though all reliable sources say the decision isn't made yet.

That said, on the occasion of the Texans offering a decent package to trade up, do the Panthers take it?

If the offer's good enough, I think they do.

Mind you, that doesn't make the Young discussion a smokescreen. It's just the acknowledgment of another possibility.

My point is it’s not some colossal mistake, it’s backed by film and analytics that the professionals use. I trust Reich’s opinion over people on a random message board.

I mean, it could be, but so could Stroud, Richardson or Levis. And hell, even the best coaches and personnel guys make mistakes.

But I'm like you. I trust the people we have in charge now and will do so till they give me reason not to.

(here's hoping that doesn't happen anytime soon)

Well, there was the Lingerie League.

There really aren't many here who seem steadfastly dug in on one particular prospect or staunchly opposed to any particular prospect.

Depends on who the Panthers want and if they think the Texans want the same guy.

In that scenario, the Panthers are equally happy with either Young or Stroud.

(and probably get Stroud)

Yeah you are correct any of them could bust.  I guess I mean the NFL wouldn't be shocked if we draft Young first.  In fact it's almost expected it will be him or Stroud.
