With what people are saying about Caleb Williams and Drake Maye right now, it really might have been the best option for him as far as draft position to come out this year. But who knows, so much can happen in a year. Maye and Williams will start getting nitpicked to hell just like everybody else.

Good point.  My view is this:  If you have the upside you are selling, another year in college should elevate you above the others.

This is a very good point about Bryce young and his s2

 

I had nearly a perfect SAT score but I was part of a program through Duke that let me take it twice a year since I was in sixth grade. 
 

learning how to take a test is almost more important than actually knowing anything, LOOKING AT YOU LSAT 

He probably would have scored really well anyway, but that is a massive advantage. Not an apples to apples comparison with other test takers.

If you think AR is an extraordinary risk but BY isn't at all you are operating with clear bias.

I hope they are seriously considering this kid.

They appear to be trying to talk down to everyone else with the S2 and a 5'10" pedestal.

In reality they're talking up to those on the 6'4" pedestal with their faces at nut level.

He's already in the conversation for the 1st overall with only 1 year starting.  How much more does he need to do? Another year of college could only hurt his stock if he still has another crappy team in Florida.

BY and AR are not in the same category of quarterback. Bryce Young was the best quarterback in high school, best quarterback in college, and has widely been considered worthy of #1 overall for two years now. 

BY has consistently been the best quarterback in whatever league he's been in since he started playing. AR has one season of middling quarterback play.

and before you say BY was on a better team blah blah - it's because he earned that right by his play. 

BY has risks associated with him, but they are not based on his play.

Bryce was not the best QB in college for 2 years now. Hooker was outplaying him until injury, Caleb Williams outplayed him. 
 

And you think there aren’t risks taking a dude who had dud performances against Texas and LSU? Or that while he was out the backup QB who couldn’t even play QB scored 3 TDs? And that a Bryce lead team didn’t make the playoffs in his final year? 
 

Every QB in this class has reasons to be concerned over their performance.

And for the record we aren’t going to be much better this year. We have some pass catching studs coming in but most WRs don’t take off like a rocket their freshman years. The team should be better the year after that.

Not really word after the combine was he had the best interviews of any qb and was the best on the whiteboard and one of the more knowledgeable qbs in the draft football wise. 

 

The s2 score is not a surprise at all, especially if you watch his tape. 

By tape do you mean highlights? Because i watched complete games and he was complete crap. Maybe he is the ultimate qb mind in the ultimate qb body that only completes 53.8% of his passes.  Was he day dreaming out there or something?

Here is what bothers me about AR:

1. He scores well on the S2 (reportedly a home run even though others possibly scored higher).

2.  He flicked the ball 70 yards at the combine.

3. He ran in the 4.4s

4. He completed 53% of his passes at Florida and did not say, "I need another year in college".

5. He has one season as a starting QB in college and did not say, "I need another year in college."

Yes, you could argue that his WRs dropped passes (because that only happens at UF) and you could argue that he is going to be an early first round pick.  Is that because AR is good or because he has the skill set to be good and desperate teams are willing to take extraordinary risks to get a franchise QB?

I think the best advice would have been to stay in school, get 20+ games of experience.  Show the world that the 53% completions in 2022 was a fluke.   Work on your mechanics.  Be the #1 overall pick in 2024. 

 

Also, he was recruited by Mullen and now has Napier as HC. Different coach, different philosophies. Could also be that he's not gelling with the new coaching regime, but that's not something we'd likely hear about in the press.

I think we need to start a full out AR bandwagon here. 

The YOUNGSTERS, although loyal and very vocal 😉 are overlooking the BIGGEST aspect of the NFL that has nothing to do with math camp scores or reaction speed, SIZE it matters.

There's no explaining why there aren't MORE 5'9" QBs in the NFL,none needed, the physical toll will be great.

This is who Bryce will be facing, look how big he is compared to 6'2"212lb(same as Matt Corral) Lamar Jackson...

I mean tape not highlights. From pre snap to the throw, the processing and football iq is easily seen. It's the mechanics breakdown on throws that causes the majority of his issues

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
