Kuechly is essentially saying what all of the 'haters' are saying - his best bet it to become a mini-Brees.

His path to success is dinking and dunking the ball out before pressure gets there. Those highlight plays in College where he scrambles to buy more time are going to get him killed in the NFL.

Y’all act like you never see NFL QBs buying time moving around and out of the pocket. 
 

Also, wouldn’t you take Drew Brees at #1 if you could have?

That's why I said it was accurate.  But if you're trying to argue not to worry about injuries, choosing CMC as your example is not a great choice, even if the nuances of the situation make sense.  Regardless of the reason for his injuries he was barely on the field for multiple seasons for us.

that's kind of the angle i've been looking at it all along. it doesn't matter how small or big you are, injuries can happen. it does make sense, though, that once CMC started bulking up that he started getting the injuries he did. 

what keuchly said, though, was right. guys like Brees and even CMC were able to either avoid being hit or handle being hit so that it had minimal effect on them. Young is like that.

With the staff we had at the time, his career would have been over before it began.

Brees didn't really become elite until he was paired with Sean Payton.

Because he's 5'10 and 185 lbs. The 204 was probably water weight and caloric intake unrelated to weight lifting. 

It blows my mind how many people give 0 F's about an NFL QB being the size of a JV HS football player. 

He has undeniable talent, but people are ignoring a HUGE red flag. Durability long term is a real concern. 

Hes not a small QB, he's tiny. He's smaller than most of the people typing on here.

And nearly 50% are obese. Talking about huddlers, that obsesity rate is probably even higher.

Panthers are using Luke to "ease up concerns" about Bryce Young, its a wrap

 

Valid.

What was Luke's take on the rest of the class?

Also valid.

 

Would be interested in his take on Stroud. If he want on the air just to talk about Bryce, I agree with SPV; it's a lock we're going with Bryce and this the start of that uniting the fanbase effort that was alluded to earlier this week. No Panthers fan in their right mind is gonna question Luke.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
