It is a comfort to hear Luke Kuechly speak highly of Bryce Young. Now we have to wait and see what happens.

I have my own preference about which QB the Panthers should draft between Young and Stroud.

However,  I will  trust our new fine  coaches, who have more insight than I do, to make the right call, and will gladly support and abide by their decision. 

I'm not saying he's lying or anything but what else is he really going to say? Luke is not going to talk bad about anyone.

If Luke truly thought Young was a mistake, he'd say nothing.

Luke may be a Panthers puppet just saying whatever they tell him to, but I doubt it.

It's not like he was on there to talk just QBs, or at least it doesn't seem that way. I really don't care either way though - just funny discussions around college players this time of year. We'll see what happens on draft night.

He is tiny and an outlier size wise. That is just a fact. It might not concern you at all, which is totally fine. But continuing to argue that he is not small is just really weird. Saying people are stupid when they are concerned about his size is also weird.

One other thing that will be interesting is how defenses will attack him. Because of both his height and stature, I think the refs will be flag-happy. If "central casting" height defenders use good technique and lower to tackle, the chance is high that they'll be flagged for unnecessary roughness because their hits will look helmet-to-helmet. In the flip side, because he's lower to the ground, trying to tackle him low could be seen as too close to his knees--another flag. And because he's so light, hits that might seem normal for most will look unnecessary to the refs.

Before long, defenders may be afraid to hit him until they figure out a way to do so without being flagged. By then, I think he will take less severe hits to avoid all doubt.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
