AP Mock Draft....who goes #1

It's not going to happen, but I wouldn't be upset either way. There are three quarterbacks who deserve to go #1 overall. 

Are the trade down rumors just bull crap right now? Sounds like they are pretty locked in with their choice.

Im curious to know where everybody hard stance is coming from now, Stroud hasnt even had his visit yet and there are constant reports stating that they havent even all sat down and discussed a decision yet. Especially if its truth that Young is not even Reichs choice, everybody can make opinions all they want in the media and other team reps. I think this is too close to not wait until we here from the team directly.

If I could push back on a couple things you said:

1. We don’t know for sure that people in the building haven’t sat down and talked about their preferences or leanings. Scott in the article said 1-2 weeks before the draft, which is the window we’re in now so it’s not impossible that they have talked about who they like and are using visits to confirm stuff. We’re you’re in a collective process like they are, everyone probably have an idea of where folks are leaning this late into the process.

 

2. When Lance Zerlein made the comment about Reich and young he didn’t source it from somebody in the Panthers building. He just said an “NFC GM” so for all we know that person could’ve been just guessing based on Reich’s past just like a lot of folks were when CJ was leading the hype train. 
 

I just think when both National and Local media are converging on a topic, there’s gotta be something there. Of course anything can change but I’m just not buying that legit almost every reputable source out there are all getting bamboozled by a ‘smokescreen’. I could be wrong though.

FWIW, Ryan Wilson had Bryce going 1, but said yesterday he thinks it’s going to be Stroud because of things he is hearing. I thought that was interesting. He has said the whole time that Young is the best player, so he isn’t a Stroud lover.

Shouldn't they be locked in?   They have years of tape, the pro-days and combine.  They've met these players, talked to their coaches and know their game inside and out.

The playbook has been made.    They could have written it for 3 potential QBs, but I doubt it.

Ryan Wilson seems like a cool dude on the podcast he has with Rick Spielman but man I swear every year he has the most outlandish mock drafts that comes out for that cycle. Not even specifically for the Panthers but in general. 
 

When one of his mocks come across my TL I always wonder bout the decision making he goes through to get to the choices he does lol

Agreed about the podcast. It’s really neat getting the insight of a former GM.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
