absolutely. i hope we're never in this situation again, but since we're in it i don't think there's a better dilemma to have. whoever we pick, especially if it's either young or stroud, we can count on to be an absolute stud for years.

and if they think it's AR, then giddyup because if any coaching staff can take all that potential and help him reach it, it's us.

I wish I had your optimism about these rookies.  Especially about being a stud for years.  But I'm hoping for best. I'll being cheering from the sidelines and giving my hot takes either way.

While Stroud has been setting up more visits with teams the last few days.

It’s appears Bryce is shutting it down

 

Yeah 2 is his absolute floor and there is a slim chance of that happening.  Carolina is probably just looking at the others to see if they are comfortable taking one if a stupid trade is offered to them.

I’m a Stroud guy, but the current best guess by the majority of “sources” and reporters is that Young is the guy. I don’t get the issue with this. Nobody knows what the Panthers 100% think at this point, probably Young, but it might be Stroud, who knows. Young’s floor is 2 whole Strouds is maybe 5. This seems to be pretty clear cut.

No offense, but the Curry comparisons I see are terrible. Curry is a relatively tall PG at 6’3”. The major hesitations around him were never size related, it was his athleticism and level of competition. 

Its not a comparison of their sizes, its a comparison of how each of them play their respective games.

The team probably thinks Bryce is worth the gamble, and I agree. Maybe Bryce and his team have convinced the Panthers that they have been working on his body and ability to avoid hits. Again I don't care about his size, just about him avoiding hits. If healthy he is definitely better than Tua, and healthy Tua was a beast this year. 

A part of me still thinks this is a giant game by the Panthers to extort the Texans into giving pick 33 or the Cleveland first next year. I still think the Panthers are in good shape with either QB, but Stroud would not fair well with the Texans because they have no offensive development experience, so they'd rather pass on QB if they can't get Young.

Ha yeah, I've always wondered what we're realistically expecting out of these reports. If someone definitively says something is happening and we don't like it (or it ends up not being that way), we say they don't know anything; if they say "think" we take that as code for also not knowing anything. Hilarious.

 

FWIW, he covered his bases here--one "think" and one definitive...which one is right?

Yeah 6'3" PG's are common in the NBA, he's more like a Muggsy Bogues

His size was indeed a concern, but it was frame not height (like Bryce). He was thin as a rail and was actually looking like a bust early on due to injuries. The fact that it was the Warriors who drafted also lent itself to the sense that he was no good since they were a putrid franchise at the time too (like Carolina), so of course "they'd" pick a bust.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
