From watching him play. I don't question his ability to generate velocity or go deep in a clean pocket. But that doesn't always happen in the NFL. I don't know if I've ever seen him throw a rope or go deep with pressure in his face. It's a legit concern.

 

it's not like he's right at getting crushed or taking the hit but he has to 1. pretty quickly step up and make decision and 2. be quick about release while also getting plenty behind the ball

Yeah I jumped around various QB's throwing deepish yesterday and he does not stand out at all

I was thinking about Young canceling his visits, and some people posted very reasonably that it could be that he hasn't heard anything from the Panthers and he has been told by the Texans that he's their pick. 

So would you cancel your other visits on the day the Texans announce at press conference that their "listening" to offers for 2?   And if so, why now?  These visits have been on the books for months.  The Texans are just now notifying Young he is their pick, and the same day announce their listening to other offers?

 But the betting markets certainly didn't see it that way. 

What was interesting was Caserio said we'd know by Thursday if they were trading out of #2. 

I don’t think the Panthers would give out any assurances until Lewis and Stroud left the building. But I think the feel confident enough. But that’s just my guess

This is Scott Fitterer 3 weeks ago about Young's arm strength 

“Thought he was very fluid, very poised,” Fitterer said. “Ball came out of his hand nice and easy — plenty of arm strength. I think, overall, he managed to do well.

“Saw a lot of good things out of him. Very in control, very poised. It’s just like you thought it would be. I know I heard comments around me, like, ‘Hey, his arm is better in person than I thought,’ [from] coaches that had only seen tape. That’s from other teams, but it’s always good to hear things like that.”

He doesn't have the level of the arm of Mahomes or Josh Allen. However, he can make the necessary throws that will keep defenses honest and more importantly he can read breaks and anticipate throws as the windows in the NFL are smaller and you will have to throw guys open. 

The only questions I have about Young is his durability and limiting some of his "hero" ball plays at the next level. Otherwise, I just have to go by his durability of only missing 1 game in 27 starts at Alabama, then coaches that we have in place to work on that internal clock of knowing when a play is over.

Yep there and Nashville for sure. Those two trips were my favorite ones in 2015. You?

definitely trying to go to Jax, waiting for schedule release to confirm it's a date I can do. Nashville would be a blast but not sure if I can swing it. Been spending a fair amount of time in FL for work and will try to line it up to be able to go to all 3 road games in FL, also would like to go to the home game vs the Vikings with some family (who are all vikings fans). Haven't been to a game since at Tampa in 2018 which is a joke as I was going to 2-3 every year before then. Guess that's what covid, not living local, and the team sucking ass will do to a fan

I hear you. I live in Canada so travelling for games isn’t exactly easy. I’ve only gone to games the last few seasons to see RR. If the team is doing well I go to a lot more. But yeah, Jax and Nash are both great trips. Jax is a cool experience, I might’ve watched 2 minutes of football that day in the pool

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
