I still want and very strongly think it should be Stroud or we'll look back on this in a few years as a terrible trade and draft pick.

But seeing FanDuel sportsbook has Young at -1500 odds right now, that's hard to ignore, Vegas doesn't make lines like that unless they're very confident.

Vegas reacts to the market. They don't want anyone else betting on Young (cos apparently a lot of people have bet big on it).

They have no inside sources themselves.

They also have Stroud at +700

If they thought there was a legitimate chance at him being drafted 1st by us, I don' think his odds would be anywhere near that high, would still be in the +200ish range

I mean couldn’t he just be lying ?

he is.  I dont know how people dont get this.  Young wouldnt cancel visits unless he knows hes getting picked.  Also it would be stupid for us to announce the pick now, its simple marketing.  As long as we dont commit to it, we're still the Prime talk of the NFL, so you keep people talking about the pick and your franchise.  Young will be the pick, and we wont announce it until we're on the clock, its as simple as that.

Source (although a newer one for me):

Young has not only canceled his remaining visits but is using that time looking for places to live in the area. 

Again, not surprising, if I were him I'd also have cancelled other visits and also would be looking for homes in both Charlotte and Houston.

He knows with 100% certainty that short of a Tunsil type of video coming out and screwing him over in the next week, he's going to one of those two teams.

No reason to spend any more time flying around the country to meet with other teams and no reason to not get a head start on finding a home since he knows it will be one of two cities that he'll end up in.

If that is the case then why is there no news on it anywhere. Nice false statement.

I had Josh McCown as new QB coach before there was any news on it. Same for Parks Frazier and Thomas Brown for their respective positions.

But if you don’t want insider info, and just call it false statements that’s cool. I don’t need to post here anymore.

We appreciate you boss, please keep posting.

Any input about CJ Stroud? I haven't heard anything after his pro day about the Panthers continued interest in him. I have about Young and Anthony Richardson

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
