This owner has invested heavily in analytics, but anyone paying attention could see Young is physically limited with no physically elite skills. This team disregarded over 100 years of data because Young is a football savant. However, football is a big man’s game. A QB not only has to make the right reads, but he also must be able to throw all the routes. I don’t believe Young has the skills to do that in the NFL.

I mean, there's probably folks sitting in boardrooms who could score very well on the S2 test but they lack the physical ability to play QB in the NFL. At some point there are simply physical prerequisites that no amount of mental ability will be able to overcome. I hope Bryce is on the right side of that line.

there are mouth breathers on this forum who could score well on that test.

I was really hoping he’d show up to camp looking like he added some real weight over the offseason. It was a real let down when he showed up looking the same. I would’ve settled for some newbie gains but we didn’t even get that 

It looked like he was just concerned about the weigh in and not the reality of what he was really going to face. It jives with the preseason approach and thinking a rookie QB is fine if you don't establish the run or even use the more effecting RB after the first game.

sometimes the NFL/sports comes down to not playing by the textbook.    We wouldn't of made either Super Bowl if Jake and Cam just went about playing smart.  Hell, look at Mahomes.  You need a QB willing to take the proper amount of risks.   Not saying Young can't get there.  But he has never really been that style QB. 

Risk is part of sports.

Wow looks like the season of Huddle manchildren bumping old ass threads to brag about what big smart football boys they are has arrived early this year

Huddlers = manchildren for bumping "old ass threads" ( from this past offseason ) is worse than putting stock into a test before the kids play a snap in the NFL?

Coming from someone who was team Stroud, I would be very careful about taking victory laps after week 3 in terms of draft prospects.  There was a time when Mods cracked down on bumping old threads now I login and there are like 4-5 all at the top....

Mods? The mods are doing half this stuff. That proudiddy guy starts half this poo. he literally has a thread on the front page telling everyone to stop being fans of this team 2 games into our ROOKIE qb career. its unreal

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
