Mentioned this possibility  last week and was told the pick has been made already! No doubt  that Bryce  is probably  the fave but Fitt is always open for business. 

People talk like there's some kind of intrinsic value to the #1 pick, or there's something special about being able to say you got the first quarterback in the draft.

Yeah...None of that is true.

The first quarterback in the draft can just as easily be Baker Mayfield as it can be Peyton Manning. There's nothing magical about that position.

And hell, I'd suggest there's more credibility in saying you got your guy later rather than sooner. The Chiefs can crow that they got arguably the best quarterback in the league 10th overall.

So frankly, as long as we get a guy who can finally be our franchise quarterback, who gives a sh-t whether we picked him at #1 or #12? I damn sure don't.

And if we can get that guy plus additional picks that can be used to build around him, to quote well-known philosopher Steven Austin, hell yeah!

This is just the "draft market" correcting itself to make Levis the #2 QB. I have heard since February and even mentioned on here that they like Levis. However, he is not their #1 QB. The only way I see Carolina taking Levis is if they make some deal to trade out of the number 1 slot-which could happen if there is a tempting offer. OR something very damaging is released about Young- which I highly doubt.

I find it interesting that people were saying Vegas knows stuff that’s why the line is what it is, yet when it shifts another way you get insiders and others saying Vegas doesn’t know poo, so which is it?

People use Vegas to represent their opinion when it's convenient, similar to how people cherry pick statistics. This is just the lines correcting themselves in favor of Levis' increased popularity and Stroud falling. The Reddit article is likely BS but may have accelerated it, it was going to happen anyways.

Makes sense.

I've said all along I wouldn't expect something like that to occur but crazier things have happened.

Never forget that anything is possible.

Honestly I love that this nonsense is coming about the likelihood of controversy at the #1 overall pick. Gives the Panthers more exposure, downside is some are dumb enough to wager on it and Vegas will recoup other losses since people are very irrational when it comes to winning money.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By NAS · Posted

      I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.

      To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.

      If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
