Slowly and surely sounds like who we are picking isn't who we thought we'd pick when we traded up. 

“There were inclinations early… the conviction built gradually for us coaches… the scouts were ahead of us”

Sounds like Fitt knew who he wanted and Reich liked him but needed to go through the process and confirm what he thought originally.

Oh my you actually believed a random rumor on reddit?

 

It's amazing how a random person can go to reddit make up a rumor and it spreads on the internet.

 

Meanwhile the real insiders have all been saying Bryce Young is the pick...

 

 

I didn’t say I believed it. I just think the timing lining up with what Reich said in the presser is interesting. I hope it’s not Levis at one, just because I don’t think he’s worth what they gave up but we’ll see. 
 

I’ll only start to believe it when either:

1. A reliable reporter starts to pick up on it.

or

2. He becomes the odds on favorite in the next 24-48 hours.

You're getting trolled like everyone else my man. Snap out of it!

I don't think Levis was ever in the conversation.  I also don't think Stroud was either, despite the rumors that the coaches and front office didn't want Young at all and wanted Stroud. 

 

One such site that actually mentions that rumor is walterfootball. 

 

 

To add

 

I 100% think AR was the original target in the trade up and Tepper nixed it.

Well…I won’t be shocked if it’s Levis now. I’m going to go ahead and assume it is so I get a head start on the homer coping I need to do. 

I still would.

Now with that said, a lot of the talk going around about the guy smells like bullsh-t.

I caught a tape of his post pro day presser (below)

None of the stuff about him being a jerk, being immature, thinking he's already great and/or won't have to work hard in the NFL...none of that shows up here. He comes off as a young kid with a big opportunity ahead of him just trying to get ready for it.

Again, I don't see him being our pick, but I do think some people here are being unfair to him.

Do you remember the Fitt quotes a few days ago when he put Bryce Young above the rest?

If Levis is the guy why didn't he single him out?

You're seriously asking why an NFL GM wouldn't just throw something out there to give away who he's picking?

Yikes 🙄

I believe Young is the pick (same as most of us) but have mercy what a dumb line of reasoning 😖

Fitt just a few days ago said Young stood out above the other QB's. Cmon man don't let a random reddit insider try to convince you otherwise.

 

Trading up to the #1 pick for Levis doesn't even seem realistic. We would be crucified if we drafted him #1. Some things just don't make sense. This fake rumor is one of those things.

The fan base would be pissed off and we'd be a laughingstock in the league and media

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
