I mean, a lot of signs seemed to indicate Bryce knew or could come to a conclusion before the draft the same as us.

 

Stroud has been a good friend to him and has been getting ripped a part recently. If that was my boy I’d be the same way. Stroud told the media, people who know football know what he’s capable of and where he was picked proved that.

Bryce Young comes across as a really good, level headed kid.  He understands a lot of the business of the NFL already.  That response he had for Stroud was just ANOTHER demonstration that he's a great person.

Bryce isn't dumb, he knows how the NFL media will tear guys down.  Didn't he workout with Stroud this offseason and they hit off a friendship?  I'm sure he hated seeing his buddy getting torn down over what is ultimately some BS.

definitely a cool moment. dude talked up their friendship a good bit. that just showed it wasn't just talk. genuine reaction. 

so happy for both of them and AR.

feel bad that i'm just kind of 'meh' about Levis, though. 

i think we'll see great things from these top three dogs.

My 1st comment when Stroud walked through the doors of the green room to the stage foyer was "Whoa, he doesn't look happy about being drafted by Houston."

i think he was in shock. it has to be just the most surreal moment for any of them. no way to predict how it hits them to hear their name...or not to hear their name. i can't imagine.

They've been friends since HS.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
