This is exactly how we should all feel. The franchise has a super identity now and what I’ve always felt is one of the special players that takes teams to the next level. Unlike guys like Watson, Carr, Dak, Cousins, even maybe Lamar, Kyler etc… he has the “it” and sooner than later the fanbase will see it.

Exactly! Every time you watch him, you just think “this guy is SPECIAL”. I really like CJ as well but I never got that intuitive feeling that he was special and that doesn’t mean he won’t be a good or great Qb but there is a fine line between great and special. Joe was special in college & so was Bryce.

And it’s something you can’t grow or manufacture. I’m expecting Sundays to be special for the now and the future.

Well, I'm excited! Given that Bryce's o-line allowed a lot of pressure last year and he didn't have the best receivers, he's in an ideal situation at Carolina. He'll have a good o-line to protect him. A good running game to support him. Good weapons to target. And a defense that will keep them in most games.

Honestly, a QB picked first overall in the draft couldn't have asked for a better environment.

When?? and was it in the Sec???

Also didn’t it only happen 1 year..

Just saying. Everything people are saying about Young, they said about Zac Wilson. Even if he was in the SEC, he was playing with the most talented team that wasn't Georgia. When his receivers left, he was just average for what you'd expect out of an Alabama QB. 

I'll believe it when I see it but he's going to have to change a lot of his game to make it in the NFL. I think he will start Week 1, but honestly, he reminds me a lot of PJ Walker, more so than Drew Brees or Russell Wilson.

I hope I'm wrong. We have an offense to compete in the NFC now, so long as QB pans out.

Average height for an Olineman is 6'5 .

How tall do you have to be to see over the OL? How many QBs are capable of doing that?

QBs don't look over the OL. They all look through them. They all choose their lanes to look through.

Might be interesting to see but OL are not standing straight up when blocking. A 6-5” QB may in fact be looking over an OL who’s not standing straight up. Again, lots of variables (like height with helmet on and knee bend/base) but I think that it’s not a fully true statement that QBs can’t look over an OL and that Young does in fact have less chance to look over in some cases.

I definitely think we will be in every game with Bryce.. my worry is the talent around him Tepper already make a comment the extent of "he's such a point guard that we won't have to spend much on WRs since he distributes so well." Uh... no you get this man some of the best weapons in the NFL his rookie year like the Bengals did with Burrow like the Eagles did w Hurts.. what the Chargers did with Herbert... not what the Ravens are doing with Lamar smh I hope he was just talking...

Yeah, its hard to take you seriously, when you are comparing the consensus #1 overall pick and Heisman winner to the xfl standout PJ walker. 

Bryce may not meet expectations, but he is clearly not PJ Walker.

Would be nice to have a late season game against Tampa so we can knock them out of the Caleb Williams sweepstakes if necessary. 

I know its cliche at this point, but there are like 4 top qb prospects waiting on deck for next season.  2 are incredibly talented and the other 2 are in positions to have good years.  Maye and Williams are seeming locked in while Ewers and Penix could rise.   But yeah TB getting maye or williams would kindof suck

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
