This is very cool, hard to not get too excited. When is the next minicamp? 

I believe Rookie Mini-camp starts May 11th?  Itll be our first opportunity to see BY throw in a Panthers jersey!

When you can’t rely on athleticism you have to be the smartest guy in the room. I’m so excited to see this guy play at an high level in the NFL. Undersized backup NBA playoffs make the best coaches for the same reason. 

I mean its not like Bryce is a bad athlete or something....yeah hes not Anthony Richardson or Lamar Jackson, but hes not Matt Ryan or Philip Rivers either (athletically speaking, if hes as good a QB as those guys were set).

Biggest concern is obviously that he gets broke with regular concussions like Tua or just breaks down and retires early like Andrew Luck….hopefully Reich has a plan to mitigate that from the luck experience 

Is there even a correlation between size and concussion risk?  On the surface it doesn't seem to make sense that being bigger protects your brain from jostling around inside your skull.  The only thing that I could maybe rationalize is that a smaller player might be more likely to be "rag-dolled" and slammed into the ground harder by a bigger opponent.  But largely speaking, I would have a tough time buying into a player's size being a concussion risk factor.  Cam, Luke, and Michael Oher were all giants (or at least of healthy size) at their respective positions and all experienced multiple serious concussions.  It is known that once you suffer your first concussion, you're at a higher risk for future concussions, but other than that it seems like they're entirely random and unpredictable.

Super impressive by Young. And I'm very encouraged that the coaching staff was able to recognize the maturity and awareness the play required. If guys starting in the NFL have never made that call, and he did it as a college freshman in garbage time, it tells you a lot about Young's approach to the game. Every play matters, every call matters, every opportunity matters. And he wants to get it right.

When you've been watching Darnold and Mayfield struggling to do the same, yes, it's something to be excited about. 

I am excited about watching our new franchise QB Bryce Young, a player that proves a lot of winning football games starts above the shoulders and not just  the arms and legs.

This is one of those minor yet really important things.  Seems simple enough but we haven't had a Center-QB combo that could effectively communicate and call out protections and make solid presnap judgements since 2018.

You saw the boost when Bozeman replaced Elflein, and he helped our lackluster QBs make some good calls.  But now having both a QB and Center capable of effectively making presnap reads is huge.  Bozeman & Young being here and developing a report is awesome.  

Haven't had that since Cam-Kalil.  It was one of Cam's more underrated traits IMO.

That particular concern doesn't go away now that he's drafted.

Just the opposite, it becomes very real.

Obviously we all hope it doesn't manifest into anything, but it's not going away.

I think that it will go away if he stays mostly healthy this first season.

he's got to tamper our expectations. that's his mission in life, to help us put the brakes on our excitement because Young or really any other QB taken at the top of this draft or any other draft isn't really worth the selection because you can get a Tom Brady in every draft.

really he's just a miserable person in here.

I mean it took him months to realize Harrison Jr wasn’t draft eligible after 20 plus people told him. So that’s what we are dealing with here…

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
