Peter King - Young is one smart guy

I'd have preferred Richardson or Stroud. Hell, maybe even to have been able to trade down and take Levis. 

If Young works out, great. We are banking on him not just breaking the mold, but shattering it and tossing it in the trash. Average arm, average release, 5'10, above average processing, average mobility. Even comparing him to Steph Curry is a stretch because Curry is 6'3 and is an outside shooter.

My job here isn't to make anyone miserable. But you don't get to start at Alabama without being able to call protections and seeing an overload blitz isn't difficult when you recognize the alignment. 

Josh wanted Stroud. His breakdowns made that obvious. 

Well it didn't happen. Time to deal with it and quit whining/grumbling.

Or don't. Stay miserable. Stay insufferable. You do you.

"Average mobility" is such a bad take.

All I read is that I watched 3 mins of highlights and that I think I’m smarter than 90% of the NFL heavy hitters

And ihope we keep having them throughout the year.

I wouldn't mind it if it translates to wins but it's a long ways off until we find that out 

I remember people blowing smoke up teddy baker and Sam's asses before the season started too. I'm just jaded as a mother fuger until I see it work on Sundays

You people are absolutely miserable. Why are you fans of the Panthers? You sure as hell aren’t because it is fun. 
Stop whining. Get over it.

Saying this with so much certainty is hilarious when nobody on here has had a conversation with the man to know for sure. He was extremely complimentary of Bryce in his breakdown of him and that was when he broke down one of his worst games vs CJ’s best. 
 

In one of his columns leading up to the draft, Peter King even said Josh was telling people in the fall how much he loved Bryce and thought he’d be a great NFL QB. This is another reason I can’t wait for the draft confidential to come out, so we can squash some of the ridiculous narratives folks have on here about who was/wasn’t on board with Bryce, when all indications point at it being unanimous for him by the end of the process.

this is also based largely on comments McCown made before he became a coach here and before he started collaborating with other coaches and scouts to evaluate and interview all of the prospects. it could very well be that his opinion changed the further that he got into the process.

and it's not just these guys who are recognizing and even gushing about what Bryce Young did in his second game as a true freshman saying that what he did was some next level poo, and that's what you can expect from him. We have very informed, educated, and experienced people saying and recognizing this in Young....and then we have people like @CPcavedweller saying this kind of thing:

Y'all are slobbering over recognizing an overload blitz? My god.

Oh fine, ya got me. So happy our QB can recognize a blitz and slide protection. Everyone! Everyone! Make way, the next 5'9 Payton Manning hath arrived!

Seriously. It's one story about a team aligning in such a way it can only be one thing at that level. It's logical deduction and it's an easy one to make at that. 

so either CPcavedweller is right and these people talking about Young either don't know poo because, as cpcavedweller has intimated ...it's not a big deal because every QB who puts on a bama jersey does this kind of thing right out of the gate and it's not unusual for any QB to do this. 

or

they are correct and Bryce Young mentally is on another very impressive level.

I'm skeptical he even watched highlights.  Who watches Bryce Young and comes away thinking he has average mobility?

Well, to be fair. Maybe he was watching in slow motion. lol

 

I'll admit I gave Bryce a hard time during the draft process. But it was mostly just his size, not in how he played the game. The kid is exciting. He is just wee. And that does scare a lot of us.

The hype for this kid is getting unreal. Like above Burrow level.

I don’t think anyone is expecting Burrow. If he catches on quickly the hope is we make the playoffs in a weak NFC. Nothing too crazy IMO.

and it's not all coming from us. 

maybe they all know something that some here are reluctant to recognize. the guy has off the charts potential.

If you mean just on the huddle or in Panther fandom, it would have been the same if Stroud or Richardson had been the pick. It's what fans do. If you mean outside the huddle, then maybe it's the NFL hype machine or as @rayzor said, the experts might see something to get hyped over.

Now if Levis had been the pick, you'd probably see a lot more doom and gloom posting going on.
