Peter King - Young is one smart guy

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.

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.

Well thats because lots of people see Burrow like potential in Bryce.  Young has been the de-facto best QB in college football since Burrow left NCAA, so it would only be natural that he's next in line.  Hell, if Bryce were 6 foot 2 or taller, he would have been the slam dunk, no doubt 1st pick, and be hailed as the next generational Luch/Burrow/Lawrence type guy.  I believe hes that damn good.

He seems to be getting the standard "1st overall pick QB" hype...not sure what you mean.  Maybe less because he's not considered a generational slam-dunk type prospect like a Trevor Lawrence/Andrew Luck.

Cam wasn't either.

I think the best QB in college has been Caleb Williams. I like Bryce. I think he has potential. But everyone keeps talking as if he is the smartest player in the league. I think we might be setting the kid up for a bit of false expectations.

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.

Just to clarify for the record...you did kind of create an entire thread around questioning Young's processing speed because of his Time to Throw metric.  You also said he has no zip on his passes...he's got an average arm...average speed...average athleticism...so basically all the same criticisms verbatim that you're making fun of this guy for.  But carry on...I'm glad you've come around.

LOL for the record. Is this going on my Permanent Record?

 

The most important part of this is the fact that I said if Bryce was the target, I would get on board. And I did,

 

Who cares what is said during the draft process? I didn't want him, and I made fun of him. How dare me? He is now a Panther and I will defend and support him. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Caleb Williams is great and probably goes above Young in this draft if he was eligible. Lincoln Riley does make a lot of QBs look better than they do in the Pros with Baker and Kyler. Personally I like Bryce’s demeanor a lot. I couldn’t imagine him putting “fug UGA” on his knuckles and then losing to them. To me Caleb wants to have more fun playing the game similar to Cam while Young just wants to win and execute similar to a Manning/Brees. Both ways can be affective though.

I swear Caleb looks like a Mahomes clone. Not sure if he will be as great as Mahomes but he definitely looks like a college version of him.

 

He absolutely is the #1 pick if he was in this year's draft class.

There are plenty of ways to try to reach your potential as a QB. I'll take the QB that lives in the film room every time.
