Not sure who all saw this in the OTAs thread, but this story just impressed the hell out of me as had all the things i've been hearing about him...especially the word "poise" i keep hearing/seeing said about him in all aspects. 

the kid is as impressive as you could want anyone to be so far.

During the Panthers OTAs, Young has displayed remarkable composure and decision-making skills that have caught the attention of his teammates and coaches alike.

Fowler noted that “Poise” is a word commonly associated with Young when discussing his performance in Carolina. Regardless of the situation, Young maintains a calm demeanor and never appears rushed on the field.

His actions exude a sense of smoothness and control, making him a standout player during OTAs.

Fowler further elaborated on Young’s performance, highlighting his accuracy and precision in throwing intermediate and deep balls. Whether it be during practice sessions or facing a defense, Young has consistently delivered accurate passes, placing them in the perfect spots, even in tight spaces.

His ability to find the right windows and fit the ball into small gaps demonstrates his impressive understanding of the game and his exceptional arm talent.

Adding intrigue to Young’s journey, Fowler shared an intriguing anecdote about the pre-draft process. Prior to the 2023 draft, the Panthers did not provide Young with a playbook in advance, as they had not disclosed their intention to select him as the 1st overall pick.

However, rather than waiting for official instructions, Young took it upon himself to delve into the tendencies of Panthers head coach Frank Reich. He researched the offensive strategies employed by Reich in his past coaching roles, ensuring that he was well-prepared and knowledgeable about the team’s potential playbook.

This proactive approach demonstrated Young’s commitment to his craft and his desire to be fully prepared for any scenario.

Young’s dedication to understanding the Panthers’ offensive schemes before even officially joining the team showcases his work ethic and football intelligence. It further solidifies the belief that he possesses the intangible qualities necessary to excel at the professional level.

GO PANTHERS  

If we get above .500, I am good. That is a big success for where we are in this transition. If we finish a game or two under .500, not a big deal. 

Now 10+ wins? Look out.

Damn, that's impressive.

Kid's definitely got the mental side of things under control. If he can even be just half decent in the physical realm, he could have a really long and successful career.

I'd add the word "poise" is what I always used to hear they were looking for during the swimsuit portion of the Miss Whatever pageants. When guys watch those though, I don't really think too many of them turn to each other and say "Man, she's got some nice poise" 😕

what I thought early on when i really started paying attention to him is that he's the QB version, at least mentally, of Luke Kuechly.

He doesn't just know intimately his offense and what they are supposed to be doing at any given moment within a play, he also knows intimately his opponents and where they are supposed to be at any at any given moment within a play. that makes it easy for him to anticipate, work around, and manipulate defenders.

yeah, college is easier than pros, but which QBs coming out of college, even among successful ones, have had this kind of reputation?

the guy is mentally on another level.

It's a great comparison.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
