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.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
