Bryce is a different cat. I love the fact that such a young guy is mature, thoughtful and cerebral. Of course I always thought he was the guy as soon as we moved up, but admittedly started questioning myself--only a little--when people were crushing on Stroud. In retrospect I really can't see how our staff would've picked anyone but Young. He has an awesome football mind, and, I suspect, more intellect than many.

It's not that hard to understand.  I was one who liked Stroud over Young.

It's a simple matter of what we knew pre-draft.  Always keep that lens in mind.  We didn't have all this inside knowledge prior to the draft.  All we had to go on is college tape, the combine and pro days.

I was referencing our staff. But, I will say that anyone that really did their homework, knew that Young was special. The only REAL knock was his size. I said that so many times that I got tired of saying it. If he can protect himself like he always has (and I wouldn't bet against him, but acknowledge that injuries are always a risk), we'll see him do a lot of great things for us.

We all knew Young had a high football IQ, but many backup QBs do as well.  McCown is our QB coach but was never an elite player.  Stroud has the height and arm talent that can't be taught.  It's easy to see how many of us wanted him (especially after that Georgia game).  At the end of the say Stroud went 2 right after Young so it wouldn't have been a crazy reach.  I just trust in our staff and think they made the right decision with Young now that it's all said and done.

Imagine when he has some years under his belt. He could have Manning level football IQ when it’s all said and done. His arm has also looked stronger than advertised during camp. A lot of tight window darts and deep balls to Chark.


If he stays healthy, I truly believe he’ll be the best QB we’ve ever had.

Just imagine Bryce at year 5-6 playing against a bunch of 2-3 year defensive players.

He’ll eat them up.

I just hope he opts for a team friendly contract when it’s his time.

It's a little early to be thinking about that, but I will say that Bryce will likely want to get paid his market worth. Unless he's enlightened like Tom Brady, maybe he won't kill us when the time comes, but he will get paid, and it will be a lot.

For his sake, I hope he takes less so the team can keep a top 5 O line around him.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
