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.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
