I don’t view it as a vendetta. It’s more similar to bragging rights when your team beats another. I just want the losing side to take their L as they should and don’t go quietly into the night. 
 

I guess I should have included it, but that’s obviously based on projection from where they both are currently. Everyone on our staff and team is raving about Young and where he is as a rookie. He’ll still have rough games. 

To each his own I guess. I could see bragging rights if the team he plays for were a division rival or a conference rival even. But he plays in the AFC. I'm not putting Bryce under a microscope and I'm not expecting that for the rest of the QB class either. Unless they are just dogshit and it's undisputed you have to let them get a full season under their belt. Piling on Stroud or whoever only invites criticism toward our own rookie when he makes mistakes which are going to happen. I believe we made the right pick based on what I've seen so far. But I also know what to expect from a rookie quarterback so I do not have really high expectations for this season other than to see an offense that is fun to watch.

This is going to happen anyway. There are more than a few out there who will absolutely have a field day if he has bad day. And if Bryce gets injured at some point, it will be a meltdown from those same people. If Stroud ends the season as the better QB, you don't think panthersGOATfan isn't going to come back in some iteration? I mean, there are already people saying Bryce needs to be basically perfect based on what we spent to trade up for him, and anything less than a record setting performance will be considered a failure.

I think you could count on one hand the number of fans here who would be happy if he has a bad game. As far as injury every fanbase will have a meltdown if their franchise QB is injured. Well fair or not there are high expectations for a number one pick. And we didn't just fall into the top pick we moved up. Different people have different standards. And truth be told going even further this is all child's play compared to the hate Cam Newton got even when he had our franchise contending and made us relevant instead of an afterthought. He was repeatedly made to be the villain in the media too. Bryce Young isn't going to get that treatment. So long as he has this franchise on a competitive path only a few knuckleheads will have anything negative to say about him. I'm just going to enjoy the ride who knows how long it will last.

There's a bunch of S2troud stan size queens just waiting so they can scream I told you so.  Can you believe another fanbase having as much affection for another team's QB as the  love here for S2troud?  Some are the same ones who were hoping and cheering for losses.

Some of us are just fans hoping the teams does well, even if Panthers don't do what we wanted the to.

S2troud?

Some of ya'll are compensating for something 😬

I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone still holding on to a beef back during the pre-draft process. It's no way to live.

No beef. You just chose the wrong one back then. Its alright

Yeah I never understood people like this. If we think we got the right guy (which I think we did) why are we so concerned about another rookie QB. Getting excited about a rookie having a bad preseason game is odd and very premature. I questioned some of our posters freaking out about Young’s scrimmage INT, but I’m not sure these Stroud haters are any better. I hope Stroud, AR, and Young all have great careers. It’s better for the league.

Everyone has an early favorite early in the draft process there were things to like and cons for both top QB prospects but once the draft neared within 2 weeks the obvious became clear. When the pick was made I was fully on board. That's what adults do. Sports aren't that complicated. I hope our new QB has a solid game today and the offense shows us flashes that give us hope for a fun season 🫡

I guess I did too, then.

That said, I won't take any pleasure in seeing Stroud fail if that happens. The only thing that would give me any consternation would be Stroud succeeding and Bryce not.

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you probably should've waited after the season is over before "going there," that way we we'd have four more games of comparison and discussion. Don't get me wrong, I occasionally go out on a limb, but Bryce just had his best game and has given people hope (which could realistically be false hope), and Shedeur just doesn't have that many games under his belt (even if he does look promising), one of them being against the Titans. No harm in being patient and letting things play out.  If you noticed, Tepper seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude, and he didn't mention Bryce in the clip in the other thread. I'm still highly skeptical of Bryce (and glad that Sanders has shown an ounce of success), but the reality is that we have to let things play out. The Sanders train left long ago (if it was even here). But,there are more realistic options if Bryce turns back into a frog.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      imagine thinking that talking about our next opponent is "gassing up" someone.... and then lying about basic info because it's not flattering to the league's worst starting QB since he arrived.  as a starter he is 2-3 (just a fact) as a starter vs Bryce this year pass yards per game - Shough rush yards per game - Shough comp % - Shough  QB rating - Shough yards/per attempt - Shough and Shough is only good for a 2nd year rookie thrust into the gig on a bad team.   He is getting graded on a curve of what he is.  And he won the last head to head vs us, and looked like the best QB on the field that day.   there are a billion red flags when it comes to Bryce Young.  This is just another.

      Imagine gassing up a 2-4 QB for a terrible division rival with stats worse than our QB in every category except raw yards per game
