I wanted Richardson but I had them Richardson, Stroud, Young. But I said at the time that I could be swayed hard by their interviews. I just had extremely serious concerns about Bryce's physical tools.

By the time i finished my personal evaluations, i had it.

Stroud 

Richardson 

Young

Levis 

I was the most unimpressed with Youngs tape but gave him the nod over Levis because of accomplishments. Thats it really.

2nd round pick. Imagine if Jimmy played one more season and the Panthers took him first overall, and Cam went 2nd overall. Thats how bad this is. Its unironically one of the worst draft decisions in NFL history.

You're right. I completely forgot Jimmy was a 2nd round pick.

If Stroud ends up being great and Bryce busts, yeah... this pick and trade up will be a part of sports cautionary tale banter for a loooooooong time.

Not really. It sets you back two years. And what difference does it make if Tepper’s still making the hires and the draft picks? None.

Be honest. Right now Bryce looks like a future sports trivia question answer.

"Who was the QB drafted #1 overall over CJ Stroud after the Panthers traded two 1sts, two 2nds, and DJ Moore to get the pick?"

*everyone nervously chuckles and groans and shakes their head feeling the weight of the cringe*

Will we 'Josh Rosen'' Bryce?  Tepper will clean house before he owns up to this epic blunder even if Bryce ends up being as bad as Rosen.  Rosen was averaging just under a TD a game he started while averaging a pick per game.  He went into a tailspin and was playing worse by the end of his rookie season, not better.  Keeping rookie QBs out there--so they can grow through adversity, can be detrimental rather than beneficial.

Bryce is right there, just slightly better than Rosen, with roughly a TD and pick per game average.

No team in NFL history has traded next year’s first round pick and had that turn out to be the number one pick

Our moron front office hoped he had Tom Brady IQ/awareness. Unfortunately Bryce has jamarcus Russell IQ/awareness without the athleticism of jamarcus. Just a god awful draft pick 

His physical limitations notwithstanding, there is reason for optimism. Before yesterday, he had a 90% QBR which is not bad for a rookie. No matter how high your IQ, accuracy or athleticism, you’re not doing diddly-squat if your OL can’t block or run block consistently or WRs can’t get open.

Not saying Young will be a future HOF, but neither Stroud (the one I wanted) and Richardson would look like much with this roster as currently constructed offense- wise.

Bryce ain’t it. Bryce is a bad NFL QB.  The HC is worse than rhule.  Woo wooo. Wooo.  Can’t believe how bad this team is. We aren’t even competitive.  
 

Young is Russell and leaf bad. 
 

fit is fired tmrw. Inside sources btw…

Young is not even as bad as JC Horn and Ekwonu.

I told everyone before the draft that his arm was NFL average at best and that it was my opinion he had a below average NFL arm. But his arm is significantly worse than I thought. When he doesn't have plenty of runway to step up he can't generate any velocity at all.

And this has been shouted from the rooftops by some. Since his Pro Day in my case. Took very little squinting to see the light. 

Kind of like our society, it is definitely a parallel. People are in a place where just saying something seems to make it true for them. Reality be damned. 

It isn’t that he can’t make some plays and some throws and probably win some games. 

It IS that you do not ever even consider doing what was done to get him on the Panthers. You don’t under any circumstances. My rule prior, for sure my rule post.

    • I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.
    • It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!
    • I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
