I use the eye test. Sure rookie qbs lose games. The good ones also show you why they're good even while losing. Young has shown he was the product of 2 great systems. Elite talent in Highschool and elite talent in College propped him up. Also SEC defenses absolutely sucked while he started at Bama. Now the NFL has shown that. If this kid played at Wake or NC state he would've been undrafted. He has 0 tools for nfl success and its very apparent.  The sooner they cut ties from this colossal draft mistake the sooner Tepper can get on to making other mistakes......

Looking like it. 
 

This was my angle a year before while discussing QB’s in the Corral draft. 
 

Everyone drooling over Young/Stroud…but the unanswerable question mark was how much success was them vs. the talent around them. 
 

Pickett/Corral/Howell, etc didn’t have the supporting casts that Young/Stroud did. 
 

Stroud has already shown he is an individually talented player. 
 

Young? Still waiting. Not looking likely.

Not much to look forward to and I think that says everything.

The sooner the team moves on from the people that have to justify the pick the sooner we get a real look at him doing things those people have gone to great lengths to avoid. Start at Bryce under center plays with power running and then some play action under center while seeing if that helps open up the other parts of the offense.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
