Do you watch CJ Stroud and wonder ‘what if’?

15 TD’s and 2 INT’s as a rookie is insane. The comebacks he’s made are incredible. 
 

Bryce is in a worse situation but he wouldn’t be doing that in Houston. It doesn’t mean he won’t be good later but he’s looking really really bad the last 2 weeks. 
 

I held on hope but at this point it looks like we obviously missed on the better QB. Stroud was always a better thrower. And yes it sucks and this is the first time I’ve let myself admit it.

It's going to set us back for many years to come.  Really it's the worst case scenario.  We can't fix it next year b/c we're giving the Bears the top overall pick.  Means we'll have to wait for another year of horrible football to get back to even picking our next QB.

Years of pain incoming for us Panthers fans!

We go through this every draft pick.  Remember when people kept saying we should have gotten Fournette because he was doing so good with the Jaguars and CMC couldn't run up the middle.  Then there was the Ridley vs DJ threads.

People thought CMC sucked because he average less than 4 yards a carry his first year here.

I also remember the Cam threads after his rookie year.

Picking Bryce over Stroud doesn’t set you back. Bryce being a bust sets you back.

I still feel like this team (players, coaching staff, meddling owner) set up whichever pick was made to fail. At least short-term. That doesn't excuse some bad games, but it does excuse some of the problems that arose in other losses.

Who doesn't? Tune into the Commanders at 4:25 to see another episode of the "what if" show while pandering what Matt Corral is doing these days.

We could have waited for the other Carolina QB to turn Pro then. Sad thing is we would have a first round pick and Chicago would have had Young. Letting Foreman go was the mistake we made. Alabama always had a damn fine RB to go with their QB's. What happens when you always go on the cheap.

Yeah that's what I meant.  It's too early to say Bryce is a bust so far he's trending in the wrong direction and with the surrounding cast he has it's not going to turn around this year.  I guess we'll see what happens next year...

You could see talent in those guys. You can't in Young. He hasn't made 1 play that says this guy's gonna be it. 

lol yes he has.  See I can tolerate people comparing Bryce Young and the absurd season CJ Stroud is having, but some of the doomering over us drafting Tony Pike with the first overall pick or whatever is bullshit.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
