I think he'll go in the first, but I've seen some stuff hinting at him and Nix slipping to the second.

I think Nix is a 2nd round guy. Not really an elite arm talent. I do think he will be in the NFL for a long time.

But have you seen both of them play this season?

Phenix should have gotten the Heisman and Nix threw about 45 TDs, 4500 yards and above 77% completion rate.

So, Kiper has Nix as the 6th QB on his board, which is laughable. Nix had no reason to play today, but he did and balled out.

Agreed and if Penix keeps playing like he is, no way he's falling to the 2nd round.  If he's at 33 I take him, this team needs competition at QB and is rebuilding anyways.

Whoever is better between Young and Penix starts and the other is the backup.  (Young has been giving me more and more career backup vibes as the season goes on, even though I really don't want to totally judge him with this team around him...the whole team sucks!)

Yeah, I've seen them both play. Both have made the most of their college careers and hopefully will see success in the NFL. That said, teams seem to have a bias against older players.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I have been a big XL guy/fan.  He know doubt was drafted because he fits a role that is in all the Os Canales has been around.  my concern is Bryce, and it’s probably not a talent issue on this aspect.  Just a QB DNA thing.  I really think Canales and XL pair best with a gunslinger/risk taker.   You want to limit gunslinger with the run but then need the QB to go downfield aggressively.   Bryce needs to simply play and be more aggressive downfield.   Which is easier said than done if not wired that way

      Let Rod Walk

      Agreed. People who say this are of the same ilk as "WE GOTTA GET RID OF RICHARDSON SO WE CAN GET THE NFL SHIELD OFF THE FIELD." How is that working out now?  Rod can stay as long as he likes and keeps fielding one of the best teams in the NHL. He does need someone on the staff that understands goalies. That has always been a weakness for him.

      Do I want Bryce Young to be a good QB? Yes, the Panthers homer in me is rooting for him to turn it around against all odds and prove all the haters wrong.  Do I think Bryce Young will be a good QB? No. And the odds are he won’t be. I didn’t think he’d translate to the NFL from the moment I watched him against the Texas defense in 2022, a game Alabama only won because Quinn Ewers got knocked out of the game. When he faced pressure he looked like sh*t and that’s the exact same QB we saw in the NFL. He’s too short to step up in the pocket so you have to design a gimmick offense to allow him to improvise plays. He didn’t scream “first overall pick” to me at least.  Meanwhile CJ Stroud played out of his mind in the biggest game of his life against the best defense in college football and the Panthers said nah we’re going to draft the 5’9 guy who couldn’t carve up an average Texas defense.
