Carolina Definitely Chose the Wrong QB

[Calboyz13]

CJ is the reason why you don’t put all your eggs in one basket. I remember a lot of Panther fans calling stroud slow and stupid because of a S2 score that no one still knows what the true score was. If we didn’t have to trade the farm for Bryce, I think Adam and DJ with Stroud would have been a nice trio with a healthy offensive line, of course. If CJ Stroud reaches the next level and becomes even better while Bryce declines even more, we might be in trouble for some years to come. All those Bryce young lovers stating that Bryce cleared CJ on every aspect of being a QB, he’s making y’all truly eat your words. Huge credit to Slowick as well

Stroud was my preference going into the draft and still was my preference on draft night. Not sure how anyone watched that UGA game and could come away with a different opinion.

I coped by telling myself whatever QB our "all-star" coaching staff believed in was good enough for me and would support either. 

Just lol in hindsight.

I am now coping further that it's all Slowik and he's my new number 2 choice for our next HC behind Harbaugh even ahead of Ben Johnson.

Stroud wouldn’t have looked like the ROY on this poo sandwich of a team this year

Would be better than Young .. there was never a comparison

I’m pretty sure most people on here wanted Stroud. We can’t change history though.  

[Waldo]

Most of the backups were better too so that's more fun.

And if a team is going to hope a QB can carry the entire offense they might want to actually draft someone with physical talent that can see the field. Real NFL rocket science stuff right there.

It’s like every choice we made this off-season was incorrect, outside of Evero and Thelien.

I’m all on board with Slowik being our HC behind Johnson. I was excited when I got the notification of us trying to interview him

the Houston Texans almost had the #1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft not because they traded up for it like Carolina  but because yes they were arguably the worse team in the NFL whenever they selected CJ Stroud #2 overall...just saying

[Castavar]

As soon as we traded up to #1, I think the consensus on this board was Stroud. Even Vegas had it as such. We had McCown calling him "Joe Burrow 2.0", having everybody geeked out that we were getting our own Joe Burrow. Until a month later when Tepper stuck his fat nose into the decision and ruined everything.

But yeah, like somebody said earlier, anybody that watched Stroud SHRED that historic Georgia D knew the kid was going to be something special. I'm keeping my receipts!!!

Where would carolina have been picking if they had left Rhule in place? A new coaching staff makes a huge difference. Should have left Rhule in place if you were gonna trade up to #1. Opposite of smart.

False.  Many had Young and Stroud at best even.  Most people were worried about size and durability but that turned into nothing.  Carolina sucks top to bottom and Young can’t overcome the entire train wreck in his rookie season.  This idea is really stupid actually 

[TheBigKat]

It’s over

 

 I hope we stink again next year for a 2025 first round pick

One more year and we can pick tepper's wrong choice again
