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 

Stroud was by a significant margin being talked up for months before the draft by many people here as someone we should try to get.

Who was pounding the table for Bryce Young last fall?

First, not sure we need to start a new thread each time. Stroud looks amazing, better than I even anticipated. With that said, coaching matters. His coaches have put him in a position to succeed. He’s clearly talented but I don’t believe he would have had the same season here.

To my recollection, people weren't touting for Bryce, but rather content if he were to be the pick. I think people starting accepting it after news starting coming out that Tepper really liked Bryce and after the S2 scores started being leaked.

To be fair, nobody thought we’d have a shot as he was the presumed #1 pick.

I was huge on Stroud after the trade and was open about my disappointment with us going with Bryce pre-draft.

Now I never thought CJ would be this good, this soon. But I feel fully vindicated but also a painful topic because of what could have been.

Tepper owes the fans an apology for passing on Stroud. He was clearly the right choice pre-draft, he was the one who you had to do the least amount of question marks and excuses for. So stupid.

False…just wrong.  I don’t really care cuz anyone trying to put this on a 22 year old rookie is way past convincing

I mean, it really doesn't matter anymore. In the end, we picked the wrong QB. This will be a franchise altering decision for the next decade+.

You are bipolar…see a doctor.  Because one thing is great does not mean another cannot be great.  Time is a linear thing not a point.  Seek help

I mean, if this is how you cope, you do you.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By rayzor · Posted

      agreed. reich and fox were kind of similar in that i think their comfort zone with QBs were established vets.  any rookie QB would have been outside that. i do think that he might have been more comfortable with stroud than young, but i also still think that we would have been stuck in a bad place. there was more than went wrong than with the QB. nothing worked and QB issues were one of many symptoms of the problem that we found ourselves in with reich. the whole thing was too much for him. not only did he get a QB outside of his comfort zone, he got unfamiliar assistants that came from unfamiliar schemes. he had no prior relationship with most coaches he had added to his staff.  again, that staff was tepper's idea...get the dream staff with a billion years of experience and those who don't have a poo ton of experience were coaches that were considered up and comers for HC jobs.  reich is a mild-mannered passive likeable kind of guy. he wasn't the big dominant personality that would be needed to handle that staff.

      Panthers ranked as NFL's 2nd-worst roster

      By frankw · Posted

      I can't blame anyone in sports media for not believing we've made a big enough jump talent wise to compete. I mean let's be realistic. In the eyes of many of us here we were improved on paper under Scott Fitterer each offseason the last few years. Just because we're once again buying in doesn't mean the rest of the sports world will also. Then you go back to preseason last year and the downplaying of how horrific we looked not just offensively but as a whole. If we look competent in preseason  I will begin to feel some level of confidence about the direction of the team and so will those in the sports world. Until then nothing we've done matters.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Yeah we don't have a beast mode, and Bryce doesn't threaten with the play action/scramble deep shots. That's the majority of the reason that formula worked in Seattle during that stretch. I hope Brooks is a good back, but he's definitely not a beast mode type.
