Carolina Definitely Chose the Wrong QB

Yeah, the trade was a huge mistake and cost way too much. As for Young being peaked, eh, he can add muscle and get stronger. He can also work on his passing and footwork to improve them. Young can't do squat about his height though. He's not going to get taller.

I'm not willing to call him a bust yet though. Let's see what happens after he has an NFL offseason strength and conditioning program and hopefully at least an average NFL Oline playing to their strengths. Now, if he still looks bad after that, then yeah, I'd say he's a bust.

He went to Alabama - their S&C programme wouldn't look out of place in the NFL.

I wouldn't have made the trade for a QB, but if the Panthers did I identified the only 2 options.

1. Trade for Lamar Jackson who is the most primed QB per NFL history/data to win his first SB.

2. Draft CJ Stroud if you must take a 1st round rookie.

The best scenario I suggested 2022 offseason was to draft a #1 WR & TE to pair with CMC & Moore, draft 2 on the OL day 3 & load up on 3-4 young QBs to go for the 1999 Rams model moon shot. Garrett Wilson was that WR with true leadership. My top 2 TEs were Jelani Woods & Jake Ferguson. QBs were Purdy, Ridder, Glass & Coan. The OL additions were Zach Tom & Jamaree Salyer. Add Michael Mayer in 2023 (Jack Coan's other college TE)

Purdy, CMC, Wilson, Moore, Ferguson, Mayer, Tom, Christensen, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton would likely be the Panthers starting offense now.

I would have used the draft capital spent on Bryce Young to strengthen the defense.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
