Alright, since it's a slow slow off-season, here's a quick story away from the stagnant Panthers...

I was at church tonight and there was a group of kids around 18 that were sitting two rows in front of us. Prior to the service this kid kept looking back for someone. Finally he left his seat and came back with Jim Szoke and his wife. They sat right next to him and the group of young folks. I was asking myself who this kid could have been.

After the music a video came on about Szoke, his wife, and Abdul (I think his name was). Szoke was talking about hearing about a kid from a high school, I'm guessing that one of his kids goes to school with, that was homeless. The kid rides the city bus to school everyday. Anyway, he was saying that him and his wife had him over one night and then was taking him back to the homeless shelter. After dropping him off Jim and his wife said that they had to do something.

Mentioning, that they had five children in their house, they still wanted to bring him home with them to stay. Said that when he brought out his trash bags full of clothes, someone asked him where he was going. He said..."I'm going home." Turns out the kid grew up in the Bronx and is homeless at 18, but now has a home with Jim and his wife.

The whole time Jim's wife was hugging this kid, and he seemed extremely appreciative and elated.

I just thought this was a cool story to share.

      Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.

      Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him

      I'd honestly take The Golden Calf of Bristol over Young. You know you can design an O around his skillset to win you games. Plus, as a bonus, said O would wear him down within 3 years so you could move on from him.
