David Newton dropping nuggets: most execs say the jury is still out on Bryce

If you're suggesting that what NFL execs were saying regarding Bryce during this past 10 days is not interesting, then say it's not interesting to you.

Just because it's from a recent article doesn't make it interesting as it is old news to me.  I could care less who the sources are.  All this had been hashed out on this board numerous time.

exactly why would newton think we would give a poo about what execs say about bryce, we know what it is, and we know he is the qb moving forward.  Am I supposed to feel better now about him?  Newton is an idiot

I would bet the majority of this board has seen more NFL bryce then just about every other nfl exec.  What he has done prior to last season doesnt matter at all.  I would venture to say that I, like many other fans on here probably saw every snap young played.  If not all at least 98% of them.  And I dont have to be a nfl exec to see that his footwork was bad, his deep ball is bad, his hop throw motion is bad and his arm strength is bad.  And quite frankly it really doesnt matter what another team exec says, why would they give 2 shits about bryce?  Why would they say anything negative at all?  Does that ever happen?

Why would they say anything remotely positive at all if they didn't actually believe it? What he did in college still matters in the sense that his collegiate career is what led rise to his evaluations for an opportunity in the NFL.  And, to be quite frank, I could easily say what he did here last season doesn't matter at all. Context does matter; never forget that

Apparently, he wasn't the only one. Furthermore, I don't really think that he said anything "nice about Bryce," what he essentially said is that it's too early to give up on him due to the circumstances. Believe it or not, that is a rational opinion, regardless if you agree with it or not.

I would be willing to bet those on this board have watched 90% more of young then those execs

Agree 100% and when reporters ask questions about any nfl player do they ever just say the player is terrible I cant remember that ever being an answer to a reporter.  If it was all scheme and lack of talent then dalton would have looked terrible.

Saying nice things in public, and saying the truth about how much the guy sucks in team meetings and game-planning is how sports goes. You don’t want to motivate a player by saying he sucks. You make it self-evident on game day, which most teams did.

 

I said a while back that is exactly what is happening. Teams are not watch film in bryce and coming away worried about him beating them.

They are still going off his college. Don’t worry, the new fall guy is gonna run Alabama offense, that will fix everything. It’ll be great.

 

So what I want to ask is how in the fug can the offense be tailored to Stroud and Young both? Since they are so similar in style and tools.

    • All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers. 
    • When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.
    • But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
