Not implying that Young will be a Brees (no way). They are following the 'Aints formula to protect a smaller QB with an average arm at best.

If they intend on keeping Young then they had to do something. 

Stack the middle of the Oline with stout players and get Young to move around a bit to see over the 6'6 lineman.

If this doesn't work then, Young needs to go.

Carl Nicks, Max Unger, Jahri Evans.  That's why the Saints were able to be so successful with Brees.  He  needed that interior push.

It's smart to replicate it.

Agreed, but with this one change

It is really not about seeing over the linemen as much as it is giving you the ability and confidence to step up--if pressure is coming from the outside, a QB can step up.  and it really doesnt disrupt the timing as much as having to bail out. 

Protection improves the timing, and timing increases the likelihood that the receiver will be open when the play is designed to get it to him.  Most DBs are measured by the time it takes them to close the gap after the break. 

Bryce is a smart kid, and when he can focus on the secondary instead of the front 7, he will improve. No, he is not known for his height or arm strength.  we shall see

Just because your arch enemy adopts an idea, doesn’t mean you should not consider it. If it is a good idea, then I would use it as quickly as possible. Don’t throw away a good idea just because you’re hated rival uses it.

For sure. A good line and we might even see the Sanders we over paid for.

This is exactly why I think we’ll be quiet at RB this offseason.  We’ll bring in some serviceable young guys that have little to no risk, but I doubt we’ll go beyond that this year.

      NBA Draft

      I don't follow the NBA but I think that kid has a lot of upside. Really good athlete for his size.

      Will the Panthers be better than most are expecting?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I truly don't see how they could be any worse than last season. Having a rookie head coach isn't always great but he seems to care much more than Frank ever did and appears to actually put forth effort while also having some sort of desire to improve so that in itself should help them exceed expectations.

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By Mage · Posted

      I literally said in my other post that we still deserve criticism, so what are you talking about?  Do you even know what my initial post was about?  Never once did I say it was okay to draft a bust because other teams draft busts. Mods, feel free to put me in my place if I'm going too far.  But it needs to be said. Some of you need to start reading posts in full instead of making it about Bryce every single damn time.  Ultimately my point was that drafting QBs is hard, and if it wasn't the Panthers mistake, it would have been another teams.  Just like Trey Lance, just like Mac Jones, just like Blake Bortles, just like Blaine Gabbert,... I can go on and on.   Yes, Panthers screwed up (assuming Bryce doesn't improve).  Yes, we should be criticized.  But it happens.  The guy asked how it happens and I was just answering his question.  That teams miss on QBs every year, because getting a QB is hard and teams will take every opportunity they can to get one.  But I'm not about to sit and discuss this with someone who thinks Levis even had .001% chance of going ahead of Bryce.  That tells me all I need to know.  No reasonable person would even throw him in the discussion.
