He is from Mullins, SC and stayed in SC to play his college ball.  Sounds like he wants to STAY in Carolina.  Which I could see Leggette really wanting to be here.   Which he could be playing that angle hard from his side too. 

He is also a small town country boy and maybe living in an urban area 3000 miles away is intimidating to him---he seemed (when interviewed) to be a different character.  Heck, he is proving that by talking to the media about the Panthers.

yeah, and I think he clearly has had some hardships.  Losing both his parents.  His support system simply might be more Carolina based and important to him and less mobile.   I couldsee  him getting cherry picked to some random city across the country maybe being harder for him and him wanting to stay close to what he knows. 

I mean, I think it is clear he wants to play for us.  Which to me, is a positive.  I think he is playing that card. 

I personally really like Leggette.  I've been firm on that for some time.  I just don't like him at the top of round 2.

or an idiot.  If he doesnt have the smarts to understand he cant say such things before the draft, what team secrets would he blurt out if drafted.

we’re questioning his intelligence now lol? 

people get so emotionally invested in these draft picks and if they don’t like the prospect things get weirdly personal

players say things like this every season

its normal

Why? What’s the worst that could happen? Someone takes him in the first to stop us from getting him and he makes more money??

there’s this angle as well, saying something like this has no downside for him and could yield real benefits, but you’re not going to convince people whose in depth draft evaluations have already made decisions

it can hurt him if teams pass on him because he has loose lips

Yeah but if they liked him early in the 2nd maybe they make a move to jump us. There is nothing to lose saying this.

I don't think he is dumb.  I think he is trying to make it known he WANTS to play for a team that likely most people would prefer not to get selected too.   That's just a reality.  And you want dudes that are all in and excited.  I mean, it might not work out in his favor but I would say that easily could be a calculated decision. 

So all things being equal between him and another player.....you want the dude excited and that wants to be a Panther? Or the dude who is like awe, poo.....the Panthers drafted me.  Because you know those players exist. 

I mean, he wants to play for his local team that played in his backyard growing up.  That's a lot of players.  I don't think teams are going to ding a talented kid that's then going to have a chip on his shoulder if he doesn't go there.  You here about that chip a lot too.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
