Davis was literally drafted to be a Spy for Vick twice a year - they developed him from there. 

True. I think people forget that he was almost viewed the way Chinn was around here aside from being an answer to Vick.

Just didn't know where to put him. Too big for a safety and too small for an LB at that time, but we tried him and listed him at both.

For a while we just didn't think he'd stick around. He was fast and he could hit and that was about the extent of it.

It took a few years but we eventually got it figured out. Just need patience.

Local espn and sports talk shows are roasting this pick today. All said Wilson, Butkus award winner should have been the pick. Even Luke endorsed the kid.  
 

This reeks of DJ Johnson last year.  

Are you saying the local sports radio guys wanted the local guy 😀

I think he was flagged as a major injury risk by a lot of teams.

mac and bone were borderline unlistenable today.  I had to cut it off halfway through their draft "evaluation"  There is being a homer and happy about the draft and then there is that.  Whatever over the top balls in mouth analysis you want to call it but it was not rational.

To be honest I think beyond the injuries there is concern he has peaked as a LB. He is great as is but coupled with the ware and tear he already has on his body I can see why a lot of teams didn't want to risk a high pick on him. I do not fault anyone either way.

Full disclosure I probably wouldnt have blown a high pick on wilson, but if last year was his peak he is still going to be a damn good linebacker for pitt.  Dude was a master player caller and simply all over the field.  The not having an acl is curious as hell because he was unstoppable last season

The same local sport radio guys who want to get a spark out of their increasingly dwindling audience.

And don’t you dare text in and tell them any Bryce criticism. 

EDIT: as far as LBs ands Wilson, man I would love to have him but those injuries are part of the deal. They are scary.

I don’t think this guy is near as unfinished. 

edit: a team Captain at Kentucky as a Junior. That’s getting a quality person. Which if he can’t play won’t matter but let’s see. I think he looks pretty good.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By frankw · Posted

      I feel like anyone within the Panthers fanbase no matter where they land on Bryce should agree on this. He's a good kid. He's intelligent. But ultimately is he going to ever be the guy to command a locker room? Obviously none of us can say. But I just don't get any alpha vibes from him whatsoever. Is that a dealbreaker? Not necessarily. Here's the thing though. We had the talk of his generational years ahead of his age leadership trait clubbed over our heads for weeks nonstop before the draft. But after seeing someone like Sam Darnold navigate life as a starting QB I think anyone here should be able to acknowledge homerism there are some similarities to Darnold in terms of personality. That is not what we were sold. All of this takes me back to before the draft. I just can't shake the sense that Stroud just rubbed Tepper or someone the wrong way. Was he too confident? Not subservient enough? Did they feel Bryce was more marketable and media savvy? My gut says these things weighed more into the pick than they should have. If not. Stroud more than likely would have been the selection. What's done is done though. I'm just like you though. I want to see some fire from Bryce at some point this season. But I'm expecting to be disappointed considering his first order of business following one of the worst rookie seasons ever was to detach completely and do nothing. As always. Hoping for the best. I feel like I have to put a disclaimer at the end of this post for the Bryce superfans. I want to see him do well. I don't want this to end in the worst case scenario. There now we can be friends!

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Basbear · Posted

      I felt the Cam vibes on the huddle with Bryce, in fact its almost there. Threads that have no mention of young, turn in them.  Only deal is Cam had tons more supporters/nut huggers.  I honestly hated talking Cam with 90% of the huddle, in many eyes he was perfectly accurate with all his throws and if he had a legit great game the true haters were missing in action.   Cam board is now a Bryce board...
