If Bryce would ever get a fair shot, it would have not been picking him 1.1. The expectations are greater than his ability. He will never meet those expectations IMO. 

 He wouldn’t be getting 20% of the crap he has gotten opinion wise if he were picked where his actual abilities slotted him. 

I do agree that part of being a great player is resilience and some of these past ‘ruined’ players had less than they needed.

A third round throwaway pick? His Draft stock elevated because he's a QB in a QB needy league?

We aren't to the point on our roster where we can throw away 2nd and 3rd round picks. That's a reason why our roster is as bad as it is.

Good teams can afford to do that because they don't have dumpster fire rosters.

I am like, so what?

It is the right thing to do. Someone is getting rewarded. And if we suck at drafting, all the more reason to take a flyer. Doesn’t have to be a third but you might do well using a third  at the right time. 

RealIy I am thinking if you do your job and nail the first two rounds how bad can it be to miss later?

I’m almost more curious to see what Baker does this year than I am to watch Bryce. 

If you go and watch all of Baker’s touchdown passes from 2023, there’s maybe 4-5 that Young doesn’t have the arm strength for or that we simply don’t have Mike Evans.

If Young’s able to correctly process what’s out there then in this offense his numbers should be at minimum decent. If they’re not then he’s truly absolute dog sh!t. 

If Baker takes a major step back then I’ll look forward to Canales getting to pick his guy in 2025

Got to be patient.  Bryce needs this season to show if he can be the guy or not.  Having Canales' system seems to have worked out for some other QBs.  We will just have to see.

I'm not a huge fan of painting Bryce a bust in before training camp starts.  If the 2025 season ends and he's not looking like the leader the team needs, then it's time to find a new QB.  I know some of y'all are going to pile on him for not being perfect in preseason games, or making mistakes.  Short of becoming the best QB in the NFL this season, some of you will never be happy.

We're stuck in the offseason with many unknowns, with nothing else to discuss after one of the worst seasons by any team in the NFL...  Sucks to be us, that's for sure!

We don't hit 1st, 2nd or 3rd round picks in the Tepper era. We already reached on a QB in Matt Corral that was an unmitigated disaster. 

We have to fix our talent evaluation, then build a real NFL roster, THEN we can do poo like take QB's every couple of seasons. 

We aren't anywhere near that. Most of of our backup guys are barely NFL caliber.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
