He was the wrong pick but y'all have amnesia or are revising history to pretend Young wasn't going 1st to whoever. 2nd at the lowest.

Pretty much. Stroud turned out to be better than advertised. No one expected him to have the best rookie season ever. Sure plenty preferred him but at the end of the day Bryce and CJ were 1A and 1B in that class. The Texans HC himself even said that. It turns out Stroud was the better of the two and went to the better situation, amplifying the difference. All we can do now and see what Young can do in a better system with better support and decide if he is our future or not for there.

If Bryce had thrown the ball at the combine, I guarantee you he wouldn't have been 1A or 1B for any team.

This is going to be a soft ass team because we got a punk ass itty bitty soy boy with a noodle arm as our quarterback. Anything from zero to three wins is possible.

Is this the same dude that insulted and dug around for a picture of Verge just because she didn’t write a Bryce Young hit piece? Soft would be coming after people online with personal attacks just because their opinion of an athlete differs from yours.

I'd rather be 'soft' than delulu. The few Bryce defenders are all delulu. Don't give a F who Verge is. That article was a delulu puff piece written for goldfish.

Kept this iteration of you around long enough. Bye. See you in the next account....which, just a heads up, I'll go ahead and ban it too.

It was pretty evident in that Ohio State-Georgia game that CJ was the best college qb available. Some took it as a one off performance and then the S2! oh no! He did everything you could ask a qb to do in that game against what is basically an NFL level defense, then his kicker missed a game winning field goal so his performance went under the radar.

I agree and wanted Stroud. You can’t teach his kind of arm talent. However the scouts/analysts had it pretty split with more ranking Young higher if I’m being honest.

Burrow didn’t throw either. If you know you are going one there is no need for it. Throwing beside AR, Stroud, and Levis would have been dumb. Young’s tape was his top selling factor.

Yeah I'm just saying Stroud gave everything tangible proof he was him and it blew my mind his performance was taken as a one off. If that kicker had made that field goal and he had a chance for the championship vs Alabama I think the narrative would have changed

It could have definitely. Young did have beating UGA in his film. Stroud’s team couldn’t beat Michigan or win the Big10. Ryan Day really held him back and didn’t let him play freely until that UGA game when there was nothing to lose. Had they let Stroud play like that all year he would have been the consensus, but I’m not sure the Bear’s trade that pick in that scenario so it’s all for nothing.

Good point, we'll see if the Bears also fuged themselves by not just taking Stroud pretty soon! I'm not expecting much from Caleb Williams

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
