Quoting Rap:

Quote

"It all revolves around the quarterback. Bryce will get all of the focus, all of the attention, all of the headlines, and all of that. Which is fine, because really what he is is a symbol. If he's ascending, if he looks like the quarterback that the Panthers drafted... and let's be real: this guy was going #1 no matter who was taking the pick so it's not like the Panthers made some decision. Everybody had Bryce Young #1."

Pretty obvious "if the QB is good, the team will have hope" but I thought it was interesting that somebody dialed in as much as Rapoport definitively said that everybody had him at #1 considering how many fans want to believe otherwise.

Well, I definitely didn't have him at 1 because I knew Stroud would be good. Had Stroud way far ahead at 1, followed by Richardson and then Bryce a little below him.

Going to be honest though - I didn't think Bryce would be this awful.

Thats the thing.  If our dumbasses on here could see it you telling me professional scouts and NFL front offices couldnt?  Bullshit.  He is just gassing bryce up for the local/team media.  I mean we had scouts saying some NFL teams had him completely off their board.  So yeah he is just playing to the crowd here.

I guess 2/3 of the huddle as well as myself were the only ones with foresight

he is literally at Panthers camp.  He has been in the game a long time.  

There is no way 32 NFL teams all with different schemes and offensive emphasizes are going to agree on any QB as #1 outside of the most rare drafts.  Which this one wasn't.

Nobody can say what would or would not have happened under different scenarios especially involving other teams. Don't need to go down this rabbit hole anymore to justify the pick.

I can say for myself Stroud's arm talent was vividly evident on his game film. It was not the same for Young. Seeing their respective rookie seasons only confirms the obvious. That's just all there is to it. We made our bed. Time to accept and move forward.

Believing this is like believe the bullshit that everyone in the front office all agreed it was bryce.  I mean thats a blatant lie to try and sell him.   No way in hell Reich wanted him for starters.

People got fooled thinking Bryce is athletic because he could outrun a bunch of nobodies on teams like Ole Miss and Vandy, while everyone thought that CJ would crumble because he couldn't escape the pocket like Bryce.

What these idiots didn't realize is that CJ could make throws from the pocket and fit them into tight windows while Bryce couldn't, which is why he didn't bother trying to run unnecessarily. When he actually needed to run (like the Georgia game), it should have been obvious to everyone that he has enough mobility.

And yeah, Ian Rappaport usually knows nothing and then just reiterates things way later after like 10 reporters have already reported said info... Dude is as accurate as the weather reporter trying to predict the weather a month in the future...

yep, we follow 1 team and it was split in house until the powers that be declared it was Bryce.   Which makes sense that people viewed it different.  There was no player all 32 NFL teams were going to be in agreement on. 

Ian knows his job.  He said what he was supposed to on camera at Panthers camp.

Yep, just unfortunate because you can't miss like that on the #1 pick or you will be awful the next 5+ years

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
