I remembering cringing when I watched this on Panther's blueprints.  Morgan casually sending "dawgs" as a sound bite.  Seems like everything with this team is lip service.

Interesting from 20:31, dawgs remark @ 20:51

 

The entire thing is cringe, it’s all hype with no substance.

That’s another thing…

His parents seem to be attached to his hip at all times. It’s really not a good look and makes you wonder. I’m not sure he’s ever faced true adversity before in his football life. He’s had it pretty easy in high school/Bama. Now for him to finally face some adversity it’s clearly all too much for him

Cam Ward has bounced around a bit. Continuously out to prove himself and continues to do so. Give me a kid who’s been tested before and has come out on top  

Had Bryce gone to some random school like Kansas he’d never have even been drafted 

I know Bryce isn't working out for us, but this seems a bit unfair to him.  The reason he went to Alabama and "not some random school like Kansas" is because he earned it.  He was a 5* recruit and 2nd overall player in his class.  I don't see how you can say he had it any easier than CJ Stroud, who went to high school in the same area as Bryce and went to Ohio State.

LIS I know Bryce is looking like a bust for us but I don't think we should question the work he's put into this game.  Some players just don't work out no matter how much work they put in, it doesn't mean they haven't faced adversity.

I have been following Ward since his first year at WSU and really think he's NFL caliber.  The Oregon game in 2022 was the one that really sold me on him early.  They ended up losing but he showed so much ability to will his team downfield, at will, at all costs in that game.  He was young and got too aggressive at the end, but it was the first game that really teased a lot from his game. 

He's only grown since and I've been super impressed.  He passes all the physical traits, if anything he tries to play too much hero ball at times and can be a tad inaccurate, but he's developed so well IMO.

Bryce played high school ball at Mater Dei in Santa Ana, CA.  He was in a nationally recognized prep program from the age of 14 all he had to do was play the part.  Mater Dei, like Alabama is generally far superior to any competition they line up against.  In four years starting there Bryce only lost three games total.  Alabama was much the same story where Bryce only lost four games total in two years starting.

Point being from the time he was a freshman in high school until the time he was drafted #1 overall Bryce Young had only lost 7 total games.  Regardless of you feel about his play one thing is certain, he rarely if ever faced and adversity or played competition better than what he had to work with.  The NFL has exposed Bryce, it's the first time his side of the ball wasn't just better than the other side.

Mater Dei was so strategic on his family's behalf, he commuted there from Pasadena every day.  That was so brutal they probably took the 210 east to the 57 south to get there.  

When I lived out there, I had a few construction sites I managed at Caltech and also down near Costa Mesa.  I hated that drive so much...flames...on the side of my face...

I like Ward a lot.  He has some turnover issues (is a gunslinger) and holds on to the ball longer that I'd like, but hopefully he can cut back on both of these this year.  Also if you want an alpha dawg type QB he fits the mold.  He typically brings a fired up energy to his offenses. I want to see what he and Allar do this year.

I mean if you are tasked with being a franchise QB coming off a horrendous 2023 and did sht in the offseason....I have to question his dedication. I know there was a thread about that but still not sure what actual work he put in... I think hes accepted his fate and doesn't have any dawg in him... he shoulda been working on his craft but I don't see any evidence of that. All I really know about him is this gimpy pic on the right of these threads...pretending to be a QB...

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
