Is Young the worst #1 pick in NFL history?

Objectively speaking, the answer is without a doubt a resounding yes. Anyone who doesn't think so is grossly uninformed, or delusional, or just trolling.

He should have been a day two or three afterthought. A flyer. That is all he was worth. 
I took him off my board no lie. 
 

edit: okay that was a lie.  I didn’t have a board. But he would have never made it to it if I did.

I got dunked on last year for asking if this was the worst trade of all time. It's already bad. And the funny thing is it's not done yet. We STILL have a second round pick coming up that we gave up for Bryce. 

I was with you. I laid out in detail how bad trading up was for the team and that drafting a 1st round champion QB to build around is a rarity. Only contending teams can afford to plug and play 1st round QBs.

Bryce is definitely the worst QB value taken at #1 in the modern draft. JaMarcus Russell was likely worse as a QB.

Oakland was 2-14 in 2006, earning the first pick in the 2007 draft. Thus, they gave nothing away to get Russell. The Panthers traded the ninth pick in the 2023 draft AND their best receiver, D.J. Moore to get Young.

WOW!

Clearly the worst piick in NFL history. 

And passed on Stroud.

Man I saw this coming from a million miles away. The only reason this kid was even relevant at the college level was because of the receivers and backs he threw the ball to at Alabama. We were loaded the 2 years Bryce started and he still couldn’t win a national championship. The only reason is arm strength the 2 years he started at Bama his completion percentage for balls thrown farther than 20 yards down the field was awful. Defenses we plaid usually would not put a safety much deeper than 10 yards because they knew there was no threat of a deep ball. I was never a fan

    • Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.
    • I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is. 
    • I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
