Dammit CJ Stroud looks good again so far tonight.......

I was hoping he would suck tonight to make me feel better. My kid kept calling for CJ Stroud in the draft and I am supposed to be the football "expert" in his eyes due to my history with the sport but I wanted Levis so his pick blew mine out the water. All I hear now is how he was right and I was wrong. Neither of us picked Bryce for what it's worth but both got behind him in support big time so it's been quite a bummer all the way around the past couple years.

As Panthers fans we're gonna be hearing about this one for years.

I've accepted it. Just have to swallow that lump in your throat and keep moving.

All that being said. This oft used cope by some people that he would have sucked here needs to never be seen again. Talent is talent. He might have had some struggles here but he unequivocally would change this offense with his physical abilities.

I agree with everything you just said. There is no way Stroud would have looked sucked here because he is simply as solid as they get. I can't believe we flubbed that draft so badly and traded so much for that pick. Truly depressing that out of all the QB's drafted early that year we ended up with the only player who is already failing out of the league beyond a shadow of a doubt. The other guys not named Stroud are not guaranteed yet but they still have a shot. Bryce on the other hand now feels as if it is all said and done on Bryce's career already this early into it. I just really cant see a turnaround at all. Never seen anyone look as bad as Bryce let alone completely change their trajectory before. I understand struggling but not looking flat out that scared and terrible. Worst case I have ever personally watched

I'm past this and pull for Stroud cause I like him. I've now set my eyes on 2025. We will have a new chance to get it right. Hopefully we do.

 

Do you think they will draft QB in 2025 or give Bryce another season? I mean we are the Tepper Panthers so im paranoid of us doing something completely nonsense stupid like give Bryce another season next season.

I think Canales will want his own guy, new regime typically means new QB. So I forsee one if we are anywhere in the top 5.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
