Should be a fun low scoring, game. Watch it turn out now to a shootout. 

Anyway, I see the Patriots are doing it right with the #3 pick in the draft. In practice Maye is getting 30 percent of first team reps. Learning behind a seasoned vet. They don't want to rush and ruin this kid. It will be interesting to see how he progresses. Wish we would have done that with Young.

I dont. It would only delay the inevitable. Lots of us knew he wasnt going to be a franchise QB from the start and he just proved it.

Okay, not suggesting you do this work, but find a major talking head that even once suggested he was not the most pro ready football mind ever. I am agreeing with you btw, not arguing against your opinion. 

People were not even debating it as I remember it. 

Everyone was touting his readiness to step right on to an NFL field and take the team forward.

NOW, they pretend they weren't saying that stuff and look to pass the bad evaluation off and organizational dysfunction.

When in reality, taking him is the prime example of the team's dysfunction in the first place.

 I don't care where he went - he cannot play like he is trying to play and get away with it in the NFL.

We ruined Jimmy Clausen by not doing that, should have kept Jake to start untill he was ready and mentored him when he did start has the back-up , but alot of different reasons why that didn't happen I'm not going to rehash 

However I don't think there was anything we could have done to make Bryce taller and stronger and faster , he isn't an NFL QB , and the media may say he is good and no QB can succeed in Carolina , untill he gets picked up by another franchise and cut a week later

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
