I've now had to watch Rice and Navy run the option offense today since work was slow. 

I would've rather been working. 

I've had the flu since the day after Christmas so I've watched the hell out of some shitty bowl games.

Damn dude, that's brutal.  Hope you feel better soon.

Yea, these games are all tough to watch with the opt outs. 

Also makes gambling on them nearly impossible.

Dylan Raiola to Oregon pretty much confirms that Dante Moore will be entering the draft.

Not necessarily.  He's coming off  injury and still has a redshirt in his back pocket.   The DE is going back, Matayo U. Yeah, I'm not going to try to spell that last name.  They have until tomorrow.  Miami and Indiana players have a week after the game to decide.

It was a simple bone break. He's expected to be fully ready to go for the 2026 season. Players don't transfer in this environment to redshirt. They transfer to collect a bag and play immediately.

The memes and jokes of him being a Mahomes wannabe are funny (and not wrong) but I wouldn't be surprised to see him blossom in Oregon. He was a highly tourted recruit for a reason and the next QB that plays well under Matt Rhule will be the first.

Outside of Mendoza, crappy year to need a starting QB that isn't a complete project.  Ty Simpson is QB2 and he's got plenty of concerns.

The 2027 QB draft just got even deeper.

If we miss out on this QB jackpot because we are still on the fence about Bryce Young, I just might have to shelve my Panthers fandom permanently. I can't continue to cheer for folks suffering from self-imposed mental retardation beyond that.

It's why it's so baffling Moore is going back to school. He's the clear cut QB2 and would probably go in the top 15-20, maybe higher.

Top 10 certainly, maybe top 5. I can appreciate what he said.  He basically said...paraphrased 'he strives for excellence and prides himself in being completely ready for the next challenge.'  He's only a RSO and started about 20 games.  He's basically admitting he's not ready for the NFL yet.  

In reality he was destined to be drafted by the Jets or Browns...so part of the decision may have been strategic.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
