He won't be named in any all time bust lists by anyone outside of this board tbh. 

Jamarcus Russell: 7 wins - 18 losses in 25 career starts, winning percentage 28.0%

Bryce Young: 11 wins - 26 losses in 37 career starts, winning percentage 29.7%

Oakland had the number 1 pick when they selected Russell they didn't have to give up extra assets.

For us he's the biggest bust in franchise history. In the nfl league wide he would fall somewhere in the top 10, possibly even top 5.

This. Don't forget the draft began in 1936. 90 first overall picks. 10 years of AFL drafts before merger. Add in a few years of USFL drafts. Over 100 first overall draft picks & yes, Bryce does crack the top ten busts, IMO.

He's at the top when you factor in what we gave up to get him. He doesn't have an attitude or effort problem like Russell or Leaf had so he's able to hide from the media about it because he's such a good dude. But in terms of investment to performance...he's competing for #1 all time if he isn't already there.

I think given the trade he is probably the biggest Panthers draft bust.  I think more and more people are coming around to that.

But the very fact he started 30+ games means he is far from a top bust overall IMO.

This is a rather subjective subject, and I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone about exactly where he lands.  But I definitely think he is Top 10.

But even a year ago, The Sporting News had Brycie Boy at #6.  It doesn't really say how they came to their rankings but it appears they may be ranking purely by statistics although the article does mention the haul we traded away to get the #1 pick.  

I had forgotten about some of the guys on this list.

Maybe, but I think you can chalk that up to sunk cost fallacy. Jawalrus was #1 overall, so it was a little easier to justify moving on from him than #1 overall + #1 overall + 2nd round pick + DJ Moore.

If Bryce had only cost us the #1 overall pick in 2023, I firmly believe his benching in 2024 would have been the end of the line.

I think it also has to be factored in how much else has been spent to support him. It's not just the picks to get him, but an obscene amount just to try and build an offense to see if he's even serviceable as a starter. We've spent 3 years worth of picks and resources for results that would have been cut in training camp if he hadn't been an overall number 1.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
