I said top five but to me he is easily the number one most obvious  fail, before being drafted. 
You could make cases for most of the other guys that come to mind. Not him, in my book. There was no reason to believe.

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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
