The tide finally turns... Even Bryce nut huggers at PFF finally admit the obvious.

I mean there was another QB that absolutely looked the part and demonstrated his abilities in his first season. We'll see how he works out long term, but we had a solid option that passed the eye test.

I would never have traded up like that in the first place. But once that was done Stroud was the clear choice. If I were going to gamble like that, he was the horse. 
I am not fond of gambling like that and would have missed him in the first place. Just pointing out the obvious. 

I have never even watched Dart play and I hear the downsides. I am not pumping him per se. Point is he was close to an XL level investment and that is a massive difference in risk.

That is where I want to live as opposed to trying to move into the top two picks type of approach. 
I know if we do this right we can upgrade without breaking everything else.

To be fair to the Panthers, Bryce was seen as the best QB in the draft by a lot of folks, not fans but commentators and many scouts etc... Alabama really fooled people, and OSU also was considered fools gold.
