Guy has been giving his all with 5 different franchises and has been kicked to the curb again and again.  He never talks down about his previous teams or players. Seems like an upstanding dude who has earned his chance. Happy that between Mayfield and him, he gets to go and try for a ring.

We really didn't give him much of a chance. Our entire team was in shambles, and he didn't have much help here.  He balled out against LA and he's proven he can win big games. We gave up on him way too soon.

Good luck to him.

Always a classy guy.  Showed progress his final season here, but we can never fool ourselves, he would not be who he is staying here, he would have plateaued.  Smartest thing he ever did was take the backup role in SF and learn in the Shannahan system.  HE followed that to Minnesota where he had elite Recievers and a smart offensive head coach who operates a similar system.  he developed there and now has the knowledge to go with the physical tools he has to succeed at a high level.

I remember drafting him for my fantasy league when he came out of college and it cost me a Superbowl smh seeing ghosts. When he was traded here, my wife bought me PSL , and I hated on him then. After the last two years I will admit he has proven me wrong...and I have accepted that... because I know now Young has the same chance to prove why he went number 1 as well, I just hope it's for us.

Some QBs take several years to become a good starting QB. Sadly this league has no patience, like they did in the past. Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vick never really saw any playing time their rookie years. They sat back and watched a professional QB. Left out Jake Delhomme. Now every once in a while you get a guy in his rookie year that blows poo up like Cam but that is not common.

Did Sam Donald win the lottery or something.

If you mean the Seahawks qb, don't give a crap about him one way or the other.  I just hope the Tarheel loses.  

It is amusing how so many on this board hated Darnold, and he left and got more success.  And now a seemingly similar percentage (if not the same posters) hates Young.  Which is why I largely ignore the rants about Young here.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      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.

      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.
