If he's on the board, probably.

If St. Louis takes Blackmon at 6, Coples probably goes at 7 to Jax.

If that happens, I bet you take Ingram.

Yeap, Ingram can play DE, DT, and LB. Thats amazing.

Consider that we implement hybrid 4-3 3-4 defense. He'd make a lot of sense.

It bothers me that people keep saying Cam and Smitty need help now. Yes, we will need to find Smith's replacement soon, but good lord we have Cam, DWill, JStew, Tolbert, Smitty, Olsen, LaFell, and Gettis on offense. How many teams have that many solid options on offense? We need defense, defense, and more defense.

I have been saying all along Coples would be the best pick at that spot if blackmon, claiborne, kalil are gone. If he is gone too, then you start thinking about Kuechly, Poe, Ingram. Thats why im hoping he will still be there by the time we pick because if we have to decide between those last three it will make the decision that much more difficult.

Yeah, offense wasn't exactly the problem last year.

Obviously everyone would like to have Morris Claiborne or Justin Blackmon but if those two aren't there than it will be Quentin Coples. If somehow Coples isn't there it's down to Dontari Poe or trading back.

I also like what they said about Coby Fleener out of Stanford. He has great size, speed, athleticism and would also give the Panthers their depth back at the tight end spot with Greg Olsen, Gary Barnidge, and Coby Fleener. I also like the fact that Fleener was a big contributor on Stanford's special teams which could entice the Panthers to take him. However, unless the Panthers take Poe, I don't see Fleener being a true option. If we pick Coples it's simply because he is the best player on the board and we would still need to address the interior of the defense which leads me to believe that the Panthers may take defensive tackle, Jerel Worthy out of Michigan State if we take Coples with our first pick.

Just my two cents.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.

      Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
