He is very impressive.Can we get in his hands enough to rate a 14th pick I don't know.Reminds me of randall cobb and smitty .I think if we could use him as a scat back,slot receiver and in returns he may warrant the 14th pick.The guy can flat fly and can make things happen in space. Is a Percy harvin type talent worth a 14th pick I think so

Damn he is impressive on tape. He could be about as good as Steve Smith. If the Panthers believe in him enough to select him at 14, I will be very excited to have him.

His vertical is terrible in comparison to Smith's. Also while rarely mentioned Smith is one of the strongest receivers in the game and its makes a difference. Smith put up 22 reps at the combine and Austin had 14 for comparison.

Have to agree with this Smitty was alot stronger and better leaping abililty. Austin can go up for the catches and in traffic. But to fight off 2 tacklers at the same time like Smitty he cant do it.

Also one play that stands out is against Texas. Austin leaped up and caught the ball for a first down was impressive as the defender was right there. At the 5:33 mark good leaping ability there. but he tackler was a little nice to him.

He's fast and can make guys miss. However his size shows and can be kind of easy to bring down at times. Kind of like DeSean Jackson. Teams will probably just try to throw him around and get him frustrated. What makes Smitty so unique is the fact that it's really hard to throw him around.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
