I think the feeling is that there would be better players at 14 but people would like him at 24 because those better players would be gone already.

According to whom is the question tho. The bucs might rank a player higher or lower than what we rank the same player. My point is if he's the guy that you want on your team you take him. You don't trade down hoping he will still be there because he may not be. The point about other players being better still on the board is strictly opinionated. You get the guy you want.

Austin can do more.....Nuk is the better pure WR IMO.

Given the type offense we have with Cam....I'd prefer Nuk. Austin seems to be fit for a QB that likes to throw the short quick hitters, screens, etc....and those are some of Cams's WORST throws. Nuk running downfield with his strong routes and hands seems like a better fit

Right. I don't see how you can watch him go up and make the high grabs and not think he would be a great fit with Cam. We would have won a few more games last year with some clutch 3rd down and scoring catches i.e. Dallas, KC, and I'm sure more if I went back to look.

And to disagree with the other poster: Having great hands, catch radius, and route running ARE instantaneous. To me a fast guy that still has to learn the route tree(Patterson) will take waaay longer to get anything out of. With Steve's age I want a guy that can play Day 1. Also Austin looks great but like you said he is going to live off of short screens and slants,not Cam's strong point right now. Cam is a downfield "Big Ben, Favre" type of QB he needs a guy that can go up and make the big 15,20, 30 yd catches. I do like Hunter too but who knows which will be better. I'm ready to see Allen's proday numbers.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
