Under 25 yrs old team

Who else would they pick based on his criteria?

 

Now, "under 25" translates this way: Any player who'll still meet the requirement in Week 1 of the 2014 campaign is eligible (i.e., if a current 24-year-old has a birthday coming this offseason, he's out of luck.)

The Luck obsession is getting played out.

 

 

By the media or this board? 

 

I really don't get the hatred for him here.  If you truly think Cam is the better QB then you should love the guy for staying in college another year and ending up elsewhere.

I don't have any problem with Luck, it's just that the general football fans and media criticize Cam to a ridiculous extent, all the while saying Luck will be the next Manning or Brady. I don't really care who's 'better' to be honest, as I am perfectly happy with Cam as our QB, and I wouldn't trade him for any other QB in the league, but it does piss me off that everyone thinks Luck is so much better than Cam. In reality, Cam's played better in his short career than Luck has in his, even with Luck having better weapons. Now after this season everyone is writing off Cam's very good play, because we have a top defense. Ridiculous.

They create any freaking list just to put Luck at the top. What a desperate joke. When Luck is 30 and still a bum they'll create another list call 'the best 30 y old bum' and put him at the top.

 

By the way, it would be nice to find us a young elite LT like Tyron Smith in the near future. Seems like he was drafted at 20 and is entering his 4th year already. Incredible.

Cam did get alot of love for his play too in his first season which was a surprised because before Cam no one talked about the panthers. 

 

Luck has done alot with a little. He had Wayne in his first year much like Cam had Smith. Both of them were still pro bowl players. 

Luck mainly played without Wayne in his second season and still did an amazing job with the emergence of Hilton. 

He has zero run game support and poor tight end support. The defense is terrible as well so he has to put up alot of points. 

Luck was my fantasy QB this year so I watched a ton of colts games. Cam's supporting cast is much better than Lucks.

Can with a legitimate line is scary. He has done so much with a less than steller one.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
