You're comparing Bryce Young to 2x Super Bowl Champion Eli Manning?

Darnold put it together here when Wilks took over. The Saints game was awful but somehow it was awful for both teams. Neither wanted to win. Had Ickey not completely forgot how to play football in the 4th quarter against the Bucs, Darnold takes the Panthers to the playoffs. I would trade Bryce for Darnold right now. Darnold with Canales and a heavy play action, ground and pound style offense would be good.

Bryce threw some bad balls that would make that appear to be the case. He was often late on throws and Chark bailed him out several times.

Bryce takes a full 1.5 seconds to get set after taking a snap. I don't know who was coaching him on that but man, talk about wasted motions.

The UGA game from Stroud is all anyone should've needed to see. Bryce had big moments but the biggest thing I noticed, and pointed out, was that he was always scrambling around despite having good protection. This was seen as a positive from evaluators but I saw it as a negative. He couldn't make plays, or throws, on time and from the pocket. People saw the scrambling and compared him to a mini-Patrick Mahomes because that works in college. It does not work in the NFL. I ended up being right.

That's also how Sean Payton described Bo Nix during their Rookie Camp. He said he looked like a golfer in that he just makes everything look effortless and that he's essentially perfected his fundamentals to the point that they are the exact same every time. Bo Nix, in my opinion, will end up being the "steal" of the draft and everyone will wonder how he dropped to 12. Watching him this past year, it was like watching a coach out on the field just picking defenses apart. He may not have the physical characteristics of a Williams or Daniels but I believe his experience and mental accuity gives him a shot to be better. I still think that Drake Maye has the highest ceiling of them all though. I said this after Week 2 of 2022 when they played in Boone and he didn't have a single off target throw despite being under duress much of the game. Dude was throwing darts.

Bro, Put that on a T-Shirt, I will buy it. I've been asking myself this for four years now.

Or that one play is all that Bryce was capable of? Bryce is an issue. To say that Frank fuging Reich, a longtime NFL back-up and coach, would not see a need to “develop” a Rookie QB is hilarious and wrong. now I wanted Steve Wilks to be retained, but this comment is pure garbage.

Jack Plummer was surprisingly underrated in this draft. He didn’t exactly have the best team before he got to Louisville and given one more year at Louisville I feel he would’ve been drafted.

How would Brooks be 100% after a November ACL tear? I’d be fine if he didn’t play until November.

I really hope Bryce is there. He needs all of the physical and mental reps he can get considering he can’t see the field.

He deserves more respect than he gets here. He didn’t have the longevity we wanted but he was a huge part of getting to Super Bowl 50.

I mean, the commentary surrounding Purdy is very similar to the commentary surrounding Brady his first few years. All the guy has done is win and he’s only going to get better as time goes on. He may not fit your idea of “Game Breaker” but the results speak for themselves. You’re going to counter with “but Kyle Shanahan” and that plays a role, as does any coach-QB combo. Where would Mahomes be without Andy Reid? Certainly not three super bowls deep.

Better than Bryce...

Marvin Harrison Jr. may be the best wide receiver in the NFL in 2024. Legette is not going to be better in 2024, or ever. You can't coach what Harrison does and what Harrison has.

I don't care what "draft grades" are from the media. Just like I don't care about recruiting rankings when looking at college football.

It felt different because Tepper wasn’t involved and our head coach isn’t an egomaniac. The positions may have been the same but the grades of each player at the positions were not.

Imagine if the Packers someone who could help them win, with Aaron, instead of after. They were always drafting with the idea of life after Aaron. His individual talent showed through in MVP seasons but the Packers lack of foresight in how to win now kept them from going to Super Bowls. they fuged Aaron several times rather than helped him.

I would go back in time, not trade for Young. I would’ve grabbed O’Torrance, Kincaid, Charbonnet, resigned Darnold and rolled with him. Would’ve drafted Marvin Mims as well. Then, assuming we sucked, I would’ve taken Drake Maye. I’m an anything but Carolina fan, and I think Maye has Hall of Fame potential. Give me Maye, Mims, Charbonnet, Diontae Washington, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, Adam Theilen, and a power run scheme with heavy play action. that’s just my fantasy though. Tepper fuged it up man.

This is why I say that Dan Morgan did his job. People are saying this draft was the same ol’ Panthers under Tepper but it really felt different taking it in, including the process. To me, it seems like Tepper let go of the reigns and let the football people he pays millions for do their job. I don’t mind Tepper having input, but he’s a fan, like the rest of us. He may have some preferences and may even get some poo right, but let the people who have been doing this their entire professional lives handle evaluations, contracts, and the like.

Well, like college recruiting when you get outside the Top 10, it’s a crapshoot until you get to three years down the road. College recruiting rankings are a farce when you get about 1/4 of the way through the four stars. the same can be said for the NFL draft. Outside of the top 10 picks, no one really knows what a player will become. I put less stock in media grades than I do in the current administration bringing energy prices down to an affordable level, and that’s already at zero.

We got guys at the top of our board. We got the 2nd best running back, the fourth or fifth best receiver, and the 2nd best tight end. dan Morgan went BPA which is what you need to do when you’re working with what Morgan had and where the team is right now.

I don’t think Pinkney has the body type to bulk up to a tight end. I’ve watched him and he is a pure receiver. It’s possible he could get up to 240 and play around an Isaiah Likely mold but I’m not sure. He reminds me a lot of DJ Chark.

I think Pinkney has a shot too. He’s a bigger body guy who does everything you want someone with his size to do.

I’ve watched Sam Pinckney for four years now. Very good chance he makes the practice squad. He isn’t incredibly explosive but man does he have great body control and fluid movement. As a Sun Belt fan, I approve of this pick-up.
