People have to chill with shitting on Mingo so much you'd think he's the worst pick we've made in the last several years. It's just becoming a robotic take at this point. If you're giving Bryce Young a mulligan because of the coaching and situation overall last year then Mingo deserves the same courtesy.

My only thing is. If this pick does not work out. For the love of everything please stop drafting players because they have local ties.

I like him overall. No reason not to support the kid. One big plus? We didn't draft him in the second round so hopefully he's a baller!

They're local fuging heros.

That was a pipe dream. Just stay put and draft BPA

I feel you but ultimately it was David Tepper who pushed for it.

Better hope the Falcons and Saints don't get their act together before us. They aren’t ran very well but they are still a far sight better than the Panthers.

Twitter is 100× worse than the huddle and most sports media folks with sources seem to navigate that just fine.

Lmfao and the Panthers traded a young playmaking WR on a contract that dwarfs Brown's for the smallest QB in the league. Ladies and gentlemen. David Tepper.

Sports media does this every year they play favorites no different than fans. Most of it is just outside noise that will go away as long as he shows he is committed to football. As for the difference to Bryce Young honestly you can chalk up most if not all of that to Alabama and Saban. Make no mistake though teams are keeping tabs on Bryce Young's progress and that will have an effect on the likelihood of any QB's lacking basic physical traits going anywhere near the top 10 again. BTW has anyone heard or read anything whatsoever about the S2? *crickets*

I hate to hear that for anyone. As flawed humans it's easy to get stuck in the rat race of adulthood and everyday life and ultimately trivial things we concern ourselves with and forget we're all navigating our own individual circumstances with health issues stress financial burdens etc. I sincerely hope things get better for you and your family and you can get back to doing what you enjoy most.

C WR TE but we don't need anymore reaching so BPA is fine. I really hope Morgan has learned a lot from watching Fitterer think he's the smartest guy in the room on draft night.

In all seriousness. Anything is better than admitting your first order of business after one of the worst rookie QB seasons of all time is...doing nothing. I cannot say enough that it gives Sam Darnold vibes.

Playmakers like the one we traded for him right? For some reason I can hear "Hello Darkness My Old Friend" in the background.. So what you're really saying is: QB first round next year.

Absolutely. No matter how any of us may feel about Bryce Young's viability or if we believe he will turn things around. As Panthers fans who have seen only 2 long term QB's out of several dozen total in the span of nearly 3 decades history unequivocally tells us one thing for certain. Competition is a good thing.

The issue is there's 16 games worth of tape on Bryce Young. His bad habits are going to be immediately amplified if he reverts to them. Defenses are waiting for it. Also as another poster above rightly pointed out. He's got to start putting some oomph on these passes. That's also on tape. That's why us fans and his first GM who was fired wanted him to get into the weight room at any capacity but he took time off to do nothing. Whatever happens it won't be for a lack of trying. I think Dave Canales is the right hire to work with a QB like Bryce. The issue is we have no idea if he is the right hire to fix the overall offense and team or how he will handle that level of responsibility on gamedays with only one year of coordinating. I think this is either going to go really well or it's going to spiral. For all the talk of how bad Reich was and yes he was we really got much worse after he was fired and that's what Canales is inheriting. All of this is why I say it is important we have another young QB around just in case. Even a UFA. Also drafting a center for Bryce or whomever. We just need something anything to build on. Sustaining drives and getting into the end zone more often should be goals 1-3. We were h-o-r-r-e-n-d-o-u-s.

Oh I agree. Now is the time to address the footwork so we can see some progress in time for training camp. It's almost May time is of the essence. Hopefully Bryce can work whatever that bunny hop thing is out of his habits too. If we see that in the regular season Dave Canales is in trouble.

Throwing in shorts with no linemen. Seen enough of that at his proday. I'm ready for training camp with pads on. Let's get this draft going.

Now that is a grown man answer! Would love to hear that from the face of our franchise.

Bradley Bozeman was one of the beloved members of this team last year. Paradis was also talked up a good bit at one point. Life comes at you fast. These people better learn and have a legitimate backup plan in place.

Only a year ago Tepper told us he doesn't need elite WR's because he's so good.

That's leadership. Any jabroni can hold it together making millions while losing. The elite QB's want to win and will do whatever it takes and sacrifice their own time to do so. That is what made Stroud an MVP candidate at one point last year as a rookie despite all the naysayers portraying him as lacking IQ and ironically leadership ability.

Williams seems to have high bust probability but some of the rhetoric around him reminds me of Levis. Most of it will blow over. All that will matter is commitment to football. But for me nothing against him personally I hope he is a bust because fug the Bears and we have lost enough on that trade we don't need him becoming a franchise QB too. All this being said. Holy moley there is some lip service being given in here about the leadership of our own QB. Yeah man he sure looked composed out there while we were getting our poo pushed in by the Jaguars missing their starting QB. Some of you are truly professional shoe shiners.
