Former Panthers QB: “No doubt in my mind” they pick Bryce Young

Here's how I see it.  There is really no down side to Stroud.  The biggest knock on him is that he was throwing to hall of fame wide receivers.  The worst I see for him down the road is being a decent to good quarterback.  Bryce Young on the other hand is more of a gamble.  Not that he doesn't have the talent, but can he last long enough in this league to have good success?

So can you imagine we draft Young and he struggles or get hurt, while Stroud goes on to be a prolific QB?  Personally, I can live with us picking Stroud and Young goes on to have the better career.  Yet I would be devastated if we take Young and he flames out.

I really think Young is a the highest value risk reward swing. Sure he is small and can get hurt, but If he hits, he is a superbowl QB.

name one good 169 lbs quarterback

The "Little General" Eddie LeBaron was 5'7" 168lbs when he played.

And to do you one better,

Davey O-Brien was 5'7" and weighed 151lbs. He only played briefly in the NFL and gave up football to be an FBI agent.

They're the two smallest guys to ever play QB in the NFL.

I'm not a Young fanboy, and being injury prone isn't predicated on size...Matt Corral is just an injury prone player

So one player you aren't in favor of is deemed injury prone after a single game but a guy who is even smaller will never face that problem? You guys can't even be consistent within one thread.

I like you but you are letting your fandom get the best of you with this Bryce Young infatuation. Now I know why you are so mad about the pro Stroud threads and wanting us to draft Levis for the laughs. Damn ya'll are taking dickriding to an extreme.

one big hit away from injury

That's every player ever. One bad angle is all it takes no matter how large someone is. It was just a few weeks ago that a guy bigger than Young took a helmet to the chest and nearly died on the field.

or getting rattled

Young took big hits in college and didn't get rattled. Stroud on the other hand got rattled quite a lot when pressured and hit.

The post was in reply to Razor's request to name a good QB that was small and had nothing to do with Young. Razor didn't say the QB had to be in the modern era either and had just said name one like it hadn't ever happened before. He would have had a point if there never had been small players at QB before, but history shows there has been though it has been rare. And yeah, players have gotten bigger over the years, but that's true for people in general.

And I want Ahlers at 1 for the laughs but will settle for Richardson, Hooker, or Levis. Come to think about it, Bennett who is another smaller guy at 1 would work too.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
