I am confused.  I go by one rule, and it requires being honest with myself:  I SUCK at picking QBs transitioning from college to the NFL---I am terrible at it. 

I share your pain but even the so called expects often find it is a hit and miss when they make their bold  predictions.

Don't get to excited because this is just hearsay and no proof Young is the pick.

I started out big time wanting Stroud, but the more I've watched and seen what Bryce is, the more I'm convinced he is the potential HoF of this class. That said I won't be mad with Stroud, but I'm firmly on the Bryce train now.

Nobody will know who we will pick until draft day.

Yep.  Lotta people will get mad because the Panthers did not pick their guy, but I trust this staff and think there are 2 top QBs in this draft.  I will embrace either, even though I have my preference.

He does seem to have that "it" factor, the kind of person who can handle the ups and downs with class.  But every time I give Young a compliment, I turn around and say just about the same thing about Stroud.  I'd like to say that we can't go wrong with either.

DID NFL media get a memo from their bosses to stir up draft drama leading into it??

You fugers cannot fool me, the pick is CJ STROUD!! 

The headline "Young now the favorite" is simply not what Ian said, and it is not factually accurate.

if we take Young, we have to maintain an offensive line like the Eagles this year, the Saints of the Brees years

Going to have to maintain a top tier line for Stroud too. He's used to playing behind an elite line, not a slightly above average line. Heck, same goes for any rookie QB. Doing what the Panthers did to Newton's line should be a firing offense.

That's why moments like these on TV exists... so that Vegas can balance the scales again to get more people to bet the other way for who will be draft 1 overall.

Yeah, the bookmakers want people betting on every potential top pick this far out so they make more money come draft day when people are wrong and lose.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
