Sure, he was at Bama so they weren't dog crap, but let's not kid ourselves that Stroud didn't have the better supporting cast this past year, both at receiver and on the line. Recruiting rankings don't mean much if they aren't playing up to potential on the field. 

And Young's stats dropped off considerably when his WRs left - if we're playing that game (Stroud's didn't).

Aren't your whole shtick, trust the professionals (Panthers scouts, front office and the coaches). Don't need any tape for that 🤣😂

Still need it to form my own opinion 😄

My thing with the pros is that they're always going to be smarter than us. That's not their job though. Their job is to be smarter than their competitors.

Hell, Marty Hurney was a professional. He just wasn't very good compared to other professionals.

I'm just messing with you. 🤭

... Because Stroud was still throwing to better receivers? This past season he was throwing to Marvin Harrison Jr, the guy who would be the consensus #1 receiver if he were eligible this year and JSN, a first round player coming out this season. Last year he had Olave and Wilson, both first round receivers. Young had Williams last season and not much this year.

Young was carrying his team this year, whereas OSU was just a better all around team. Yes Young's numbers took a hit in terms of volume stats, but his y/a, ay/a, and QB rating are pretty much identical. He was just as efficient with a worse team surrounding him.

You can be a fan of Stroud over Young, but even the staunchest of Stroud supporters even admit Stroud had a better supporting cast. The argument that Young's receivers made him just seems completely disingenuous based on everything.

JSN was out with a hamstring this year.  He had 5 total catches for the season.

I'm ok with Bryce being his favorite but we need better reasons. Alot of development happened past the Summer of 2022 an will continue to happen. Making that assessment off a glorified summer pro-day is an incomplete assessment. I think that one of the things that people aren't thinking about regarding CJ is that they think he can't get better. As if he has reached his ceiling. 

Coaches believe they can develop Will Levis and Anthony Richardson... but for some reason its like CJ has peaked. None of these guys is a perfect prospect. For the all of the things that Bryce Young does well, there are ill-advised throws and inconsistent arm strength on the deep ball. 

I believe all of these guys can get better. I think Bryce can get heavier on an NFL nutrition plan... but he wont get much taller. That can't be developed. I dont think Bryce's size is going to impact him as much as others may think because he's played in the SEC but its definitely apart of his evaluation.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Here’s another that we fans should keep in mind: Sometimes greatness takes time. Mahomes had the benefit of sitting a season behind Alex Smith after the Chiefs traded up to take him with the 10th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Young, last year’s top pick, started 16 games as a rookie, going 2-14, absorbing 62 sacks and posting the league’s worst passer rating.

      https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5945028/2024/11/24/panthers-loss-bryce-young-chiefs/?source=user_shared_article This quote from the article in The Athletic caught my attention: The quarterback on the other sideline was equally impressed. “I thought he played his tail off, man. He throws a really good ball,” Patrick Mahomes said. “I think Texas Tech was the first one to offer him when he was in eighth grade. I was at Texas Tech, so I remember watching his highlight tapes then and knew he was going to be a great player.”

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
