I don't really care who we finally settle on I just hope that it is someone everyone in the building is sold on and excited as hell to work with.

[Jay Roosevelt]

I hope so, but I find it hard to trust any info that comes out right now.

Feel bad for Chris 

He has really been through it the past few years 

That treatment for stage 4 throat cancer in January sure has taken a toll on him

You can't draft the smallest QB with the #1.

I'll be happy with whoever our staff wants, but at this point it's obvious (they even admit it here) that all of the discourse is because no one knows and they have nothing else to talk about for a month.

Agree. It's not a matter of if BY gets hurt, it's a question of when he gets hurt. All guys at that level sustain injuries, but his frame is the issue. I can envision a snowball effect and that would be disaster for this franchise

For real, I haven't watched ESPN for years at this point, and the moment I saw him on screen I was visibly shocked. 

Poor guy is looking rough as hell, didn't realize he has been battling cancer. Hope he pulls through.

Whatever happened to that report (not sure if substantiated) that Fitterer wasn't going to ask Reich who he wants at QB until 1-2 weeks before the draft or w/e.  Either that was BS, or all these "Panthers all love _____ and are definitely taking him" reports are BS.

There is so much media smoke around Bryce that it seems like the Panthers are almost desperately leaking we like him so Houston trades up to 1 and we take Stroud at 2

Or... where there is smoke there is fire, and they really do want Bryce Young. I don't think they want to risk moving down anymore. They want their guy.
