Ladies and Gentleman it's time we embrace our future QB...

 

He does look good in that Carolina uniform!

And that's the thing.

We keep getting reporters saying it's this guy or it's that guy when the reality Is that decision just has not been made yet.

They're ultimately just making educated guesses.

(some more educated than others)

Sure but the longer this goes on where we are getting similar comments that basically say it’s Bryce and it’s up to others to change their mind, the others have less and less chances to actually change their mind.

Does anyone know when the individual visits for the QBs are here? Once we get through them I imagine we’ll start hearing one name a lot more than the others.

Offers for #1 kicked into overdrive after the combine, you also had Derek Carr being considered at that time. Panthers said the trade was about controlling their destiny. They couldn't afford to wait.

I think it's more likely that they went into it liking Young and the combine added others to the conversation.

 

 

 

Possible, sure.  I don't think we were ever considering Carr at his market value though--Fitterer's stance about not going for LJ because QBs on market are expensive translates to pretty much any free agent

They're all upcoming. We likely won't get a date until closer to the actual day of the visits.

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 

 

it is rough to watch him. i feel really bad for him but i'm glad he's still pushing and doing his thing.

this too

He is my number 1, so color me excited. At the same time I won't be mad if the pivot to stroud. To me it's a win, win. I think as we have gotten closer to the draft the narrative has slowly switched to Bryce. Where ther is smoke there fire. 

 

Again it's a win/win, I'll be ordering the jersey no matter who it is.

Creation of the NFL Network definitely hurt the ESPN Insiders.

These days, the league is always going to give the best info to their in-house guys.

whoever it is, they will be ROTY.

Same. Hate to see it.

He and John Clayton used to be the kings of insider info.

I know im not as old as you but man those two were pretty much staples of my Middle and High School years where I would turn it on and watch while doing my homework after football practice. 

Still a bit surreal.

I remember. Back then Sportscenter was a can't miss thing.

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

You can when he's the best.

He single handily lost the bull series with the best hornet team ever.  

Losing in the playoffs sucks.  But, like football, basketball is team sport. 

Hawkins missed the winning shot.  Jordan fouled him, no call.  Now with the scandal and investigations of what has happened in the NBA, its no surprise.

Yep, this happens every draft without a clear number 1. Once April rolls around it becomes obvious who the pick is. Congrats to the Bryce guys

Didn't happen last year until very late. Everyone thought Hutchinson would be the pick right up until the draft.
