Please understand, I am no advocating here.  And I don't know who we are favoring, although it seems we are somewhat split internally at this time.

Houston may not feel the same.  They may see Young as the clear #1 for their vision and don't want anything to do with Stroud.  If they feel this way - I could see them making an offer in a week or two.  In fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't.  They could try to lowball us with a 3rd or something, who knows.  But if they do not make any offer, then they are either sure we're taking Stroud or don't care either way (or they are incompetent).

But if Houston calls and offers me enough to get me comfortable with either guy, I could see us pulling the trigger and moving back a spot.

And that’s the thing.

Its about as known now that Houston is as interested in Stroud at 2 as we are Levis at 1.  They have their eyes on Bryce if it’s a QB.  If they call and seem willing again.  That means that there’s a strong chance We take Stroud regardless at 1.   Also if we wanted Bryce, it would take a LOT to get us to move off the top QB on our board after what we gave up to get there.  And what they’d have to offer, the reality is, they won’t give that much to move 1 spot to 1.

I apologize for my douchey posts last night in some of these Bryce and CJ threads. Drinking bourbon and watching the hurricanes fumble the metro division away to the Devils doesn’t mix well and that frustration spilled out onto this board. I’ll truly be happy with either but prefer Bryce.

One thing is for sure. The folks who are hella sensitive and pooing posts about the size issue might as well buckle in because it isn't going anywhere and our rivals and opponents will be sure to let us know about it.

I could be wrong but I felt the Panthers earlier plan was to take at # 1  Bryce Young but as the scouting and evaluation process proceeded they began to like C.J. Stroud a little more than Young.

Exactly....and they won't think twice about laying the wood on that kid if they can. There is no honor in this, when you step on the field its war. Rattling him will be at the top of every scouting report.

If I was an opposing Defense I'd love to play a team that can only operate out of shotgun and can't launch the ball more than 50 yards

I was originally a Stroud guy.  But recently I have been watching a bunch of BY tape.  I will says this.  He will be exciting as poo to watch and have some unbelievable plays.  But I will cringe every time he gets sacked.  

If he can stay healthy he will be great.  

I also think then Panthers know who they are taking. With the OC Brown building the playbook you would have to know who you are building it around.  Maybe he is just in the beginning stages and just adding the plays that are universal.  But to but it completely the playbook will look different for BY than CJ.

We're going in circles here, so this will be my last.

I do not know what the price will be to move back a spot.  That will depend on how in love the Panthers are in one guy vs. the other and how much Houston wants a particular guy.

Houston may be perfectly fine taking Stroud after seeing us take Young.

But if Houston feels strongly about one or the other, then they will call us to see what the price is.  If we are willing to move back, it does not mean we are settling for the second best guy, or that we will not get our first choice, whoever that is.  It simply means we are ok with either guy plus the compensation we get from Houston.  Its not emotional.  Its just a transaction. And who knows, we may still end up with our favorite guy plus some extra compensation.

And the fact we traded so much to get to 1 is irrelevant here.  That was simply the price to get one of the top two guys.  Trading to 2 was out of the question.  We knew we wanted one of Young or Stroud so trading to 1 was the only option we had.  Doesn't mean we liked one more than other, it was simply our only option to enter the game.  

You are one of my favorite posters on this site, but I can't keep posting the same poo over and over.  If we end up moving back, maybe we can continue this conversation.  

Cheers.

We had to deal with the same 10 posters or so popping in every time Cam threw an incomplete pass for way longer than you’d probably believe

Remember when.... Matt Moore was better than Cam?
