That said I'd trade Reich for Ron straight-up bc he'd let Brown call plays

Yup, the League is getting film on him.  Expect his numbers be more pedestrian fro here on out.  LOl at the gaslighting that we missed out on Sam Howell--the next Patrick Mahommes!

To be fair, Howell was a better pick than Matt C

Getting film on what? Blitz the Commanders and they can't protect? Yep. Howell got pressured on over 80% of his drop backs today. You can't win like that. Yeah, he needs to just eat some more sacks instead of forcing balls but the end result is they still get blown out.

All 3 of those receivers would start for the Panthers - if Mingo wasn't drafted in the 2nd. He'd play because he's a 2nd rounder. 

2022:

Adam Theilen: 712 yards

Robert Woods: 527 yards

DJ Chark: 502 yards

Nico Collins: 487 yards

Tank Dell: 3rd Rd draft pick

Jonathan Mingo: 2nd Rd draft pick

CJ is blessed to have such weapons

If you think Stroud would be doing better here with our receivers and playcalling, you people are delusional. Now if we still could have kept Moore with Stroud, it might be a different story. Just watching the QB School vids on Bryce, it shows you there is no one even remotely close to being open.  Swapping Bryce with Stroud would just be the same. The playcalling needs to change.

No argument there, Corral was bad...I hated the pick.  That QB class was trash and why I wanted us to wait.  The UNC bros were making it sound like Howell was going to be another one the entire League whiffed on like Tom Brady.

Looking back that Tyreke Hill trade was cheap for the Dolphins.  He is amazing

The playcalling might be different if we had Stroud.

It's not just the players, it's the playcalling with these players. Houston's guys seem better at beating cover 0 than the Panthers receivers.

Jags scored awfully quick!

Yeah, I don't think anyone argued that Sam Howell was going to be Tom Brady.

Did the entire league whiff on allowing him to fall to the 5th? Yep.

What a play by Matheiu.

CJ Stroud is legit folks!

 

Frank and Tepper better pray Bryce Young lives up to the hype. If not we will be hearing about this mistake for the next few years.

It actually doesn’t matter at all.  He plays for the Texans and we picked Bryce.  Irrelevant to the Panthers if he does well
