Do you watch CJ Stroud and wonder ‘what if’?

I'm no pro (or even a rookie) at checking odds, but curious what Vegas had as the favorite for OROY between Young and Stroud. Also curious what the odds were that Stroud would be MVP. That info would tell us how big the island was that we seem to think the Panthers were on when they picked the Bama kid over the Buckeye kid. The irony is that Young is playing the way people feared Stroud would play.

For that matter, what was the Huddle poll that was posted at that time? We have a lot of "I wanted Stroud" people now, but I thought the Huddle poll favored Young? Maybe I'm misremembering.

My fantasy name last season was Suck Proud for Stroud and I was all aboard up until the last month where Watching too many youtube breakdown videos with amateur scouts changed my mind and I thought if Young could overcome his size he would be great. I fully admit I got led down the wrong path. I am patient enough to give Young more time considering surroundings, but I also am not naive enough to think he will make some drastic turn around. We clearly missed here and Stroud looks like what everyone thought Andrew Luck was going to be.

Bro, the second worst team in the league drafted a QB who has elevated them to almost a playoff team and has answered the question of can they get a franchise QB after Watson. I mean you could easily argue that Stroud has been better than Watson...they did what we wanted because we forced them to by taking Bryce.

 

Just accept it. It's okay. We're all here with yiu.

I think they wanted CJ the whole time and tried to trick others into getting Bryce ahead of them.

Most wanted Stroud after the combine, but by time the pro day came around the Bryce wave had taken over.  I never understood what people saw in Bryce

Dude. You were preaching Stroud then said you went and watched the tape and it wasn’t even close how much better Young was. You also didn’t know BY didn’t throw at the combine until several of us told you. You’ve got some revisionist history of your QB take going on. 

Place is full of it. Ditto with the hirings, it was All Star Staff. Yay. 

 

There were so many people cheering this don’t act like you were not. Hell  I accepted Reich and will go my grave thinking that if had his choice he would have accounted for physical skills in the draft. Young looks far worse than that kid playingfor Minnesota with a wristband. Been there a week and a half. 

Every other team’s game you watch you WILL see better quarterback play, with possibly one or two exceptions. Try it.

At this point I honestly would fire or demote a person who was telling me that processor is all you need screw size screw arm strength. 

You can’t can’t give away both!

It is freaking crazy that this happened, but look at the times we are in. Crazy is standard.

Well, you have poo worthy opinions and temp-ban people based off of emotions. This will be the last time I respond to you. So either temp-ban me for the 9th time or keep it moving. 

Yeah, we tend to do that to posters who do nothing but troll and fling poo.

I thought you were leaving this hell hole and going back to reddit where the discourse was higher browed? 😂

You've only threatened to do that about a dozen times as if anyone actually cares.

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By rayzor · Posted

      Would it be possible to do that trade without us getting Watson?

      I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

      Stop the obsession with the QB position

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      A look at all the QBs making championships over the past 35 years says it's not 1st round QB driven. There are only 64 championship QBs, and this includes Jake Delhomme, Kurt Warner, Case Keenum, Tom Brady, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, Eric Kramer, Brock Purdy, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson and more non 1st round QBs. 5 of these QBs went to a championship in the past 10 seasons. 3 of the 5 won how many of the past 10 SBs? Foles beat Brady. Mahomes and Brady have won 7 of the past 10 SBs. Mahomes walked into a ready made contender. The other 3 are Foles, Manning and Stafford. We know Manning did nothing. It was defense. Stafford managed a defensive game. Foles beat Manning in an offensive shootout. Keep in mind Manning and Stafford were not drafted in the 1st round for the team that won the SB. The Rams have drafted how many 1st round picks in the past 8 years? The Broncos only drafted defense in the 1st round for 5 straight years leading up to their SB, and that's what stopped Cam. Any QB game manager can get you to the playoffs. OL, running game, defense and coaching carry the load during the season. Clutch QBs are needed in the playoffs to get to the championship games, and there is nothing favoring a 1st round QB being clutch over all other QBs. Never draft a QB in the top 20 picks unless they have a professional sports pedigree! If you need a QB it's simple competition and steady flow of a QB type (physicality/talent is not a deciding factor for champions). Sticking to a competitive strategy that filters out QBs who are high TO% and low clutch performance will always work. You're always looking for the one who refuses to give up the starting spot by feeling momentum, showing high situational preparedness, and knowing when to take risks. Top 20 picks should be defense with few exceptions. If you want offense, trade down to get more picks for defense and OL. There should always be a 4 QB rotation (3 roster and 1 practice squad) on the depth chart until 1 has held onto the starting spot for 34 games. Then go to 2 QBs on the roster. Patience in this process is key. There will never be a QB allowed to fail for more than 5 straight games for the myth of long term development. This QB strategy results in hitting on a franchise QB within 3 seasons while building a strong defense and deep OL. The defining factor of success for an NFL Franchise has been the HC/GM combos who have studied, mastered and implemented Bill Walsh's book together. The Panthers franchise appears to be no where near this championship strategy or philosophy. Butting heads over philosophy and mixed/inconsistent strategies have been the constant since Tepper took over.
