Not a bust but moving up with better available is Panthering.

  Moving up (trading a fifth rounder for a sixth) gave us a fifth year option--well worth it when you see that WRs are making over $30m now.  As for the "better available" comment--not everyone agrees with you.  I saw him mocked in the first round by some.  He had a wide range.  Do you know how or where they plan to use him?  220 lbs, over six feet tall, good hands, and runs a sub 4.4.  I get it that he is a bit unknown, but it sounds like the Panthers did their howework. Sounds like he really wants to be here.  I think you will change your mind soon.

Some of yall b*tch about trading 1 spot up to get XL then think about Atlanta use 8th overall to pick Penix while they signed 4 yrs with Coursins......

Some just want to bitch.  I think this was an incredibly smart move by Morgan--well worth the late round pick swap--and I think XL has a ton of upside and potential--probably more than the others yet to be drafted.

Nobody can really understand this pick until the see the offense and how he will be used.  So bitching is premature.   XL is high risk high reward--and they did their homework.  I am willing to see what he can do

Amazing watching the huddle.go from hating legette as a Mingo clone to praising him because of a potential 5th year option.

 

If he's good the 5th year option won't be of any value.

His real haters are still hating. Don't be fooled!

Don't you mean if he sucks, the 5th year option won't be of any value?

My bad, not being a downer, just seen this to many times. I'm not buying it but I really do hope I'm wrong. Guy is great in coverage, unfortunately he is always in it.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
