Ian Rapoport on Bryce: "Everyone had Bryce Young #1"

Quoting Rap:

Quote

"It all revolves around the quarterback. Bryce will get all of the focus, all of the attention, all of the headlines, and all of that. Which is fine, because really what he is is a symbol. If he's ascending, if he looks like the quarterback that the Panthers drafted... and let's be real: this guy was going #1 no matter who was taking the pick so it's not like the Panthers made some decision. Everybody had Bryce Young #1."

Pretty obvious "if the QB is good, the team will have hope" but I thought it was interesting that somebody dialed in as much as Rapoport definitively said that everybody had him at #1 considering how many fans want to believe otherwise.

Well, I definitely didn't have him at 1 because I knew Stroud would be good. Had Stroud way far ahead at 1, followed by Richardson and then Bryce a little below him.

Going to be honest though - I didn't think Bryce would be this awful.

Thats the thing.  If our dumbasses on here could see it you telling me professional scouts and NFL front offices couldnt?  Bullshit.  He is just gassing bryce up for the local/team media.  I mean we had scouts saying some NFL teams had him completely off their board.  So yeah he is just playing to the crowd here.

I guess 2/3 of the huddle as well as myself were the only ones with foresight

he is literally at Panthers camp.  He has been in the game a long time.  

There is no way 32 NFL teams all with different schemes and offensive emphasizes are going to agree on any QB as #1 outside of the most rare drafts.  Which this one wasn't.

Nobody can say what would or would not have happened under different scenarios especially involving other teams. Don't need to go down this rabbit hole anymore to justify the pick.

I can say for myself Stroud's arm talent was vividly evident on his game film. It was not the same for Young. Seeing their respective rookie seasons only confirms the obvious. That's just all there is to it. We made our bed. Time to accept and move forward.

Believing this is like believe the bullshit that everyone in the front office all agreed it was bryce.  I mean thats a blatant lie to try and sell him.   No way in hell Reich wanted him for starters.

People got fooled thinking Bryce is athletic because he could outrun a bunch of nobodies on teams like Ole Miss and Vandy, while everyone thought that CJ would crumble because he couldn't escape the pocket like Bryce.

What these idiots didn't realize is that CJ could make throws from the pocket and fit them into tight windows while Bryce couldn't, which is why he didn't bother trying to run unnecessarily. When he actually needed to run (like the Georgia game), it should have been obvious to everyone that he has enough mobility.

And yeah, Ian Rappaport usually knows nothing and then just reiterates things way later after like 10 reporters have already reported said info... Dude is as accurate as the weather reporter trying to predict the weather a month in the future...

yep, we follow 1 team and it was split in house until the powers that be declared it was Bryce.   Which makes sense that people viewed it different.  There was no player all 32 NFL teams were going to be in agreement on. 

Ian knows his job.  He said what he was supposed to on camera at Panthers camp.

Yep, just unfortunate because you can't miss like that on the #1 pick or you will be awful the next 5+ years

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
