Dammit CJ Stroud looks good again so far tonight.......

[Ricky Prickles]

I was hoping he would suck tonight to make me feel better. My kid kept calling for CJ Stroud in the draft and I am supposed to be the football "expert" in his eyes due to my history with the sport but I wanted Levis so his pick blew mine out the water. All I hear now is how he was right and I was wrong. Neither of us picked Bryce for what it's worth but both got behind him in support big time so it's been quite a bummer all the way around the past couple years.

As Panthers fans we're gonna be hearing about this one for years.

I've accepted it. Just have to swallow that lump in your throat and keep moving.

All that being said. This oft used cope by some people that he would have sucked here needs to never be seen again. Talent is talent. He might have had some struggles here but he unequivocally would change this offense with his physical abilities.

I agree with everything you just said. There is no way Stroud would have looked sucked here because he is simply as solid as they get. I can't believe we flubbed that draft so badly and traded so much for that pick. Truly depressing that out of all the QB's drafted early that year we ended up with the only player who is already failing out of the league beyond a shadow of a doubt. The other guys not named Stroud are not guaranteed yet but they still have a shot. Bryce on the other hand now feels as if it is all said and done on Bryce's career already this early into it. I just really cant see a turnaround at all. Never seen anyone look as bad as Bryce let alone completely change their trajectory before. I understand struggling but not looking flat out that scared and terrible. Worst case I have ever personally watched

I'm past this and pull for Stroud cause I like him. I've now set my eyes on 2025. We will have a new chance to get it right. Hopefully we do.

I've adopted Stroud and the Texans as my second team. Since he should have been here but our owner is incompetent, might as well support him

Do you think they will draft QB in 2025 or give Bryce another season? I mean we are the Tepper Panthers so im paranoid of us doing something completely nonsense stupid like give Bryce another season next season.

I think Canales will want his own guy, new regime typically means new QB. So I forsee one if we are anywhere in the top 5.

If Canales lasts this year. Those Tepper Monday meetings will be brutal.

There is absolutely no chance Bryce is on the team next year, much less stopping us from drafting a QB no matter where we end up picking (which will surely be top 3 at worst).

True, but a six year contract, Canales will attest get a year with his own guy. A blind man could see what the real problem holding this team back is.

I hope youre right but im worried somehow Bryce is still with us next season

I am happy for Stroud. He landed in a better organization and is headed for a HoF career

"Good" is an understatement.
