Did the Carolina Panthers draft the wrong QB with Bryce Young, or should they have taken CJ Stroud?

Carolina Panthers rookie QB Bryce Young had one of his worst games in his career, throwing 3 interceptions - including two pick-6's - as the Panthers lose to the Indianapolis Colts, 27-13, at Bank of America Stadium. The question many Panthers fans have right now: Did the Carolina Panthers make the right choice by drafting Bryce Young No. 1 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, or should they have drafted Houston Texans QB CJ Stroud?

[@thechad7803]

Here’s the problem. It’s not the line, receivers, coaching. It’s the fact his skill set is so limited you can’t put together a good game plan like you did with Andy Dalton when he dropped 400 and the offense looked serviceable. Too small to stand in pocket, too slow to run RPO/Scramble, arm too weak to throw deep so no vertical game. His play processing isn’t what it’s supposed to be either. So the only option is short passes and he’s turning it over so that’s also not working. This primarily is on one guy

[@torah6077]

He needs Kyle Murray, speed.

[@jonhosey551]

I feel your pain, but I respectfully disagree. Football is a team sport. To say that bad O-line play has no effect on a rookie QB and then blame everything on the QB seems a little disingenuous and looks like taking the easy way out to me. I can and will just as easily blame the O-line for the majority of this team's woes. Case in point, during his Super Bowl run with the Eagles last season, Miles Sanders averaged 75 ypg and was a 1k+ yard rusher. He was supposed to come to Carolina and restore faith in the running game after we traded away CMC. However, behind our O-line ONE season later, he is currently averaging 28 ypg. 28! Against the Bears, he rushed for a whopping -5 yards! So, this only proves that he isn’t what we thought he was and needs a top-tier O-line to be effective, which was the knock on him before and during the trade. Meanwhile, D'Andre Swift for the Eagles, who is virtually the same height, build, and speed as Sanders, is averaging 68 ypg! Before Swift got to Philly, he was NOT this good. So, you can blame Bryce all day long, but until we get some better protection and some more weapons (Theilen has 42% of the teams receiving yards, so defenses don’t have to guess where he’s going to throw the ball), I don’t care if you find Cam Newton and run RPO’s all day, behind this O-line will continue to suck and lose games.

[@traydevon]

Bryce Young will never be THAT. He doesn't have the physical tools to be THAT.

[@jeremylmckinney3364]

Hell yes tepper messed this one up Stroud was the pick

[@calebhoffman6368]

I think part of the problem with Bryce is how specialized the team has to be around him. He was playing with the best recruits/team built for his style of play. He is not gifted athleticall(compared to other QBs) and doesn’t have the height. Until panthers can cater towards that I think he will stay bad. And basically that means they have to completely change their offensive personal. Which I don’t think is possible. There is no reason young should have been the first pick let alone give up what they did to get him.

[@michaeljohnson7945]

For a six-foot and-under quarterback to succeed in the NFL, he typically needs to have some uncommon ability to overcome the height/size issue. I never saw what Bryce Young did at an uncommon level that overcame his shortcomings.

Big difference in the players that the Panthers have vs the Texans. We had a legit #1 and traded him away. We replaced him with an end of career slot receiver that fell into #1 (not necessarily an X, just the highest target share). DJ Chark has never been THE guy, just a gadget. Miles Sanders got traded because he wasn't needed to win (we have Hubbard who was playing well BEFORE we got AND released D'Onta Foreman - another mistake). Spend the 2nd on Mingo and do idk what after we spent another pick on Marshall previously to do ? We got a new coach who was a complete bust with his last coaching opportunity. The Texans at least looked capable in small chunks last year with their young RB and the returning WR. They added so many pieces to support through the draft, we didn't do that because we sold the farm. We're gonna be bad this year, I didn't expect that much else given how trash the line is to compile on the lack of weapons, small QB and bad play calling with no identity at the run game. I wanted CJ but think these are 2 elite options, one just has a higher floor. CJ was more NFL ready and joined a team that was closer to competing. Not like it makes a huge difference but Bryce DID win their first head to head in the NFL, even if it was 13-15 lol I'm not panicking. 1 season doesn't show your future, less yet half of one.

For once, probably ever, the Texans owner, McNair stepped in and forced the Texans to go after a qb this year instead of only drafting Will Anderson jr. at 2. If not for this the Texans probably would have tried to grab a qb in free agency and/or the 2024 draft. So without McNair sticking his nose in to force a move the coaches weren't 100% down with, the Texans could have missed one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. (this is assuming of course he continues to either play at his current level or, god forbid, gets even better as he gains more experience. Something to consider though is how many times ownership has done this in the past with Houston football teams and it has worked out positively almost never.

I honestly believe if Young was there at #4 the Colts still would of taken Richardson.

[@StylezofGaming]

Proably but where Richardson at now home injured as predicted

[@lin-joglobal769]

Also Bennett outplayed Young in the Natty!

[@MrMatthembree]

perfect Entourage comparison. Not sure the pizza boys knew what they were doing, but i sure hope so.

[@Trumanandfriends]

Quick answer no we didn't. We hired FR and that was the mistake

[@anthonyjones4846]

Bryce is better than what has shown, look Steve Smith said best when you compare both rosters, the Texans have a much better defense, offensively Stroud have better weapons, and a much better o-line, Carolina has a ways to go and has to start in the off-season, so panther fans temper those expectations

[@thrdworld5596]

Look at the tape then tell me he can do much better than what he’s already doing with what he has for protection and a receiving core.

[@toast803]

Yes!

[@unc54]

This fanbase is a joke. I hope y'all keep the same energy if Bryce turns it around. Sickening how fast y'all turned on a rookie QB.

[@tyjackson7696]

I have to disagree. Our front office took the QB that walked around the combine with his book bag instead of competing. We passed on a QB that put on a show in the GA game and the combine by showing he can make passes all over the field. I like Bryce but how many years is it going to take him to reach the level CJ is playing now? Don’t be mad at the fanbase or Bryce, be mad at the management.

[@unc54]

@@tyjackson7696 Oh don't get me wrong I'm furious at management for not giving Bryce any help but I'm tired of fans acting like we wouldn't be in a similar situation with Stroud.

[@trentreece639]

​@unc54 bro you hit the nail on the head I read these comments and it's just a bunch of insufferable people who want to bitch about everything. They want to throw it all on bryce I've never had confidence in our coaching staff and tepper. Like how do you turn around and hire a coach that got fired from his last job for losing. It's also like we got the worst because there was nothing better out there we literally hired Reich first. Then no moves for o line in the off season or a real WR1 but because we are losing everything has to be bryces fault. Stroud is better because he is in a situation where people have a plan and believe in it. I honestly don't think he'd shine for us either Reich doesn't seem to fire anyone up.

Andy Dalton 360 yards passing against Seattle says 👋

[@Cb-cu3wg]

Think that Entourage reference was off 😅 E wanted Vince to be professional during the A2 meetings. Vince was the moron.

[@its570Key]

Bryce didn’t play good at all I get that but we have to realize the moves our owner, GM, and coaches made this year during the offseason were terrible. No o line help to protect Bryce when we knew Corbett would be out some games and you sign a 33 year old receiver who is slow as molasses being the #1 in this offense. There’s no excuses made for Bryce he has to be better but no quarterback can be good in the offense if you ask me with the amount of pressure Bryce is enduring. Stroud is gonna be good in this league but let’s stop writing off Bryce and put together a competent front office and better players then say he’s a bust if that don’t work out

[@robertpatterson3106]

But this wasn’t what we was sold on draft night. Watch all the draft coverage before draft too. Bryce was hyped as a player that could come in and make the team better. This he has not done.

[@its570Key]

@@robertpatterson3106 yea I’m not denying that either. You’re 100% right. Tepper emphasized “point guard”
