@rollandmorrow1311 it a team sport. Houston has been building their team through the watson trade. Cj was there at the right time. Carolina needs to build their roster and not draft a qb unless they have a roster

[@2023snow]

My immediate question when I heard they were drafting a 5'10" 175lb QB at #1 overall was "are they even trying to win?". Only an idiot would consider making a move like that. I think Rick Spielman should find a new job

[@RobbieStacks90]

Kyler Murray is nearly identical in size to Young, but he's also a word class athlete with a cannon of an arm for his size. Knowing that Bryce Young does not possess those athletic gifts, the Panthers should have passed on him.

[@CoopMauKona]

The trade would have been amazing had they drafted CJ Stroud, a franchise QB for 10+ years. So the problem was listening to the media instead of picking the right guy. We might see this again from this draft, Daniels over Caleb?

[@vitigaymer1053]

Daniels, Bo and Caleb look MID AF!! Maybe JJ, Penix or Drake will be the true QB1 of 2024 Draft.

[@chucknorris2353]

I know the network won't call out an owner for how they run their team, but there were reports that Tepper made an executive decision to trade up to get Bryce Young, resulting in the Panthers missing on Caleb Williams and Stroud. He also now has a reputation for firing coaches way too prematurely (especially given the state of the roster), so hes not going to attract any good coaches now. Until the NFL steps in and forces a sale, the Panthers are going to be stuck at the bottom.

[@haroldsfishingadventures754]

Most people have no idea how the NFL works. Tepper has almost doubled the value of the franchise since taking over, regardless of how poorly the team performs he makes money. He couod be tanking to get the team moved, but Tepper is not leaving the Panthers

[@CarolinaBlood704]

Dave should get out before he gets fired. Bryce is too small he was never Kyler or Pat. CJ was always better especially after that Georgia game. Sad situation.

[@glennday7802]

What's glaringly obvious is Spielman doesn't know the first thing about evaluating NFL talent. And CBS is actually paying this doofus?

[@jfinitiproductions4115]

I don't know if I'd say the trade for Bryce Young will go down as the worst, but definitely one of the worst. In my opinion, the Browns trading for Deshaun Watson will be the all-time worst trade in NFL history.

It's still too early with Bryce Young. He's only in year two and the Panthers gutted the team around him. He's not performing well, but it isn't all him. You trade his top target and expect him to perform at an elite level? That's unrealistic and delusional. In another system, with better support, Young could perform significantly better.

[@no506241]

these are the same analyst that said bryce was god's gift to football smh .. changing tune so quick .. lol

[@greenchile6554]

Brock Purdy drafted last and Bryce Young drafted first, how can so many scouts, "experts" be so off about QBs these days (including the Niners w/ Lance)? It's becoming exceedingly rare for a team to hit on a 1st round QB.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Mitch Trubisky, Zach Wilson, Carson Wentz, Josh Rosen, Tre Lance. All those guys were taken very high in the draft. Look at them all now.

[@Justin0807]

The Watson trade is worse, especially if he gets benched or ‘‘injured’’ before the end of the season.

[@greglyon1402]

If I was a top recruit quarterback and wanted to succeed in the NFL, I would go to a second tier school like Purdue or Arizona. Start four years. Really develop my game under tough conditions. But guys like Caleb and Young play with the best offensive lines and receivers. They get 6 to 10 seconds to find an open receiver. Heck, LSU had receivers drafted in the first round! In the pros, you need to get rid of the ball in under 3 seconds. Now there are exceptions. CJ Stroud was one of the exceptions. After the Peach Bowl against Georgia, you knew CJ was going to be successful. He was essentially playing against NFL players (future). His performance at that level was outstanding.

[@THE1BMANY]

Nobody wants to hold the coaches accountable.

[@olddadpaulie]

I wonder if this shows how good Trevor Lawrence is given that he went to a bad situation and did "ok" instead of failing totally

Being a Buffalo fan since 1964, I know first hand how bad football teams grind young QBs into dust.

[@popjibbletz]

Not at all What 49ers did for Lance was waaaay worse. Watson trade is worse. Wilson trade is THE worst

[@kb9826]

Although the 49ers trade up for Lance was not the right QB it did not set the franchise back 3,4,5,6 years and they remained very competitive and reached SB's; plus they found their FQB a year later. The Browns lost 1 3\4 years of 5 with Watson out of the gate. Denver still sucks and looks to do so for another year or 2 at least. The Panthers traded up for BY,gave away a lot of draft capital, and they still suck and have no future FQB on the roster right now nor will they be competitive for another 2 years minimum; thus the BY pick set them back at least 4 years.

[@Matttaylor016]

After watching Stroud pick apart UGA in the peach bowl, still can't believe he didn't go ahead of Young. However, Young never stood a chance in Carolina. A fresh start with a new franchise may be what he needs. Just needs to go somewhere and be developed. Too much talent.

I think CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson both would be in the same situation if they had gotten drafted by Panthers. Bryce is being the scapegoat for David Tepper terrible reign of ownership.
