Stroud is good or bust. He's looking competent so far.

Panthers have been an ass franchise since Tepper took over. There's a reason they had the #1 pick. The Team is trash. Gonna take time to turn it around, hopefully Bryce ain't in ICU by then.
CJ Stroud will be a top QB if Houston can protect him from getting hit.

Their offensive line is hurt but should return soon.

Remains to be seen if Nico Collins is for real. But if he proves reliable, and Robert Woods hangs on and maybe helps to mentor guys like Metchie and Dell, they could have a good foundation.

Problem is, Woods and Schultz are near the end of their careers.

And ideally you’d want Pierce to be a better pass catcher.

As for Bryce Young, he has no talent to grow with. None of the Panthers running backs are true NFL caliber players (Sanders, Hubbard, Blackshear). And the veteran pass catchers are bad or old (Thielen, Chark, Shenault, Hurst). So it’s just Mingo, a very underwhelming Marshall so far, and kick a lot of field goals.

I’m not ready to call Young a bust, but I’ll say it’s difficult to see a path to success. You’ve got a small QB who isn’t a running threat, with a bad running back unit. Underwhelming receivers and a bad defense.

How does anyone see this panning out?

Teams can no longer afford to sit highly drafted rookie Qb’s. These are usually really bad football teams throwing these rookie QB’s to the wolves & nowadays in this no attention span having society they get unfairly judged early on. These guys need time to mature and figure out a system, teammates, coaches, etc. Getting drafted late actually can benefit these guys who can sit for a year & slow the game down before being thrown in the fire. Sam Howell looks pretty solid for a 5th round pick & he sat all season last year until the final game. It helps getting drafted to a team with solid offensive pieces in place even if OL is shaky.

Nico Collins is a star in the making. Just wait and see..

They need to tighten up the o-line and they need another solid RB. Johnathan Taylor would do them wonders

AR is showing the highest ceiling :ufdup:
Anthony Richardson showed impressive mobility. But the fact is he isn’t throwing the football down the field.

A lot of this is by design. They’re getting creative and getting the ball into Michael Pittman underneath and letting him beat defenders to get yards after the catch.

Long term though, Richardson is not only going to have to show a willingness to throw the football down the field, but accuracy down the field. He could be great. But for now I like CJ Stroud more.

If we start seeing Alec Pierce catching bombs (he’s their deep threat) then that’s a sign the league has been put on notice.

Panthers had the #1 pick cause they traded up from 9
They very nearly won the division last year
They're not a good team but also I'm just going off eye test, absolutely nothing stands out about Bryce in terms of athletic gifts and he's the smallest QB in the league
Also he already got hurt smh

He can but he doesn't trust his arm. He can read the plays, he just runs.
