I was a Bryce guy. But that take is looking better as of late. He looked like a legit starter down the stretch. Meanwhile, Stroud had his sophomore slump.
College stats shows who should be QB1 in that draft. Cue the hype...

Only one of them has the processing speed to read all that on one take Lol

Historically, those were powerful southern california high school teams. We had some serious playoff games out here in those days.
Bryce Young played for a hs powerhouse called Mater Dei. Stroud had a very strong team at Rancho Cucamonga. Jayden Daniels ran the show in San Bernadino, went to state champs. DJ uiagalelei was the Top qb from another powerhouse out here in california called Bosco

Thing with Bryce is if he ever has to play in the playoffs game in NY or Philly, in the cold winds.

Does his arm have enough?

Purdy has the same issue.

Purdy is going to put up good numbers, regardless of his arm strength. He was drafted the last in his draft class, not the first like Young.

Today I heard that Young already has the worst record in the "common draft era" for the #1 pick of any draft.

Then I saw an early play in the Panthers-Cards game today where the Cards blitz him and Young just tries to force the ball as the pass rushers are bearing down on him. It was a fumble.

Not a smart decision. With his physical deficits, he needs to be a football savant and he doesn't seem to be that, not showing great processing the it does to reading coverages.

If Young doesn't show big improvement this season, Panthers have to think about drafting another QB.
