Bryce over Stroud is starting to look like a mistake… might be early as the sample size is too small, but Stroud has looked rather impressive. I haven’t watched a ton of Panther games/highlights so I can’t fully make an honest opinion on how he’s looked.

Yes. It is.
Oh good this thread again.
I actually think Bryce has been just fine given the state of the team. Yes, Stroud is a fucking baller and should have been taken first, but I don’t think Bryce was a bad pick at all.
Yep
It is too early. They’re rookies. Look at the takes on Goff vs Wentz in 2016. Narratives change fast.
I felt that way at the draft. Stroud was my QB1 but I still was and am high on Young. He’ll be fine you can’t judge too harshly off of a rookie year
You have an opinion on how the Panthers drafted yet admitted you haven’t watched them?
Why have a thesis on a subject you’ve done zero research on?
Yes
Yes. It honestly seems like sports fans knowingly fall victim to recency bias.
Yes, at various points it looked like Burrow over Herbert was an error and that Tua would be a bust. All three have gone on to be top level QBs.
Allen looked terrible until his 3rd season. Hurts was poor to start with too.
Too early… but let’s be honest how often is the first overall pick the best QB in the draft?
Manning and Lawrence are the only clear cuts that come to mind… the rest are either debatably the best but inconclusive (Burrow vs Herbert/Tua/Hurts or Newton vs Dalton) or were bad but won by default.
QB success is way more about supporting cast, scheme fit, and player/coach cohesion. All things that are indicative to the organization, not player.
Not to say HOU is dripping with supporting cast… but still better then CAR
It’s early but Stroud was my QB1 even before the Georgia game and I would be lying if I said I don’t feel vindicated
I thought coming out of college that Stroud had a better shot at becoming great, but yeah, give them both until this time next year to make an educated projection.
Things can change quickly, so we will see. Right now it MAYBE looks that way but as everyone else in the comments is saying it’s way too early to really judge.
I will say Stroud already looks like a stud. But that doesn’t mean Bryce Young can’t still be good or even very good.
As a fan of the Jets, who are masters of bad quarterback drafting, I would say it is too early yet.
The one thing I don’t like that Carolina did was move up to draft a QB #1, giving up a lot of assets, without having a good line and weapons for Young when he got there.
If I was a GM I would have traded any assets on the defensive side, even someone valuable like Burns, just to make sure the new QB has the weapons and protection to develop.
Build the offense around your QB, then worry about building a good defense to start winning games.
