At the bold. But he probably has a better chance of breaking that curse than anyone.

Last year he seemed far and away the best QB in college especially with what he did in the big games.  Never understood the Young hype or he could have possibly been the number one pick.  Panthers could become the Portland Trail Blazers of the NFL.

Early for sure but the things he's flashing right now show Elite QB potential. If you're Houston, that's absolutely all you can ask for at this stage. They gotta be pumped.

Carolina fans are already very disgruntled with Bryce Young.

Again, it's early.

I remember huge games from Joey Harrington. I remember the game when RGIII threw for 4 TDs and had a perfect passer rating. I also remember that Drew Brees was horrible his first few years. I remember a guy whose rookie season saw him complete 38% of his passes. He threw 6 TDs and 24 INTs. He later went on to win 4 Super Bowls (Bradshaw). Troy Aikman threw 18 INTs his rookie year. Peyton Manning threw 28.
