C.J. Stroud’s impressive rookie playoff performance is just rubbing salt in the wound of the Carolina Panthers and their fans who selected Bryce Young with the first overall pick in last year’s draft.
As the Ohio State product continues to make history in his first NFL season, people couldn’t help but compare it to Bryce’s struggles down in Charlotte:
“We got f–king Bryce Young,” a fan tweeted.

“Panthers really took an L,” another user posted. “No hate on Bryce Young I still think he’ll be a starting QB in the league but..he ain’t CJ7 and it’s really not even that close.”

Stroud is well on his way to setting a number of rookie records in his postseason debut. It may be a while before Young gets that chance.
