Panthers coach Frank Reich on drafting Bryce Young No. 1 over CJ Stroud: ‘We got the guy we wanted’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:09:25 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers defended their decision to take Bryce Young with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, even as C.J. Stroud has gotten off to a strong start.When the Panthers traded up to the top spot in the draft and selected the smaller Young over Stroud, who went second overall to the Houston Texans, the comparisons between the two QBs became inevitable.And through six games Stroud has clearly been better.But Panthers coach Frank Reich doesn’t seem concerned as the top two picks prepare to meet for the first time on the NFL stage Sunday in Carolina, as he views their careers as a marathon rather than a sprint.“We got the guy that we wanted to get,” Reich said. “ We couldn’t be happier about that, in every way. I am happy for C.J. He’s had six good games and I have no doubt he will have many more good games. But I know this: when it comes to evaluating quarterbacks or any other position it is (about) years, not weeks.”Stroud has thrown for 1,660 ya...

White House throws lavish state dinner for Australia but takes pizazz down a notch in time of war

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House took the pizazz down a notch for Wednesday’s state dinner, but more than 300 guests from politics, business, government and beyond turned out to celebrate close U.S. ties to ally Australia while striking a measured tone in a time of death and suffering in the Middle East.The celebrity quotient was lower than usual for the fourth state dinner of President Joe Biden’s term, but actor John Leguizamo was happy to represent Hollywood and guessed that he’d snagged an invite because of all his work helping to elect the president. As for what legislator he’d most like to be cast as, Leguizamo thought for a minute and declared “Schumer” — as in Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York — and joked he might get a chance to talk it over with the lawmaker during the dinner.The gowns were more muted for this fall soiree than the eye-popping colors prominent at the state dinner for India last spring, but Caroline Kennedy stood out i...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Tyrod Taylor moved a little closer to making his third straight start for the Giants on Wednesday with Daniel Jones still not cleared to play in the New York rivalry game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.For the second straight week, Jones was throwing at the practice facility, but team medical officials have not cleared him for contact. The 26-year-old quarterback hurt his neck in the fourth quarter of a loss to Miami on Oct. 8 and he has missed games against Buffalo and Washington.A 13-year-veteran, Taylor started those games and he has played well, considering New York’s offense has scored the fewest points in the league (85). He had two touchdown passes in a 14-7 win over the Commanders on Sunday, and had the Giants (2-5) in the red zone five times in a 14-9 loss to the Bills.Giants coach Brian Daboll indicated on Wednesday that Jones’ status might change.“I think any time you’re talking about the neck you’ve got to understan...
