I really like MacMillan, as we talked about in the draft process.<\/p>\n

I really like this fit actually, it’s one I kind of was maybe MacMillan TMac would end up as a Panther, but then really as of now sat here, as you say, now we get to review how these guys fit in there.<\/p>\n
Yeah, this is gonna be a lot of fun, especially with Bryce Young, because Bryce Young can give him a chances.<\/p>\n
Bryce Young loves throwing back shoulders, which also I think MacMillan is gonna thrive with.<\/p>\n
And then another synergy thing that I’m really, really excited about with these two is Bryce Young, like Kim Ward a little bit, likes to scramble to throw.<\/p>\n
You know, he likes to run around and find throws.<\/p>\n

What was we talked about this, what was shining example of M’s tape, all the scramble drills, and he’s exceptional on them because he has a good feel for space and he’s a big body.<\/p>\n
And I was like, OK, here we go.<\/p>\n
There’s some like stylistic overlap here.<\/p>\n
So that’s got me a little bit more excited about this, but he’s gonna be the number one receiver there.<\/p>\n
They have auxiliary options too, which will help him out.<\/p>\n
I like the offensive line.<\/p>\n
I’m kind of like Let’s go Panthers offense.<\/p>\n
Like this is, I think this Panthers offense could be at least a top half unit, top 15, top 16 unit.<\/p>\n
I’m not gonna say top 5 or anything, but really complete unit that I think MacMillan’s gonna hit the ground running in this offense is gonna hit the ground running.<\/p>\n

Just when they actually throw the ball to MacMillan, I pointed this out this morning after um at Dunk on Demand, who’s a a Panther, they follows the Panthers and everything, put out a 3 minute video of Bryce Young throwing digs and inbreakers, uh, MacMillan in reception.<\/p>\n
Perception, 14.1% of his chartered routes were a dig, um, and 82.5% success rate.<\/p>\n
Both were above the prospect average.<\/p>\n
That’s really where I think his separation skills are best expressed.<\/p>\n
And even though Bryce Young’s a smaller quarterback, I do think he kind of stands out from the small guys, Nate, that he actually does operate the middle of the field really well.<\/p>\n

That’s always been why I’ve been like.<\/p>\n
Not totally out on him.<\/p>\n
I’ve always been, I’ll be full disclaimer, I’ve always been a lower on Bryce Young guy than others, especially after the rookie year, but I thought last year the growth was real and the comfort level, and you could see how he wins now, and it’s not Kyler, it’s not Russell Wilson, he’s totally a different animal than those guys.<\/p>\n
Um, it’s really God.<\/p>\n
It’s almost Brock Purty-ish, like, you know, it’s like he’s kind of like a different beast than those guys and how he, how he wins and everything.<\/p>\n
This is good.<\/p>\n
This is good for Panthers fans and good for MacMillan and good for the whole setup.<\/p>\n
