But the experience and ability are part of why the Panthers wanted the 6-3 and 220-pound passer here. General manager Dan Morgan expressed an interest this offseason in providing some competition at the backup quarterback spot with someone young and mobile.
Young is firmly the starter, but competition at the backup spot with Andy Dalton will also give Carolina a chance to develop someone still in the early stages of their career while providing a compliment to Young, whether it be on a play or in the case of injury.
"I think (Bryce and I are) very similar in how we play," noted Pickett. "I think we both operate well from the pocket, and when things break down, we can make plays on the move. I think Coach does a lot of things play action-wise, boots, you get out on the edge, and we both can throw the ball well on the run.
"So, I think I think we kind of complement each other in what we do. We're excited to learn more about how he sees things, talk X's and O's, and get to know him better as a person first. But yeah, I think it's definitely exciting being in a room where you feel like we kind of play the same way and we kind of, the same mold of what they're looking for here."
