No one is trading for him. Period. Everyone in the NFL knows he is getting cut.

I used to be heavily involved in AAU. Syracuse has long provided impermissible benefits to it's star recruits. He just hid behind the alumni like they all do. I remember having a discussion with a top recruit(top 15, five star) handler years ago about Jim Beoheim specifically.

Not to mention they have always gotten paid. All those old school coaches are upset because they can't have a monopoly on under the table money anymore and it's a free market distribution. They are also upset because they can't rook these poor bastards into taking a four year scholarship with almost no recourse if things don't work out. Now with the transfer portal and expanded rights there, it's like free agency every offseason. Well......fuging good. fug these whiny college coaches that have made MILLIONS while the athletes they directly exploited get nickels in return. No college coach has any right to open their mouth unless they have been getting paid a salary roughly equivalent to a tenured professor at their university. They are and have been the ultimate crooks in the entire shady college sports fiasco.

He is an elite pass rusher. You really can't have enough of those. The thought was that Burns would be that elite guy but he hasn't quite been able to reach that height yet. Luvu is a great player but he isn't in the same class when it comes to keeping QB pressure. But, Reddick was also used very effectively by Philly and 97% of what we did in Carolina was insanely stupid. Perhaps we will get more out of these guys with competent coaching.

We have neglected KR/PR forever in the draft. Hence why I said in my offseason predictions that we would do so again.

fuging stupid as fug. Also about par for the course as a Panthers fan

The salary cap went up. $30 mil/year is mediocre starter money now.

Are you planning on paying him in draft picks??

Yeah, I may have my own opinions but even if he takes Levis/Richardson, I will give him a chance to work with them. He has earned some benefit of the doubt in his NFL career.

Well he was a guy that reportedly did not want Tua, so I imagine the thought of Kyler Murray couldn't have excited him.

I am 100% okay with this scenario.

I sincerely hope you are correct. It would be fantastic to see the Broncos fail that miserably after trading away premium draft picks. On the other hand, it will suck to see the Saints get two top 10 picks.

Lol. What insight is needed on something that a simple search of the results from the NFL Combine could have netted? Good luck with your "science."

This tracks with your first post pretty well.

Please go review the definition of "science" and possibly at least read the first couple of paragraphs of the "scientific method" Wiki. Maybe that elementary understanding something will make your realize how completely moronic what you posted was.

There are a lot of things that are science, what you just did is possibly the least scientific thing ever. This is what happens to people when ESPN's Sports "Science" segment is the most exposure to science they have.

Losing the draft is how you lose games. I am not advocating the top 2 or bust, but you need to believe in the guy or you simply don't take him.

Yeah, if it was all about size, Cam would still be playing now.

My point being that I don't think that size is much of a factor when it comes to being injury prone. That is usually just the specific player's body, how much damage they take over time and how they are able to heal from that damage. If the only concerns about Young are basically that he is small, that means he is a far and away the best QB in this draft.

Not every team will have 1st round grades on these QB's. Positional value moves QB's up substantially, sometimes regardless of the evaluations.

Picking a guy with a 2nd round or lower grade in the top ten has a very unsuccessful history. That is how you start fuging up a draft.

The issue this year is cost. It will cost quite a bit to get one of the top two guys in this draft. It's a better class overall(especially at the top) but the cost will be quite high to get to that point.

Good thing we had him "compete" for the job this past offseason. Too bad he "lost" that competition.

He is one of the least accurate first round picks in recent memory. 54.7% completion percentage is not something you see for an elite prospect very often. The only one I can think of that low recently was Kyle Boller(much lower, actually). Josh Allen was 56.2% but that is another "planning on an outlier" scenario. It is historically rare for QB's to have better accuracy in the NFL than they did in college.

Yeah, Cam's injuries weren't caused by lack of size. It was just two freak occurrences. Drew Brees didn't have his career ended by injury. Russell Wilson hasn't either. I get that the risk FEELS higher for little guys but I don't think the evidence backs up that assumption. A quality QB should be adept at feeling pressure and getting rid of the ball to limit hits. That goes for scrambling or running QB's too. You don't want to draft a guy or sign a guy with a bad injury history, obviously. That is a bigger red flag than size. Wear and tear is very real. You also want to make sure you strive to protect the QB as much as possible. Which we didn't do for Cam and he got injured. But Kansas City invested a lot of resources into protecting Mahomes and he still ended up with a high ankle sprain this postseason. A lot of this is just pure, dumb luck.
