Ummm he got picked already, lol

Lol, manziel was a sure fire prospect? Only was picked in the first round because the browns owner was persuaded by a homeless man to take him.

Had Rhule been here in 2011, he would have pushed to draft someone like Marcel Dareus, because this is a process and rolled with Derek Anderson. As much as I wasn’t a fan of Rivera by the end of his tenure, you can thank him for playing a big role in us getting Cam. Didn’t realize that we weren’t set on drafting Cam within 48 hours of the draft until I read this article about this years Draft process… There wasn’t clarity at this point in 2011, the last time Carolina had the top pick. The staff was divided on whether to take Auburn quarterback Cam Newton to the point the situation had become volatile during a meeting less than 48 hours before the draft, according to a person who was in the room that day. There were questions about Newton’s decision-making and his unique style as a dual-threat quarterback. There were questions about his character going back to his freshman year at Florida, when he stole a laptop, and later when he was accused of having a pay-for-play plan to go to Mississippi State. Then-first year coach Ron Rivera angrily told everyone in the room he was tired of hearing what Newton couldn’t do for the organization and demanded they focus on what Newton could do. https://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/37621/how-panthers-no-1-pick-process-has-been-different-this-time-around

That’s a better three picks than Burns, Little and Grier who were telegraphed before the draft.

There was no rush to start Mahomes because they were 12-4 in the previous season with Alex Smith, and started off 5-0 and ended up winning the division/making the playoffs his rookie year. He may have been ready to play, but they had the luxury of waiting since the team around him was good and Smith could game manage well enough. I don’t see that situation being the same here.

Uh oh, he is going to be a Steeler because he's following Kenny Pickett

I think with either QB you could say that

Most people said the same thing about Alabama QBs 5 years ago

Hey I read a meme about something that factually is true but has no influence on the future, so here's a new thread where I use that to support my opinion despite there being dozens of other threads discussing the same topic Never change huddle

Lol this is such an absurd take. Over nine years, he had one excellent wide receiver for his first 3 years (Steve Smith). In his prime, his "#1 receivers" were Kelvin Benjamin, Ted Ginn and Devin Funchess. Not to mention the Shula offense which was reliant on his threat to run, of course he wasn't going to lead the league in passing yards. And the offensive line, we just wanted functional - rather than relying on dudes like Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Byron Bell, Nate Chandler, and Brian Folkerts to protect your best asset. Imagine if we surrounded this new rookie QB with trash like that how mad we'd be.

I just found the thread for the Smith PC. Amazing stuff https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321518

"He throws a better ball"

Miles bridges

I feel like he got more hate on here than he deserved. I get that part of it is because he was a Rhule guy.

Also it’s the name of the star running back from the movie Friday Night Lights

Have to have the illusion of competing I guess

The Matthew Stafford package had to be two firsts so they could dump Jared Goffs contract. But the packers have the jets by the balls now because Rodgers waited so long to decide what he wants. They missed Carr and Jimmy g and surely don’t want to trot out wentz or Ryan with this team.

Stop posting please

Man, like every coach in the league would be fired under these circumstances

I mean three seasons or playoffs is pretty much the rule for any head coach.

I wouldn’t have an issue with them signing Lazard, he’s very underrated. But bringing in Randall Cobb in the slot when you have a more explosive player like Elijah Moore on a rookie deal and Marcedes Lewis who has played long enough to wear a leather helmet? Yikes.

I prefer this one

guess someone at wikipedia screwed up. https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/3051388/vonn-bell

Add Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, and RG3. Before you asterisk jackson for only starting half the season, they won 6 out of the 7 games he started vs Flacco who was 4-5. And while they didn’t win their division, mac jones, luck, Andy Dalton, mark Sanchez, joe Flacco, and Matt Ryan all made the playoffs in year 1.

The Huddle before the 2021 draft "Wait until 2022, let's be patient and we will end up with an even better QB than any in this class like Spencer Rattler or Sam Howell"
