Shocker

Willis and Allen are apples and oranges. By physical upside I guess you mean athleticism but Allen has a cannon and size etc. Not seeing it as a comparison. Willis IMO will need a few years to develop but I don’t see it. He can’t be Lamar Jackson. Too small. I mean his awareness and ability to read a pro defense is a complete unknown. He isn’t a risk worth taking at all IMO. I mean at all in the draft. All these things will take shape as we get closer to the draft but I seriously think Howell could rise to #1 on the list. Its a bad list but the guy has something different

BTW…this Tennessee vs Purdue game is insanely good! Awesome

No concerns about Willis as a passer? Very interesting putting him up top

You have sold yourself on Willis…thats fine and some team will probably do the same. Will say this about Howell…he walked on campus and UNC overnight became a very dangerous offensive team. He did it over a few years too. There is something there and if he improves significantly he will put up crazy numbers.

For the Panthers I want a pure passer or something that looks like one. I mean Jake and Beuerlein are best we ever had as passers? Man No slight at all at Cam either. He is the best Panther ever for me but not a pure passer Pickett isn’t it for me. Is he as good as Goff? That is my comp but more like Gabbert.

LOL…yeah you are probably right there. Gotta be a better passer as I saw some really bad overthrows and such from him. Great athleticism but he is not Lamar Jackson.

He doesn’t have a great supporting cast and has carried the team all year. Much of the time behind multiple scores as well with a bad OL. Howell is very far from a great prospect but he could be good in a good situation. Could be said for any draft QBs. Zach Wilson would be the #1 pick by a mile in this draft and Jets fans want him gone already. The idea of staying away from this QB class altogether could be a good one I put some stock in Corral and Howell playing the bowl games and putting team first

Not as a passer for me. Willis is a faster PJ Walker. Not at all on his bandwagon. He played bad comp and we he did play good teams he struggled mightily. Your description fits Matt Corral for me. He is my top guy atp. Corral Howell Ridder Pickett Strong

We could pick Trevor Lawrence and he would struggle mightily here. Plain and simple we can’t be a consistent offense with this OL.

For perspective, and not that I always agree with him but Kiper said his top rated QB (Pickett) in this draft would have been the sixth rated guy against last years class behind Lawrence, Wilson, Jones, Lance and Fields. Totally agree there. I think Sam Howell will drop some due to his average measurables and stats this year but still believe he can play. LOL at the Lamar Jackson comp. Baker Mayfield is a better one. Of course he hasn’t been great so that’s concerning

“over” is the word man I will wait to make a list…Ridder vs Bama should be interesting

Actually a seriously great post. Well done Scotty

So how in the hell is starting Sam a bad idea? I don’t get this board anymore just a bunch of complainers

I doubt we can fix QB and the OL in one offseason with our dearth of draft picks. Maybe sign Mitch Trubisky to a short deal and roll with him and Darnold. Spend like crazy in FA and draft fixes on the OL. We will also have other positions of need to fill in players. Shoot for 2024 to be really good. This will take a few drafts at minimum IMO unless Fitty can pull off something miraculous

Totally agree with this…but I would bet we do look to trade down if we can. Hopefully we don't move down too far. Praying we don’t stay there and pick Pickett personally. In fact all these QBs have big questions

Ok, thanks for monitoring my posts and letting me know what I mean.

I mean Rae hitman Carruth maybe?

Probably should resign Zane as well

Yeah those are a good start except Carter…he can walk

Well no, they could turns us down for either. Jeez

Impossible to find a more iconic NFL figure…RIP

If we resigned and started Will Grier they would legit beat us

I am hoping we get to #5 and some team wants to trade up like 2 spots with us. We grab a high third and still get a LT I can dream

He has done an amazing job there after taking serious heat earlier this season. Very impressive
