Wanting a coach who developed Lawrence is further proof we are drafting a QB IMO.

Combine them and you have Duce Cooter.

Great Hire!

I think most injuries happen inside the pocket. There is a correlation where franchises with running QBs don't build OL like they should because their QB can bail them out. That's what happened with Cam and is currently happening with Fields (hopefully they correct this). Cam rarely got hurt running the ball. Getting drilled in the shoulder while trying to throw the ball is a completely different hit.

That's kind of how I am thinking right now. That's what 4 starters? Yeah we would definitely need a vet too.

He is a solid backup that can win games, should be cheap, and is already familiar with Reich.

The real question is, would you prefer Richardson plus all of our picks to build talent around him or CJ Stroud minus our 2nd rounders and next 2 1st round picks (so much less help)?

Yeah but seriously if he is owed it pay him. Tepper doesn’t want to be in the business of screwing over coaches. We will eventually need to hire another one…

Lol it’s there, Rhule just can’t see it.

Burrows team was pretty loaded as well

Levis will probably get some playing time in his rookie year. I would be surprised if he is 3rd string. I'm not sure on Darnold either as he has no ties to Reich. Several people on here have brought up Brissett from when he played for Reich with the Colts which would make sense. Richardson probably needs time to sit and learn, but if we get Brian Johnson as OC which has been rumored, he might be playing sooner than people think IMO. Johnson is already familiar with Richardson and could run a similar system Hurts is in now to help incorporate his running ability.

I don't see a HC like Reich not giving Corral a fair chance. I also don't see Fitt and the Panthers staff not drafting a high pick QB to compete with Corral. Honestly they probably sign a vet as well. As bad as it sounds the higher invested top pick will probably get more looks, but Reich won't ignore Corral like Rhule did.

The ones like Luck, Burrow, etc that are universally seen as franchise guys aren't tradeable. The worst team in the league won't let them go via trade.

So you would spend a top 10 pick on one of these QBs that you firmly believe aren't franchise QBs?

If you had the top pick which QB are you taking?

What about Burrow tearing his ACL his rookie year, Herbert getting injured early this year, Corral couldn't even make it past preseason. MAYBE it's a physical sport and a lot of young QBs will go down with injuries at some point.

I think it's easy for people to sit back and say this guy isn't a franchise QB, don't draft him because of whatever. Chances are most prospects won't be a franchise QB, because it's such a rare thing to come by. My question is to posters like @OldhamAand @DaveThePanther2008 who do you think IS a franchise QB in this draft or the previous one. If nothing else which QB would you draft.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/400869595 https://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore/_/gameId/400869627 That would be Mahomes putting up 10 points against Iowa St and 17 against West Virginia his final year... Not quite a gazillion against some questionable teams.

He put up 41 points against the top defense in the nation and let them on a GWD in which the kicker missed the FG. It's a great game to reference.

His star WR got hurt (couldn’t finish the game) and the other was injured most of the year and didn’t play. He still led them in FG range to win it. It was a longer FG, but he can’t control that it was missed. If you don’t like him I understand, but this would be a tough game to criticize…

A puma?

That offense has so much potential. If we could get Lance for our lower 2nd (basically giving it back to SF) it would be so tempting. Lance, Brissett, and Corral could be a nice QB room.

So if we draft one in the first two rounds they should play over Corral because draft position?

Wilks signed Eason to a roster spot as interim HC. It could just as easily be signing a QB Wilks was familiar with.
