Yeah he basically announced to the league he can’t read defenses with the ghosts comment and Rhule was like “I need that guy.”

Yeah. Nothing can turn a franchise around quicker than a great QB. There may or may not be one in this draft, but if there is and we miss him there will be some angry Huddlers.

That logic kind of annoys me. They were getting that 3rd regardless as a comp. It’s not relevant to the Parker trade so he doesn’t come free…

It’s not that silly of a thought process IF Rhule still has roster control. Taking a tackle and looking at next year’s QB class is the safer/long term route. Rhule is on the hot seat and next year (in theory) should make or break him. @micnificent28is saying drafting a LT like Cross for example and rolling out Darnold again probably won’t get us many more wins NEXT year. Swapping out Darnold for Pickett (most pro ready) might be his best shot at increasing our wins next year. If Rhule wants to keep his job he needs results ASAP. It’s one of the many reasons it’s foolish to have a coach like Rhule with roster control. Hopefully he no longer has full control ( these recent FAs seem like someone else is calling the shots) and we have nothing to worry about.

Nice points with the data to back it up. I’m sure it will be countered with lazy Dalton comparisons and the ole eye test. Huddle Update- if a QB doesn’t have Rodger’s arm strength he is Teddy Bridgewater. If a QB is athletic and had a lot of rushing yards he is Tarvaris Jackson.

I think everyone thought Mac was going 3 to the Niners. Then this board freaked out because they thought we might draft him. I was one of the ones who didn’t want him too. I think Willis is getting the attention in this class and I see why. He has a lot of potential.

I think it was a red flag when you came on and immediately continued a conversation that a previous user was toting to a point of trolling. It was like a day after he got banned you came on continuing it. I'm not saying he is or isn't you but he was definitely a troll and basically lumped only certain black QBs into a category with the stereotypes of can't read defenses, will never win etc... If the mods don't monitor this board it will turn into a real poo show fast and we will have to be scrolling through countless trolls, threats, and nonsense to try to find decent conversations. Unfortunately that is what it has come to. No one wants this place to be as annoying as Facebook or any social media filled with nonsense, we want to talk about the Panthers.

Why isn't his hat backwards???

This is what we know about Kenny Pickett. He has shown he can play the game at a very high level in a Power 5 conference without a loaded roster. He made a big jump from his previous years (which to me means he put in the time to get better at this craft. This is essential to have a successful NFL QB IMO. The greats are always trying to get better.) He has good speed for the position and uses it to extend plays and has an average NFL arm (this isn't a negative or a positive just average). He seems to be one of the better QBs at going through his progressions/reading defenses last yet. He only had one great year and his hands are 3/8 of a inch smaller than Burrow's are his negatives. I would be more concerned if he was Jordan Love with one good year not being his most recent one. I think he is a decent prospect and if he build properly around him (like almost any QB) we can have success with him.

That's also why Bryce Young worries me a little bit as a prospect. It's hard to evaluate Alabama QBs with their NFL OL/RB/WRs every year....

Then shame on us and we need to be better. Sounds like we are starting to get the memo with our OL coach/FA additions.

I’m still confused? Is this specifically for Pickett? His arm is capable of making big time throws he just can’t rip it like Allen/Mahomes. Brady’s arm isn’t top in the league and he seems to be doing fine. The QB with the most “big time” throws was actually Howell believe it or not.

Why do you consider him a system QB? Looks like they run a pro style offense at Pitt…

I really don’t understand the Pickett hate. It’s like Mac Jones all over again… He is a solid prospect IMO.

The board would become nothing but trolls/fighting everywhere. Basically the tinderbox, but worse.

B) all day long. More picks.

So aside from Brady (unicorn) and Mahomes (mobile/plays outside the pocket a lot), which recent Super Bowl Winning Pocket Passer would you want on our team? Stafford who couldn’t win a playoff game until he went to a loaded them, 38 year old Manning who leaned on Denver’s elite defense, Nick Foles, or Joe Flaco?

He played hurt the previous year. That’s one of the reasons he said he came back. He knew he could play at a much higher level healthy and guess what?? He was right..

When they talk about QB not having any “elite” physical traits he would be one just like Brady. They make up for it with competitiveness, living in the film room, and staying calm under pressure. My point was it’s dumb to write off a prospect like Pickett because he doesn’t have any “elite” physical traits. He has shown he can play the position at a high level.

Fields was my draft crush too…

I'm a little more confident with McAdoo and our new OL coach, but I completely understand the worry about any Matt Rhule lead team trying to develop a player, especially a QB.

Yeah look no further than UNC to show what you are saying. Howell had to run a lot more this year because his OL was terrible. It basically became a one read and run because he would be sacked otherwise. Liberty was much of the same. The fans that watched Willis/Howell play can see this. The ones that haven’t or just are against drafting a QB will try to argue differently.
