That’s why in that regard he reminds me of Josh Allen who was also criticized for not being accurate in college.

Same. AR reminds me of a more explosive Josh Allen as a prospect

Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson may have done more than any other player to improve his draft stock at the Scouting Combine. Richardson was outstanding in Indianapolis, and as a result he’s now listed behind Alabama’s Bryce Young in the betting odds to be the first quarterback drafted. Young remains the favorite at -240, but Richardson is now second at +380. Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud has moved down to third at +430, while Kentucky’s Will Levis is a long shot at +1100. The extreme long shots are Stanford’s Tanner McKee at +7500 and Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker at +7500. How did Richardson do it? By putting on one of the most impressive performances in Scouting Combine history. His vertical jump was the best ever for a quarterback. His broad jump was also the best ever for a quarterback. At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, with a 40-yard dash time of 4.43 seconds, he would be considered an elite athletic prospect at any position, not just quarterback. But even more impressive was Richardson’s arm in the throwing drills. Richardson unleashed a series of 60-yard throws that landed in his receivers’ hands. Richardson’s arm talent is remarkable. Richardson is not a perfect prospect. He completed just 53.8 percent of his passes last season at Florida, and he started just 13 games in his college football career. Completion percentage and games started are two of the college quarterback stats with the best track record for predicting NFL success, and Richardson ranks near the bottom of all the quarterbacks in this year’s draft in both categories. But some NFL team is going to fall in love with Richardson’s raw talent, make him a first-round pick, and hope to develop him into a franchise starter for years to come. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/05/anthony-richardsons-sensational-combine-performance-raises-his-draft-stock/

https://nflpa.com/carolina-panthers-report-card The Carolina Panthers are ranked 12th among all NFL teams in our guide. Overall, players feel the facility is older than most, but is still functional. The most pressing issue players reported is upgrading the pool room, a key tool for player training and recovery. Players feel the floors in the pool room are unsafe and there have been complaints of a slippery surface with players falling regularly. The good news is that there has been recent investment into areas of the facility, like the locker room; and they recently hired Frank Reich, who was rated as one of the most player friendly and respected coaches in the league by the Colts last year. The players hope to continue to see more money being put into the necessary upgrades as 92% of respondents believed that David Tepper was willing to invest money into upgrading the facilities, ranking him 18th in the NFL in that category.

I would rather roll with Darnold as the bridge vet QB and draft the future

So Cognitive > RIS now?

If we had Ickey in SB50, we win. That's how good of a pick he is.

I know was responding to the original tweet. Should’ve clarified

This so dumb. You’re telling me the Bengals, Charger and Bills haven’t found their QB since they haven’t won the SB yet?

No thanks. We already traded CMC, why would we replace him with another expensive RB? Rather draft a RB in later rounds for depth and Chiefs have proven you can find good ones in later rounds (i.e. Pacheco) if you're good at scouting them.

Carr seems to have regressed badly. Even his buddy Devanta Adams didn’t shed tears when he was benched and released

Nobody says it's less risky, but it's a risk you have to take at some point instead of being a pussy and hoping you can reclaim someone else's garbage. He also doesn't fit the category because he was a franchise QB who was available as a one year rental. I don't think anyone is interested in having to find another QB next year.

Cam shouldn't be on the list because he already proved himself as a franchise QB and unfortunately injuries prematurely ended his career. These same people will use the "did not win a superbowl" argument to not include Cam in a list of successful #1 overall picks. They would consider Dan Marino a bust by the same logic .

Stop it, nobody says it's a shoo-in, but doing the same thing over and over is definition of insanity. We need to do our research and draft a quarterback in the first round and see where the chips may fall. The part that you wont' say is that we already KNOW that the free agents we signed or you want to sign are not franchise quarterbacks because they already FAILED somewhere else. At least with our own draft choice, we have a chance to do something...

No myth. I would just rather we succeed or fail with our own QB selection than take on any more discarded trash

Why the Panthers will draft a QB in the first round Colts: 1. Jacoby Brissett 2. Philip Rivers 3. Carson Wentz 4. Matt Ryan 5. Nick Foles Panthers: 6. Kyle Allen 7. Teddy Bridgewater 8. Sam Darnold 9. Baker Mayfield 10. PJ Walker

Has Derrick Brown played in this scheme before?

He was close with Jake Delhomme as I recall.

No because you lose your only consistent pass rusher. You can't take a step back on defense if you're bringing in a young QB.

I think the whole accumulation of draft picks is overrated as proven that the New England model faltered once Tom Brady left. Without a franchise QB, you have no chance at legitimately competing for a SuperBowl, you do everything you can to get that right, within reason. IF the staff have conviction of a QB in the draft, you do what it takes to get him. If there's no conviction, then stay put. Once you have your QB, then you can go back to the norm and save your picks to build the roster.

Sorry the idea of playing with Brisett and Minshew and waiting another year for a QB is truly nauseating.

It's not just about sacks, realistically Burns should have had even more sacks but he's been really good at pressuring the QB regardless. This roster is a QB away from going to the playoffs. You have to take advantage of a window when it presents itself, instead of trying to worry about future draft picks. Thee players and the coaching staff won't be around forever.
