This fits the 5 year plan, 2 years into Rhule. Kid learns from macadoo for year 1 maybe a little game time year 1. His 2nd year gets the top billing unless we get lucky in the 2023 draft and get the big time 1st rounder (and likely a terrible 2022 to net that high high pick). Likely a growth year. Year 3 he's closer to being above average. Add that to the rest of the OL, WR,CMC, and D and it might work in year 5 if Rhule. Love the kids quick arm and zip in the shirt intermediate game. It's not the sexy big deep throws everyone here wants. It's teddy 2.0 possibly in that he can move the ball between the 20s. Now, can he sling it in tight windows the NFL allows inside the 20s? We shall see. He can launch the ball down field but like a few others it's a little more scatter shot. Then again dudes fresh outa school. It can improve and not a deal breaker. Like the fact he was super quick reader in the RPO. Now that's not to say he should run RPO. It's more he can process and make the quick decision. Counter is he had some really rough games 2 years ago that tanked his stock where his read was quick, wrong, and cost his team INTS and points. To his credit, he had no memory and kept firing, but to the wrong tream.... That's a blessing and a curse, but I rather have the guy without fear than one that goes into a shell when something goes wrong (sorry, but imo that's Sam after Minny). This year he was much stingier with the INTS. I can see this being a reason some teams would really push the stock way down. Overall he is that gunslinger, risk taker, and in a great scheme that got his skill players into open windows. He made teams pay, but if you could crack the scheme code, he could turn it over a lot and in a hurry. So some of the stock has to be depressed as it's the system that people look good in. Kind of the opposite of Herbert's system that depressed his product at Oregon. Cause Herbert definitely looks better in a meh chargers team vs Oregon ducks days. Its a pick that has high risk like most QBs. But at 3 next and 4th this year, eh if it hits your a genius, if not it's not the huge blow a miss the 1st 2 rounds can cause (hey Darnold, Rosen, Jones). Here's hoping Macadoo can unlock the offense with him and can keep putting him in positions to win via the scheme like Lane at Ole Miss.

Lol, Tepper still makes $ on this franchise and the buildings by using them for not just the Panthers, but other events. Hes not hurting on long build or floundering around. Well as long as enough tickets are sold and don't go truly unsold from the Panthers (attendance be damned) he won't hurt. Now maximizing $ on game day sales, yeah that's hurting with the stadium not being full, and that's on a poo product the Panthers currently provide and not all opposing teams are going to travel enough to fill up the stadium with panther fans staying home. I am still a little perplex what Rhule/anyone has said that keeps Tepper on board for 2 more after 2022. That's crazy pants. If they regress the next 2 years is he really going to give a crazy 5th year. Heck if he get another vet QB and again regresses or treads water, another year after a 3rd wrong QB eval? I'll grant Rhule this: his D progressed thru year 1 and again from year 1 ending thru most of year 2. Now part of that was it regressed from before Rhule to his 1sr half of year 1 (one of the worst in history). Also the offense flamed out hard and regressed from year 1 to year 2, would say St was pretty poor all 3 years too. 2 steps back for every step forwards gotta stop. He needs to atleast maintain on D or progress on all fronts this year or why keep the this poo going.

That was malpractice. Like no way shanahan should ever get another job. That BS forever tarnished his Denver runs. RG3 with a line and letting him heal likely is in the top 4 QB I'm the league talk today...... Damn you shanahan for wasting such a talent.makes Ron and co look like geniuses with Cam.

Penning is my guy. Like the nasty streak and is a load in the run game. I swear if the guy played at an acc, big 10, or other power 5 powerhouse, he's in the running for top 5.

This 1000%. guys with sub 4.5 speed or dare to say sub 4.4 at QB show it off at the combine or pro day to lock in that top 10 or better spot. Him not running is a major flag when you look at the tape too. Too many times caught from behind by a camel..... Not saying he needs to be a 4.4 guys like you either. He is shifty enough to maybe to play like Russ and just make something out of nothing. That said watching both guys in college, Russ was head and shoulders the better player/prospect. He produced in 2 better/more difficult conference with much more difficult schedules. If you are drafting based on willis's running prowess, he needs that extra gear, and really, needs a bit more size. We have a 1st hand a count how quick a running QB can get broken. And Cam was a literal tank by comparison to Willis. Idk, but seams like the running is a nice extra and a tiebreaker is the arm, decision making, and accuracy are all the same between 2 prospects. Most of Willis's best film is the odd 2021 year when many other teams were fighting COVID and going to the 3rd string to start games just to play.

Yeah, for us VT fans, the acc title was impossible 2-3 months ago. Hell for us that was as big as a final four. And yeah that went red hot for a month to make it in and got a bad matchup I'm Texas but hell, getting in was house money anyways looking back in January/Feb.

Rat face won nothing this year other than the reg season acc crown which counts for next to nothing. Glad VT could help make that happen and that duke got 2 more rainy days from UNC. Perfect. Glad he is gone. Always know that he gets calls, and ref swallowed whistles that go against the rat. What sucks is this really didn't feel like a 15 point lead for UNC ever but record books are gonna keep it as the biggest comeback by Kansas for now. At least it's not UVA level of history. This one wasn't really that big as it was down to manageable right after half so that 15 point lead really didn't tell the tail of the game.

Even with Sewell possible last year, this was/is the 2022 train I've been on. I get he is a we bit unpolished, but the athletic ability is off the charts. And it's not like the guy is raw as a player either. How the heck he isn't #1, is baffling I. This draft, but I would flip if he was there at 6. Don't give a rip that bama has not been the road for OT. They had some good ones the last 4 years and Neal is waaaaaay better in all measurables and game performances. And I saw penning mentioned, I'd be fine with him at 6 now. All boxes checked except 1. The one he doesn't have is a top D1 school beside the name. And he has the fire you like out of your linemen. It's controlled just enough not to be a flag magnet. Better than passive.

So going from the cake walk least 10 to the NFL minor league SEC? yeah Willis did that too..................

Seen all 3 and Willis is no comparison to either of the others. Liberty University hypes him as choir boy Vick. He's not. Hell Jackson is special, but Vick, he was different, never seen anything like him (closest was Cunningham and still not the same). Too bad he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Willis isn't even Prescott or Wilson imo coming out.

What a bad take above. VT is your acc champs!

Another restructuring for Rhule and fitterer to try and save face in 2022 while throwing away cap in future years when we actually need it and may be competitive. Why open up money for a team in 2022 isn't going to the SB...... I get why other teams pulled this when they are inside a competitive window, but we are far from that.

Stood out at the senior bowl correct. This backs up the tape (come on it should though he's way better than the league he played in) and the senior bowl reviews. Grown on him before the combine as a trade down target. Still might be able to do that, but not as far. Great combine performance today. Same with the Central Michigan exchange student lol

Right. I mean it's semi the saints way, but unlike a team that was planning on deep playoff runs, we are killing future cap space for a lost year coming up. If anything, this year and likely next are the smart years to front load contracts.... So if you are better in the future, you have space when you need it

In some ways I hope that Rhule does this. Burn it to the ground so Rhule leaves no doubt he is the fool we all know he is. At this point he is crossing into a deep dark hole anyway with the current roster anyways.......

Christian Watson just won Thursday and maybe the week.... Like wow. Wanted him but unless we trade 6 for someone's full draft 20s back he's gone. Damn want a day. And was great in the drills too. EDIT: RAS. 10.0 https://mobile.twitter.com/MathBomb/status/1499557967175237632?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1499557967175237632|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-6946542722260756217.ampproject.net%2F2202230359001%2Fframe.html

Crush prior to combine and after: Jelani Woods. His speed popped on tape and at the combine 4.61 at 6'7" and 259. 25 reps at 225. Plus he was super productive this year.

For a no trade draft I'm not mad. Get 2 huge linemen in Neal and Smith. Best 2 run blockers, Smith is a pancake machine that will slide inside at the next level. Added my dark horse QB in Zappe a round later. Most here hope Zappe lasts because there is a void of talent at the QB spot once he's off the board. Fortner is solid, played a lot of G but moved to C for 2021. Think Geoff Hangartner for the older folks in panther nation. Ok starter at best, but great backup for sure with 3 positions he can play, and could nail down a roster spot day one so we don't over spend on a backup level FA. Partial need pick, but very experienced and held up well the last 3 years in the SEC. Considering the other options we have, he could push for the starting role. Now Jelani Woods is a guy imo should shoot up boards. Watched him a few games and he was unstoppable at times for a hug 6'7" the, he moves extremely well. He isn't a bean poll either he's a load that can play in line at the NFL level. Senior bowl got him off on draft simulators, but dude balls. Hs QB that was placed at TE early enough he could blossom year 2 in the NFL. kinda like Logan Thomas but less development required. Also he was a standout at the senior bowl in practice as a larger audience saw a healthy version as well and not a guy playing for a scrub UVA team (where he still put up good #s in a system that spread the ball out). Araiza is everyone's love at punter so nothing more to say on him.

Because of the product we will have on the field, we need something in the stands to make up for it............ So Tepper signs off on giving free beer out for games to anyone in panther gear.

Terrible take

So twfs making sure we knew they were there at the end. Bad zebras

This game should have been the damn SB. Game for the ages.

Lol what. Baby goat was destroyer of worlds after the 1st Q. Just like I thought in my post you quoted lol.

Watching Brady today isn't fair: 3 probowl linemen, Evans, Gio, gronk...... He did have time today for stretches and ate them up. Same in the running game too. Now Winston back there, that team isn't the same, but damn that oline makes him look good at times with a clean pocket.

So telling me the best 2 defensive teams rock the socks off the offensively challenged teams in the playoffs, shocking......... Bills and Bucs have silly good D. And helps both put on a clinic in offense. One has the goat, other team was out for blood. Thinking kc is gonna destroy the Steelers same way. It's down to the other 2 games to give us another good game like the raiders and Bengals.
