I'm not opposed to stacking this defense to help the rookie QB out. Short fields and low scores probably help a bunch.

I don't know why people keep saying AR would sit for a year or two. He wouldn't, he would be the day 1 starter unless he really stunk it up at camp, which I doubt. They would tailor an offensive game plan around him and go at it. IMO the question is would Reich or whoever likes Richardson be okay with opening up the offense and adjusting it as the season goes on to let his QB grow or looking for something a little more "traditional". If they draft him, they are doing so after being impressed with his whiteboard skills in their meeting and under the assumption he can get his footwork worked out through the spring and summer. Not necessarily scary ( to me ) with the coaches we are surrounding him with.

Weather or not you blindly sniffed Jake Delhommes jock strap was the greatest debate.

I think its a safe bet to say they like both Stroud and Young and it going to come down to the last week or so when Fitt and Reich have the conversation on who they think it should be. Which is awesome, they are taking their time and they have the pick of two great options. Maybe some AR thrown in there is Steven Smith and TD are to be believed.

Throw darts instead

I believe Evero has mentioned Chinn by name was speaking on makings your defense fit the player, so I would imagine that the role they have envisioned for him is not going to shoe horn him into a role he isn't suited for. It won't be "Now he is a 3-4 LB and here is the list of the 3-4 LBs job and he must do them all"

Richardson for the chaos.

As you guys said. Its time to put up the numbers now. Seemed like he came on a little at the tail end of the season when Darnold was playing pretty good. Seems to operate well mid/deep. Not a lot of YAC. Another interesting prospect is Preston Williams, I think an injury history but had a pretty good year in Miami I believe.

Screams of excitement

Cut Dalton, Sign Cam, Draft AR

about 50 minutes in and this is awesome. Getting some nice insight into Reich on a lot of fronts.

That's true. Apparently Bryce Young scored off the charts so....maybe a little relevant to the Panthers.

You know I used to think that too but there might be something to him : https://theathletic.com/4226466/2023/02/24/nfl-quarterbacks-s2-cognition-test/ He also has that "it" factor. Cool under pressure, get his teammates to rally. I hope he can recover from the injury.

Cool, never thought about it like that. Makes sense. I figured guard was the easiest to play so it would translate.

I thought he played pretty well at center, but he has no versatility, ass as a guard ( which is weird to me ). I'd imagine they are looking at Mayes and possibly a FA/draft pick to be backup center and guard.

Probably the best place for him to land. If Prudy doesn't recover he could win the starting job. He finally has real NFL coaching, its crazy.

I will not be shocked or mad if they take AR15 #1. They have the teachers to do it. If they believe he has the work ethic and attitude to hone his fundamentals and he shows he can process on the whiteboard.

I listened yesterday, it was good to just listen to them cut it up. Someone already mentioned the Shula thing. They also talk about Ron and Harper says during our losing streak if it was Sean Payton someone would have been cut but Ron worked different and it worked out in the end.

You send our fastest staffer to run the card to the podium if he is there at 9.

Not too mad, mainly because I don't think they have a good head coach down there.

If I remember correctly Tepper didn't want to pay a fully guaranteed contract when it came down to Watson ( smart ), so I doubt we will be looking here.

I wouldn't be surprised if we were one of them. It such a glaring hole and if all the hype right now is to be believed both Young and Stroud are legit.

Don't know much about him really so I'll pose the question to someone who may : Hooker or Corral? I assume Hooker is being looked at as a 2nd-3rd round pick. Not that I am against taking him if they think he can play, just curious.

I think the general story is he was in place to have an amazing year and just kind of fell flat. His team sucks but there were expectations on him to play above the level of his team and he seemed to regress to their level instead.
