I can definitely see them both being very good NFL QBs but I've seen enough good prospects bust that I'm never gonna call a prospect's floor that high.

Let's not kid ourselves, their floors are a lot lower than that and I like them both

I want no part of Mac Jones, but unless he's a total dickhead that's pretty fuging shitty on their part IMO.

We know all we need to know based on Senior Bowl week practices. There's PLENTY of other Bama prospects that need scouting.

Put NFL DBs on the field and it'll look shockingly (and disappointingly) similar.

He was in college at the same time I was. Kentucky football was must watch TV. That dude would have defenders hanging off him like he was a human jungle gym and still be chucking the ball down the field. He was WAY faster than he had any right to be at that size too.

55 yards in the air and he had to wind up with all he had to manage that while the WR had to practically stop to wait for it. Yeah, that's pretty much what I saw from him this year in games.

They're not giving him big money if they weren't willing to toss the Steelers anything for him at $8?25M. I mean, even a conditional late rounder next year is better than nothing.

If no one was willing to trade anything for a starting CB due to make "only" $8.25M, he ain't getting big money.

Seems like we did this a lot under Gettleman. It worked really well early on. Considerably less well later in his tenure.

It's worth a phone call.

I mean, I do remember that time recently when we signed a "coveted" FA QB to a 3 year/$63M contract and signed a WR to a 2 year/$20 contract. I don't think we've even come close to that expenditure thus far this off-season.

Competition is a good thing. Looks like he also has pretty extensive special teams experience. That might be his avenue to making the team. If he can contribute as a reserve defender while also being a core special teamer that's good value. I want us to be over this crap of constantly carrying guys on the roster just so they can be a gunner on ST. Talking about the Karl Hanktons and Colin Joneses of Panthers lore.

Cool. He wasn't awful. Solid backup, marginal starter. I think this has zero impact on our draft plans.

It's because Teddy sucks at throwing the deep ball. It's almost always underthrown creating a contested catch situation even when the receiver was open.

Agreed. We'd be even more pissed at the former staff and even more aware that we essentially wasted the career of one of the most physically gifted QBs ever

I'm honestly not convinced we ever made a legit (or any) effort to actually help Cam's mechanics.

Yep. Cam was a one of a kind. His rushing TDs as a QB is one of those records that's going to be really tough for anyone to break. He has more rushing TDs than some HOF RBs.

I hope he plays well individually and helps lead the Falcons to a five win season the next two years.

It could be 2011 or it could be 2004 or 1983. One thing I'd bet a lot of money on though is that all four won't workout. Somebody is going to bust. Maybe multiple somebodies. But you gotta trust your evaluations. Fear of drafting a bust is a terrible reason to not draft a QB.

I think there's a very good chance that four QBs go before #8, but I'd still be shocked to see them be the first four picks. If Pitts is the BPA on our board when we're on the clock at #8, I hope we try to trade down.

Honestly, some footwork mechanics isn't a huge flaw. Kinda like how few WRs come into the league with a full route tree, few QBs come into the league with flawless mechanics that won't need some refining.

LOL Two Yard Teddy distorts his own stats plenty well enough.

Inspection came back good last week. A few minor things we had addressed. Appraisal came in $14k over contract price. It's gonna be a go. The mountain views are a bit different than my previous Colorado mountain views but still quite pleasant.

Challenge accepted. My entire D is gonna be within 10 yards of the LOS every snap
