Greg Cosell: Todd Gurley "arguably the #1 prospect in this draft"

Charlie Campbell of Walter Football has Gurley as his #2 overall prospect behind Famous Jameis Winston, writing: "If I had to pick a player or two from this draft class who will have a Hall of Fame career or be among the best at their positions in the NFL, I would go with Gurley and Winston."

Now Greg Cosell of NFL Films, who has watched as much film as anybody, has written an article for Yahoo Shutdown Corner arguing: "Georgia’s Todd Gurley is clearly the best running back in this class, but I think he might be even more than that. I think you can make the argument that Gurley is the best prospect, at any position, in the draft...He's arguably the best prospect in this draft."

And if he falls to 25 get ready to see him in black, blue & silver. 

 

and then get used to seeing him more on the staionary bike than on the field.

 

fits the panther RB mold perfectly in that regard. overvalue an RB and watch him hurt and in street clothes on the sidelines talking about how he wished he could be out there on the field.

Assuming he is healthy, that's a legit argument to be made. Dude is amazing and has all the tools to be a HOFer.

 

Not that worried about his injury history tbh.

 

Yes you can get a RB to produce in the draft if you have the oline etc. Gurley seems to be one of those RBs who is going to beast DESPITE the oline. Strong runner and very hard to bring down. I have not seen any other RB in this draft demonstrate that.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.

      you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.

      Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
