Fun little factoid when thinking about potential QB draft picks for the Panthers

I need to go back and look at Flacco, Ryan and maybe Sanchez to see what stood out for them.

Flacco was a pure raw talent with the perfect height, size, and mechanics. The slight on him was that it was going to take a while or a coaching miracle to get him ready quickly. Well, he took over an offense with a good tight end and a good running game, has been hiding behind a mammoth offensive line and hasn't been touched, and that coaching miracle? John Harbaugh and Cam Cameron.

Ryan had good mechanics, small size, and a good head on his shoulder. He has a very low ceiling however, and is basically a poor man's tom brady. He can run that little offense mularkey has put together, but as soon as Turner finally goes down, everything is going to fall apart real quick. He threw a TON of interceptions in college, and everyone is just waiting for him to fall back into form.

Sanchez's numbers are terrible, he's looked completely bewildered at times, should have about 5 more interceptions (luck), and has completed less than half of his passes. The only reason people are freaking out about him is because he went to USC and plays in New York.

on the way home from the Wake game the guys I was with mentioned Bradford.

First thing I said was name the last OU qb to start in the NFL. crickets

Big 12 doesnt produce qb's.

Unless you are a total football nerd or from Delaware(me) I doubt Flacco was on your radar.

Flacco was on my Radar, I got to see him play in person (FCS National Championship vs. ASU). I thought he was going to be a project. I didnt think he would find success this early. But it goes to show you, if you give almost any QB the right recipe of running game and defense. He can make things happen.

I think Sam Bradford is the real deal, but we won't be in a position to get him.

Let the shoulda, woulda, coulda's begin:

6. San Francisco 49ers: Sam Bradford*, QB, Oklahoma

(Pick acquired from Carolina) The 49ers whiffed on QB Alex Smith in '05 but take another chance on a QB with high pick, gambling that Bradford can be a durable NFL passer.

The other night on MNF they talked about Parcells formula for drafting a QB and his requirements were college graduate, more than 23 wins, 3 years as a starter (there may have been one or two more but can't recall). One who fit that was that LeFevour kid people talked about before this year. I haven't seen any of his games, has anyone else?

Or went to App State and saw them completely terrorize him for 4 quarters (me).

Truth is, most starting QBs in the NFL did not come from big programs. And other than Manning, none of the elite QBs in the NFL did either. Your argument about OU can be said for pretty much any team in the SEC as well. Doesn't make them bad conferences for QBs. Florida hasn't produced poo at the QB position in 20 years, and they're arguably the best program in the country.

Bradford and McCoy will be much better NFL QBs than either Snead (moron) or Clausen (soft).

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
