Just for fun...let's say Kyler Murray is available at 16

Just for fun let's say everyone is way wrong about Kyler Murray's draft stock and he's available at pick 16. Should the Panthers draft him? Could you pass on a player like that? We've seen previously highly regarded QB's slip that far in the draft before, could it happen again?

lol no.  If all the QB hungry teams passed on him, I don't think we're going to be getting a diamond in the rough.

Hey who knows man, 23 other teams passed on Aaron Rodgers. Every team passed on Russell Wilson (who resembles Kyler Murray's playing style most). If it weren't for Wilson I doubt we'd even be talking about Murray as a 1st round pick.

I wanna preface this with - I have only really watched one full game of Kyler Murray's and that was against Alabama, and I have to say I wasn't that impressed.

How? They were a really good defensive team and he threw for 300 yards and rushed for 100 yards and had three total touchdowns. No turnovers either.

Let us know when you're ready to join us back here in reality.

You don't hire a gimmicky sub-.500 all offense failed college head coach if you're not going to give him the QB he wants. Period.

This experiment is destined for spectacular failure, but you never even gave it a chance if you don't draft Kyler Murray.

Yep - just went and looked at his stats.  Maybe the result was skewing my opinion

Understandable, only reason I remember it is because Bama was crushing them 28-0 early second before Oklahoma started going off on the Bama defense. By that point it was too late though.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
