I’m already tired of hearing about this kid

You ain't heard nothin' yet, brother.

Home town kid?

Existing hate for Cam by a significant portion of the Carolina fanbase?

Like I said, you ain't heard nothin' yet.

Norv does. I'm not convinced on Scott yet.

I bet he’ll be our HC at some point. Just have a feeling.

Haha oh yeah sure he's better than Murray. Right. I wish I didn't see this. 

[Mage]

Kyler Murray isn’t that good.

[j2sgam]

This kid’ll be better than DA was for us for years, nobody really had an issue with him in that role. We knew he couldn’t carry a season, but were confident he was decent navigating for a game or 2... 

know a few WVU fans, they said the kid’s solid... 

i don’t know enough to say one way or the other, just gonna wait & see what the kid does when his number’s called, hopefully it’s a positive result.......

That jibes with what Gantt said earlier today on the radio.

didn't hear that can you elaborate a bit?

Well Daniel Jones is ass and Kyler Murray belongs on the yellow brick road so that makes sense.

In all seriousness I watched Jones twice this year against two sub 100 defenses in UNC and WF and he looked like complete dog poo. His accuracy is down right atrocious and his only saving grace is that his pocket awareness is decent.

yeah it is going to be unbearable. Cam is going to have to hit 100% of his passes, go 16-0, and it might be enoughtto shut some of these folks up.

This actually horrifies me on their ability to scout quarterbacks more than anything. :/

[pantherclaw]

I'm excited to see him play.

Josh Parcells was asking Gantt for some hidden tidbits from the draft. The first one he threw out was that as far as potential quarterbacks, Grier was "the man" that the Panthers wanted. He was unequivocal about that.

Now you might figure that some of those guys are expected to be out of reach, but Drew Lock, for example, they definitely could have had.

Unfortunately this is true, I like grier but this statement along could make him a toxic pick the moment Cam messes up. 

It was time to get a backup who COULD takeover if need be but the good ole boys have been waiting for this to come.

If you're looking from a mix of intangibles, mechanics, and resume, (1) Lock (2) Haskins (3) Grier (4) Murray holds water for rankings.  Murray is a 5'11 college system QB.  I won't say he's an immediate bust but he's as big of a risk as Daniel Jones was IMO.  Haskins, Grier and Lock are able to produce just as much as either of those first 2 taken.  

Honestly, that kid from Auburn looks just as good as the crop.  I just think Grier has an edge to him along with Haskins.  Lock, Jones, Finley, etc. don't seem like anything more than a Gabbert or Hackenberg.

True dat and lol at all the credit he gets for Cam at #1. So, the QB you selected at pick 48 (and would have used a 1st if you had one) the year before was so bad that you got the #1 overall pick, but you somehow beat everyone to the top QB in the draft. Congratulations? 

Yea, all true except while many places mocked Cam to Carolina, he wasn't the top rated QB in the draft by a long shot for most of the draft process. Didn't show well at the combined, had a much better pro day.  Hell even a bunch of people on here didn't want him. 

 

On top of that, most draft experts thought that QB class was going to be horrible with no franchise players. So yea them vetting Cam and taking a chance on him deffinitely  deserves credit.
