Yeah. I stumbled upon Trey Lance trying to watch some Jeremy Chinn tape.  That kid is really fun to watch. 

But seriously watch Mahomes college tape right before his.  Its Eerily similar.

And Lance was just a redshirt Freshman last year.

I know Wentz worked out, but there's still a risk in taking a small school QB. I'm still hoping we get a shot at Lawrence somehow.

Wake Forest Jamie Newman does absolutely nothing for me. Maybe the Georgia Jamie Newman will change that but I really don’t get the hype around this kid 

Stats we similar to Daniel Jones, but with rushing yards (less passing) and TDS. It’s tough to measure when you are with Wake Forrest or Duke and constantly playing teams with more talent in their roster. But he has great size and over 60% accuracy. You are right though. This season will show how good he can be. He should have a lot more talent around him this year.

Yes. But today.  That risk is no bigger than a big school proespect.  Scouts can see the tools and ability.  It doesn't matter the stats against competition.

 

You could say Burrow is a risk because he only had 1 big year starting.  Couldn't beat out QBs at Ohio State.  Didnt look good his first year at LSU.  And didnt blow up until Joe Brady came in who now is back in the NFL.

Tua even before injury could be justified as a risk.  Guy had a NFL OL and NFL WRs across the board.  He wont have that advantage in the pro's.

 

Point is, its hard enough to find a elite QB now a days.  But the small school vs big school doesnt matter.

Trying to project a QB to the next level of competition might be the toughest thing in scouting. There's just an infinite number of variables in play. It's why anyone talking about a QB prospect as "can't miss" or whatever other positive draft lingo you want to insert is quite frankly being an idiot.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
