Stop with the tank for Trevor Bull(ish)!


top dawg

Recommended Posts

It's been said, but it's about time for its own thread! 

Trevor Lawrence is the next iteration of the next big thing in the minds of many. There are good reasons for that! Some quarterbacks just have the "it" factor. He is in the mold of what many an NFL fan's fantasy consists of when thinking of the perfect QB. He has size, pocket awareness and presence, arm talent for all throws, decent decision-making, and is all that and a bag of chips. I get it! Of the top quarterbacks, he is the safest, most surest pick! But, that doesn't mean that he'll be the best QB of the 2021 draft class.

There are other worthy quarterbacks in the class. And, believe it or not, when it's all said and done, they could end up the best QB in the class. 

Justin Fields looked pretty good last year. And Trey Lance is somewhat of a talented magnetic enigma. Both have less of a body of work than Lawrence, and seemingly a lot more to work on and prove, but they all have a lot to prove as it pertains to the pros. 

Sure, Joe Burrow has looked the part in his first couple of starts, and is showing plenty of promise. But Herbert looked pretty damned good yesterday also. Really good for a first start! Moreover, guys like one guy that recently signed almost a half billion dollar contract, and another Super Bowl winner who was apparently too short to be a first rounder, but now playing in a stadium named for a second-rate cable company, should make you think.

All that being said, at least wait until the Panthers effectively play themselves out of contention for one of the top quarterbacks before you commit to the crazy talk of tanking, because tanking isn't going to happen artificially; tanking was always going to happen naturally. With things going the way they are, we'll likely be in the position to get one of the top guys. I will be happy to take Lawrence, but I'm not going to be crying in the slightest if Lance is there for the taking! Pictures of flowing Fields aren't bad either.

Yeah, he definitely could prove to not be the best of the bunch in the NFL. But, I'd rather be sitting in the driver's seat to have our pick of the bunch. Honestly, if that turned out not to be Trevor, fine. But it better be a fuggin QB.

LOL I can see this board if we have the number 1 pick and choose Lance or Fields.  This place would blow up.

That would never happen.  Trevor Lawrence would have been the number 1 pick 2 years ago, last year and he will be the Number 1 pick this year.

An injury like Tua's (god forbid) could make that a harder decision for whatever team is making it.

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
