He was a true freshman and UNC had a TON of drops last year.

I keep hearing that but he didn't have a bunch of drops today. Like I said this offseason, he has some definite talent but I still question his ability to be an NFL guy. 

To be determined.

This would make me hesitant to make him our first pick for sure

Look, I have no clue if this kid is going to be good or not but one bad half coming off of a crazy preseason shouldnt move the needle one way or the other.  I didnt watch but in reading about him this morning most articles said he was rusty in the first, found his groove in the second and there were a lot of dropped balls.  I am not advocating for him one way or the other (would probably still take sewell if that was the choice) but to make a judgement based on one half is ludicrous

He probably is not ready for prime time, like Jeremy states.  And you are right as well.  Here is why I think Lance is a great prospect for us to target:

I was happy he showed some rust/rawness.  Teams taking him in the top 10 are looking for a messiah more than a QB.  He is not ready for that.  They need an instant starter.

We don't.  Bridgewater is not a superstar, but he is not our weakness either.  We can compete with him, especially if we upgrade the OL and get a good MLB on defense (to get the ball back).  If we like Lance, take him, and plan to start him in 2022 or even 2023. 

So his stock may have dropped--good.

I dont know what that means?  What is prime time?  A 330 game on espn plus that a fraction of the country can see.  Or a big game like going undefeated and shining in the championship game?  In regards to yesterday he probably was just rusty and forcing a lot more than he needed to do.   I read about 4 articles and they all were positive about him and yesterdays game so I am not worried if that is who we decide on.  I trust Bradys scouting

First of all I said hesitant, not that there was no way I would pick him.  There were already questions because he did what did vs inferior competition, now his 1 and only game he plays this year is a dud. At this point he looks like a project, and no one wants a project in the top 10.

An expression.  I explain it in my post---Ready to start in the NFL.  But in Carolina, he has 2 years to get ready.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
