It looks like Mac Jones ran a 4.91 out of High School. I think Tua runs a 4.90 and people didn’t really have an issue with his scrambling ability. He just never really had pressure so he didn’t have to run at Alabama. I’m interested to see how he does in Pro Days/individual workouts...

40 times aren't indicative on athleticism.  Just because Jones can accelerate and run in a straight line in a comparable time to other QBs doesn't mean he has the same sort of escapability, movement behind the line of scrimmage, or balance, functional strength, and arm talent to throw the ball effectively on the move that the really good ones have.

Stafford's trade was basically for a 1st and 3rd. That extra 1st was for the Lions to take Goff and his contract.

Well, I see this point because of the contract, but Goff's numbers in LA were more respectable than people realize (bad in 2020) for most of his time there---at his age, I think we are a bit premature in writing him off as a value only to the Rams for ridding him of the contract.  It was the only way it happened--I get that--but the Lions will probably start Goff.  The Lions are not looking at Goff as a worthless pile of debt--they will try to give him an opportunity, as they should.

For his career,

Career (2016-2020)

63.4% completion  (66%)

18,171 yards  (17,634)

107 TDs  (106)

55 Interceptions (40)

91.5 QB rating  (97.3)

In parentheses, I posted Prescott's numbers in Dallas--he was drafted in 2016 as well.  Prescott is waiting to be paid as a top QB, and he is not being questioned as the starter in Dallas.  Yet Goff's numbers are similar--and Dak's OL and running game was top drawer.  Goff is more than baggage to the Lions, but the Lions were smart to get a first rounder to take a quality starting QB who is only 26.  If Detroit protects him and gets him some weapons, it could really end up like the Hershel Walker trade that built the Cowboy's dynasty in the 90s.  Or he could be a bust and that was that.  Personally, I think the Lions raped the Rams and they thanked them for it.

We are going to draft one of five QBs, not four, and Jones could be the guy.  We are not leaving the first round without a QB---

I see us moving up with NYJ, Miami, or Cincinnati, depending on who we want.

We are going to be aggressive, and sitting on #8 is not aggressive.

If Stafford is drawing a starting QB, 2 firsts and a third, giving up a future first is not unreasonable.

I have to think that Stafford drew a 1st and a 3rd.

That other 1st was so the Lions would eat Goff's contract. It's really that bad.

IMO Goff is probably done. If he gets to actually start for Detroit I do not envision it going well. I think they are probably still looking for a QB.

The difference between Dak and Goff is coaching. Dak had jason garrett while goff has had mcvay.

It’s a pipe dream of getting Stafford or Watson , they don’t want to come to the panthers and I don’t blame them , they want big money and want to win they won’t find that here . 
 

we won’t be getting Lawrence , fields or Wilson which is a blessing in disguise because I don’t see any of them as great nfl players . That brings the question of tre lance ?!

tre lance will be good or really bad , screw that we can’t take a risk man , 

this brings us to Mac jones which we will be lucky if he’s still available when we pick because he will shoot up the boards after a solid senior bowl , he’s smart , he’s tall , accurate and has a good deep ball . Bro we need a pocket passer something better than jake , I’m sick of these short passers and mobile qbs they never win , the people that win are pocket passers and that’s Mac jones . 
 

tua went early because of his big games despite him having worse numbers than Mac jones and despite him being hurt , Mac bones is being underrated people why don’t you understand that ? 
 

oh but beer Mac jones has all the weapons? Yes he does but so did tua but was devonta smith the headman with that bummer tua no? Dude this guy is a good passer . 

What kind of meth are you smoking up there in south Archdale? Some of that Heisenberg? Sad that such a great account name produces such trash takes on here.

    • I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too! 
    • Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.
    • Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
