That is absolutely not true. Google the one scouting report that exists for him from college. His one attribute was arm strength lol

Maybe old man AZ Warner.   

Mac Jones arm is more Chad Pennington than Kurt Warner IMO.

I can only assume many here weren't following the NFL in the decade of 2000 becuase it was commonly said that Warner was great with anticipation and accuracy vs arm strength.

From his own GM

Quote

 

Keim remembers such a quarterback he once had with the Cardinals. His name was Kurt Warner, whose career also earned him a spot in Canton, Ohio.

“Kurt didn’t have the biggest arm, he didn’t always throw the tightest spiral,” the GM said. “But he had this rare anticipation and that made up for all those things.”

After a full season of watching what we had behind center last year I just want to see a quarterback capable and willing to move the ball. In that aspect particularly when it counts.

All that matters is if he can help the team. Draft talk is hindered greatly by petty bias revolving around whichever college a prospect played for. This franchise is not at all in a position to be very picky. The uphill battle for regaining competitiveness within the division is one that will take time no matter which route we decide to take at quarterback. Make sure we get the right football player and leave all the other nonsense at the door.

Am I misremembering all those bombs to Holt and Bruce?

Or all those deep outs?

Brees can’t scramble but I don’t think I would call him immobile. His pocket movement has always been incredible.

The same with Jones. They compare actually favorably and some folks think New Orleans may move up if they can't land Wilson.

I wasn't referring to just this season.  Alabama usually has more talent than any team they face, regardless of the season. Its always more difficult to assess their ability to play in the NFL.  Of course, because they get so much talent, they get more players in the NFL.  Which is why I would never want to be an NFL scout.  

I understand the quandary for sure!

Warner didn't take a snap until 27 basically. As a Ram he had a great arm, and the lone scouting report of him gave him top grades for his arm strength. Whether or not his arm strength was elite it was above average.

It's not just mobility though. It's also arm strength. If he had a cannon of an arm he'd still be considered a top prospect even with serious mobility concerns.

Brees has never had a cannon of an arm. Neither has Brady. Neither did Montana.

38 year old Super Bowl/Cardinal Warner might not of had a cannon.  

Greatest Show on Turf Warner most definitely did not have a Chad Pennington arm.

I don't understand why people try to compare Brady in college to any modern prospect.  There's no point.  Part of Brady's story, as we all know, is the pact he made with the devil after the NFL draft to go from a seemingly mediocre college QB to a God among NFL players.

👹 "You weren't suppose to tell anyone about that!"

    • I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans. 
    • Someone has to bare witness to what happens. It's hard to complain if you don't sit through it all. 
    • I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....
