Fields shits all over Lance 

I don't know how anyone can say that with surety! It seems a little disingenuous. Both have some issues, Lance's being that he likely just needs more reps! He's got all the intangibles and the highest ceiling in the class!

Why does he have the highest ceiling? Why wouldnt Zack Wilson? Why wouldnt Fields? Why not Lawrence?

Because of his arm strength m, running ability, physical makeup and decision making (including quick decision making). He also has the work ethic and leadership abilities that the others have (some might argue moreso). Read all the draft profiles. I'm not the first person that has said this!

Critical on the mechanics and the crew seems to agree. Harsh comparison too. 
 

if Fields runs a 4.2-4.3, you still taking Lance over Fields?

Fields can run a 4.5 and you should still pick him over Lance. 

Fields has the highest ceiling of every QB in the draft.   And was the most accurate passer and displayed the best legs over his college career.

I've read those same things for all of the QBs. Right now the draft is HYPE city for these qbs. I don't think there is any way anyone can say factually with certainty that Lance has the highest ceiling of the class.  If anything.... Lawrence has the highest ceiling of the group bc he has shown it year in and year out that he can play QB at an elite level.

 

The video is this thread is straight knocking Lance. Should I listen to them and tell you are wrong about Lance?

I am telling you all, when the dust settles, Jones is going to be sitting there---waiting to put on the black and blue hat and hug Roger.  I had a vision....

“I don’t think it would be a reach to get him at eight.

It’s hard to argue that there was a better quarterback in the country in 2020. Along with being a Heisman Trophy finalist, Jones led the country with 4,500 passing yards. He was also deadly accurate. He completed 77.4% of his passes, also No. 1 in the country, and was second in the country with 41 passing touchdowns with only four interceptions.

He did all of this in 13 games.

The Panthers will enter the draft already having some familiarity with Jones.

Jones, who is 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds, was a participant in the Senior Bowl last month, and practiced under the Panthers’ coaching staff. The Panthers staff got a chance to talk to Jones and see him up close and, apparently, Panthers coach Matt Rhule liked what he saw.

“He processes information quickly, highly intelligent, he’s an alpha,” Rhule told reporters. “He’s the first guy on the practice field, he’s the first guy in the runnings, so he’s got a lot of really, really, really strong traits.”

The general consensus among draft experts and scouts is that there are five quarterbacks worthy of a first-round selection. Jones is one of them.

This is hardly the only video on Lance. Orlovsky says a lot of things contrary and that go against the grain. 

Hey, I could be wrong, but I'm OK with that. Orlovsky could be wrong also, as can Daniel Jeremiah, Booky Brooks, Greg Cosell and others! People must decide for themselves!

im not confident in any QB past lawrence this year. This feels very 2011-ish for QBs

It could be 2011 or it could be 2004 or 1983. One thing I'd bet a lot of money on though is that all four won't workout. Somebody is going to bust. Maybe multiple somebodies. But you gotta trust your evaluations. Fear of drafting a bust is a terrible reason to not draft a QB.

Does anyone remember any of these footwork and mechanics questions when Carolina drafted Cam Newton?

Oh, and he's never changed any of it, although there were glimpses of a change after a few injuries, but he is basically the same mechanical QB the Panthers drafted. 

Lance isn't Newton.

Sometimes I think people forget just how special an athlete Cam Newton was.

I am not a scout, nor a gm. So nothing I say should be taken the way as if I was an employee of a professional football team. Im just sharing as a fan, this feels like overhype on meddling talent outside of the # 1 pick in the draft. It carries the same theme.

Then again, NFL each year turns into a more and more qb friendly league, and the air yards per throw are decreasing each year.... so maybe these kids will work out.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
