I give up in hoping for any QB. Each day i read something that makes me like Fields, Lance or even Jones being supposedly pro ready but then i read something that throws up a red flag. God im glad I dont have to make this decision. Chances are some of the 5 or 6 first QB's taken are going to be huge busts and cause some to lose some jobs. Im going to just sit back and root for whoever we decide to take hoping they dont turn out to be one of the huge busts. Whoever we pick obviously some will hate and crap on for years while others will support no matter what so it will be just like years past and feel like home either way.

I compare Fields and lance to chocolate and raisin cookies. One is gonna be a sweet chocolate one and the others gonna be a nasty raisin one. You have to chose which one is the chocolate and who's the raisin. While Mac jones is the healthy bland tasting salad and Lawrence and Wilson are the expensive desserts you can't afford.   

I'm not sure I trust your opinion on cookies.

The two big concerns I'd have with Lawrence if we were in the game for him are:

a) that offence is gimmicky as poo. So much of it is based off screens, misdirection and RPO with superior athletes.

b) his inconsistent ball placement when throwing downfield. 

That stat right there backs up a). 

 

I think this way:  "Trevor could be great, but everyone is treating him like the next great thing.  He has some flaws that could be problematic at the next level.  He could bust.  I hope we are having tacos tonight. Where are my meds?"

It means nothing if the QBs also have arms and have shown deep ball skills. Teddy showed us that he preferred to check down and couldn’t throw a consistently good deep ball.

Yeah I agree with this. This is one of those stats that needs human analysis to draw any conclusions. Herbert threw screens and check downs because Oregon had no NFL talent at WR or TE and one of the greatest screen game LT's you will ever see in Sewell.

Teddy had an above average WR corp but threw check downs because he doesnt trust his arm and being a gun slinger isnt his mentality.

Yep, we witnessed it time and again in 2020.  When the game is on the line Teddy defaults to the safe play, taking what a defense will give him, rather than attempting a higher risk game winning play.  TB is the anti-clutch QB.

that's why Teddy is so infuriating.  he has the ability to do so much more than he does, as he regularly shows early in games and often between the 20s.  but he just seems unable to trust himself, or the players around him, or the coaches, or whatever... he can't get it done.

Teddy isn't terrible because he's bad at QB, he's terrible as an option for us because he is anti-clutch, and if you want to win in the NFL, you need to be clutch.

Clemson is known under Elliott as a heavy RPO scheme. Brady learned under one of the notable names associated with the concept in Joe Moorehead. He's one of the higher profile faces of the RPO now and was hired at LSU specifically for it.

This seems a result of the OC and play calling then anything. If your OC is a prominent proponent of the RPO then you it might behoove you to look at QBs with a proficiency and experience with it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
