Nice pick.  I recall liking him as a late-round QB in 2019 or so.  He had a better JR year than SR year, but at Florida International, who knows what kind of support he had.

Yep. me as well.  I also recall having folks say taking a day 3 QB (I think I was targeting him in the 5th for us) was akin to throwing a draft pick in the toilet.  Of course some would say that about drafting a long snapper too...

The kid has a big arm from what I recall, he just went to a no name school with mixed results.  You can tweak a QBs game with good coaching, but you can't teach a big arm.

He is also tall and young--he should be our backup by midseason if there is a need for a backup at any time before then.

Sounds like Josh Allen….he has the coaching staff now, Jordan Palmer can train him with Sam and Josh in the off season.

    • Of course it's a crapshoot to find a truly elite QB. But we don't even need that to be competitive or successful. Our two best long term starters in 3 decades of existence were both flawed yet productive passers and each led us to a Super Bowl. Hell Jake Delhomme in the year where his arm went off a cliff and we had to start Matt Moore for a couple spells we had a superior passing offense than anything we've seen under Bryce Young the last 3 years. We're still trying to crack the top 25. All I'm saying is this is not the 2023 Panthers by any means. The cupboards are not bare. We are not working with scraps. We have invested through the nose to build up the roster and the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've also added multiple first and second day pass catchers in the draft. If a QB can't succeed here they are cooked.
    • That last line is the key. Passing game lives or dies off the running game. I struggle to see any help the passing has provided in return - there is no pass to op n up the run to speak of.  Add in that we have downgraded the run blocking at left tackle according to analysts,and I really don’t know what to expect from C….  It puts more load on th passing game to help out
