gunslinger to me he takes chances and that is exactly the type of player he is

Gunslingers using have strong arms and will force some throws and throw some picks. You live and die by their arms. I always thing of Favre when I hear gunslinger. Usually strong arms that can let it rip on a moments notice. Burrow is a film room junky who will be the hardest working player on the team. (Just my opinion when I hear the word).

Trey Lance is a better prospect than Pickett. Nobody is trading the farm for Pickett or I’ll be shocked if they do.  I’d say willis and Trey are similar prospects except Trey is more prototype size at 6’4” 225lbs while Willis is 6 foot 220lbs. Both have accuracy issues but big arms and are mobile. Trey is more of a bruiser while Willis is more shifty. I don’t see anyone trading the farm for Willis because of his size. 

Even though Lance was raw and less experienced overall, he had experience in a pro-style offense and repeatedly flashed on his way to winning a championship. Willis is simply way more raw than Lance was, and that's the biggest difference as to why no one is going to divvy an equal amount of picks for Willis.

The top 15 QBs are much closer than the media positions it for their big boards. The only QBs worth getting in this draft are Aqeel Glass, Jack Coan, and Kaleb Eleby. So, why spend the 6th pick on a QB. Huge waste of draft capital. These QBs are late round 2 to 5th round talent. None of the QBs are capable of producing at a 1st round expectation out of the gate. Less risk and bigger reward with Glass and Coan.

This type of thinking is how you end up like the Jets.  “Ah yeah let’s just toss a pick out for Sam Darnold”.  Then a couple years later, you have the same absolute poo team, but you’re somehow able to swindle a historically bad head coach into a trade for him.  Tossing fuging darts blindly at draft picks is how you ruin franchises.  

Nope. You become the Jets by consistently missing.

You have to keep taking shots. If you sell yourself on a guy just because you took him in the first round you can stagnate like New York, or Denver. You have to keep trying year after year until you find one. You can use the Cardinals as an example, or you can use the Panthers with Clausen and Cam in back to back years.

Pickett is actually an underrated scrambler who is one of the best at keeping his eyes downfield and throwing off the run.

Yeah, he scrambles really well, and can throw on the run really well. BUT, he doesn't climb the pocket, and often abandons it too early when he has good protection.

That’s fair, but that is definitely coachable and something he can improve on. It’s a pretty common issue for young QBs.

Do yourself a favor and see how many day 3 qbs there are starting in the NFL.  I'll wait...........

 

You could even take it a step further and research how many HBCU qbs there have been in the history of the NFL

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
