If we draft a QB, I want Carson Strong

It's not rocket science. A lot of people hate on Frank Garcia but something he always said is a lot of what my analysis comes down to, "bigger, stronger, faster" that's the difference between the NFL and college and that slim margin needed to succeed in that environment.

A guy that had just come out of the NFL came over the house. Massive dude. We asked him why he left. He shook his head and said "All those guys are extraordinarily tough".

No a poster here on this site posted the link a couple weeks back, I read that and another report that said the same. High second round is a pretty high pick. Somebody was paying attention. I told you he'd be somebody.

Who was high second round? Trask was the last pick of the second round.

Ok. Second round. Not third. He's an NFL second rounder.

The gotcha game doesn't evade the truth.

You guys are a good laugh. 

Ike Taylor thinks he should be QB2. Look how Ikes eyes light up when he talks about Carson. It's not just me. Ike said Carson Strong isn't just a steal he's a "I told you so".

Everything I've said has a stat or a story to back it up. Insane is lusting after Kenny Pickett or hoping Willis "becomes".

You guys. Lol

I think Willis has a better chance of "becoming" elite than Strong. Your guy is the equivalent of J.J Reddick or Adam Morrison being a factor in the NBA. He simply didn't have any elite traits. There isn't anything he really does better than most players in the league. I admire your outside the box picks but come on bro...

Willis is that freak athlete that has all the parts in the box that need assembly.. your guy is missing parts and doesn't even come with instructions. Day 1 Willis would be a top 4 rushing threat at the position and you can scheme around that. Open throws that wouldn't be there dictate to the defense how to play you. Strong doesn't have that floor. Day 1 Willis has a top 10 arm. He can threaten any part of the field...Strong doesn't have that.

Willis I believe scored the highest wonderlic in this qb class so saying he isn't smart enough or can't process or learn to get better isn't going to hold up here. During the Senior bowl accuracy test Willis hit the mark more times than any of these guys so beting against him based on college offense or coordinators doesn't really hold weight. This is why scouts scout traits instead of going and looking at the box scores and saying hey thus guy completed 70% of his passes he's  the number 1 pick.

Willis isn't a freak athlete

Don't want my QB running anymore. Love Cam but he was career 59%. Sometimes putting the cart before the horse as far as letting your highest investment prance around the field while learning how to read NFL defenses and call plays at the LOS can be costly.

Carson had autonomy over the whole system in real time. He's NFL ready in that respect, plug and play. I've seen him change plays at the line into another look and drop a pure dime many times now.

You should believe Ike Taylor like I do. I'll one up him and say he should be QB1 in this draft.

Strong 2022!

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
