The thing is you get a guy like that and give him a QB guru and the possibilities are endless. I mean Burrow adjusted his throwing motion and increased his velocity this offseason. Imagine what that looks like for someone with that gifted of an arm already.

Give me a guy with the stuff you can't teach and we will work on the rest. In a league where everyone is the top 3% in the world I'm looking for the guy that's top 1% and use that to my advantage. I don't want a guy who is already at his ceiling and still wasn't the best in college. A good coach will let him do what he does best and then slowly incorporate the more completed stuff as he goes along and learns.

You absolutely can play Willis year one and get results by doing what he is already really special at. No other qb really in this draft can say that.

He absolutely becomes a top 5 rushing threat at the position... there won't be 5 qbs in the league you would rather have in a pocket breaking down or rpo situation. That makes him a freak on that alone.ik5pjn6et4sfc50gkxtj.thumb.jpg.d62c227d35fc70eb50801be598e9f099.jpglooking at his legs and lower base he looks  closer to saquon barkley than the typical quarterback. You aren't going to take him down easily with arm tackles.  He lead the league as qb with broken tackles. That's a freak. 

The fact he steps into the league with a top 10 arm is also freaky talent. Like putting all those factors alone together makes him a freak. And I haven't even spoken  ridiculous start and stop ability. The guy is a freak athlete at 6'0 230 pound. That's pretty big for a qb at 6'0.

Ok, I just have to see that against NFL talent since since most of his competition is now going to be his equal in weight and strength, no more future car salesmen.

He's going to have to rely on his QB side. NFL LBs, DEs, DTs are extraordinarily tough. 6'5" 250lb Cam took a beating but he was a true freak of nature.

It looked pretty much the same in the senior bowl. Those teams had future first round picks. Equal competition. He will still be faster than the average  defensive lineman and most linebackers who aren't freaks themselves. Corners are another matter tho.

Notice what you said. "I DONT Want my quaterback". That right there blinds you to the possibility of Willis or an other athletic passer. Regardless what you think about cams percentages that doesn't paint the full picture. Yeah 59% but what about the extra 700 yards on the ground and 10 rushing touchdowns? That won't show up in your passing statistic but make up for a few percentage numbers because how many 2nd and longs and 3rd and nothing is open and I picked up 10 on the ground. Cam was a sensational player.. if not for the pocket hit injury we easily talking HOF player as he is on the borderline right or right below as we speak.

Drew Brees or Cam?

I'm a huge Cam fan and I know that answer.

Trask got better and more accurate every year. He had much better career and better accuracy than Pickett.

Pickett is a better athlete but Trask is a better QB.

I honestly see very little to get excited about with Pickett when I watch him play. The measurables don't show up. The arm is average. He bails out of clean pockets too often. He just looked like a decently talented guy who had spent five years in the same system and took advantage of that experience advantage that will get spun around on him in the NFL where his talent level is average at the position. It's just not a recipe for success IMO.

I'm not against running QBs. I'd be ecstatic if Cam called and said he was coming back to dominate the NFCS with DJ,CMC etc.

He's not. Cam was basically Julius Peppers at QB a total package. All I'm saying is maybe now it's time to draft a Drew Brees, Payton Manning pocket passing gunslinger.

What I saw from Cams career is that even though you may be a good runner, their job is to teach you to be a pocket passer. More efficient, get those completions up. Stay on the football field.

Like Payton Manning coming in Carson is already reading defenses and changing plays at the LOS, throwing from the pocket, driving the ball down the field into the hands of running men. He's already advanced at what an NFL staff will be teaching him.

He's aggressive. He trusts his golden arm. Ike Taylor said he's the best back shoulder thrower in this draft. Ike also says Carson throws a bullet in between the hashes. Like I've said Strong should be QB2 in this weak, weak draft. Instead, a bunch of undersized throwers this year aside from Ritter and Strong.

Strong 2022!

Other than popularity I don't see much to suggest Mahommes and Allen were the best QBs last year.

Brady and Stafford seem to lead most every way of measuring that. They are certainly uo there but not the obvious choices looking objectively 

Brady and Stafford were also not in the top 10 list Verge posted so the statement

Quote

"Like I get the argument, but the top QBs (Allen/Mahomes) in the NFL didn't exactly have "blow you away" completion percentage in college."

would be equally true as

How man qbs are drew Brees and how many are cam? Two ones in a generation type guys. You can't take a water down guy and say he's drew Brees and you can't make another guy A 6'0 guy cam.

Ok, 45 seconds on the clock for the Superbowl. Who do you take? Cam or Drew?

You pay for that in the NFL. LBs get dinner plate eyes.

Are you making this a mobile qb vs pocket passser thing? Do you think carson strong is drew Brees? 

Tom and Drew are 67% completion regular season guys. The data would indicate that the answer is yes. With good luck and games played.

      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

      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.
