I know some of you have asked me my opinion on my top QBs in this class, and I just had an article with my thoughts on it published on Catcrave. Feel free to ask any follow up questions and I will answer best I can. I have watched a lot of tape on these guys this year 🙂

Willis is fools gold.  If he couldnt elevate Liberty and he is pretty bad against better comp then whats the point?  Quincy Avery says he has worked with a private qb coach since 9th grade and he still has these incredible bad habits I just dont see NFL coaches raising his level of play.  The throwing off the back foot, trying to muscle throws, simply taking off needlessly in the pocket are just bad habits that will be astronomically hard to coach out of him.  Then you get to his size, where like it or not could be an issue.

 

If, If we decide to go qb at 6 (and I pray to buddha we dont) then it has to be Pickett since he can start from day one.

Fair top-4.  I'd have Coan or Strong over Ridder.

My critique would be that I find the comparisons rather odd but overall, very nice write-ups.

Willis-Murray? 

Pickett-Goff? 

Corral-Tua?? 

Not seeing any of those honestly.

I tried to stray away from the typical comparisons they have been getting. It really is harder to compare these QBs to others, especially Willis.

I know everybody loves the guys with the crazy physical tools. And every year I hear people say things like "oh, we can teach them the other stuff".

And likewise, every year I watch some team realize it's not working.

People have been predicting the physical style quarterbacks were going to "change the league" ever since Michael Vick. It still hasn't happened, and barring some major rule changes I don't believe it's going to.

Give me an accurate passer with intelligence and the ability to process quickly every time. If they also have physical tools that's cool but you don't really need those to win.

So Pickett?

Yeah, appreciated. 

I will say there is a smoothness to Corral's game that is like Tua's.  When they're out of pocket, they have a similar feel.  I don't think Matt will be as shy as Tua has been though.  Can see him showing a bit more grit early on for the aggressive throws.

I see a bit of Kordell Stewart in Malik if he can get the passing game down a bit more.  

Pickett? Kyle Orton all day.

Uh oh. That's how you end up with Teddy Bridgewater.

I'm just giving the profile. Individual abilities still vary.

Tom Brady and Tim Couch technically have the same playing style but one is just a little better player than the other.

I don't want a quarterback in this draft.

That's debatable really.  Every QB is not going to be Michael Vick or Cam Newton or Josh Allen, because there just aren't that many of those guys.  Freakish athletes that are good enough to play QB in the NFL.

But I don't know.  Its hard to say the game hasn't changed because of QBs like Michael Vick.  Does every QB possess incredible rushing ability with a cannon arm?  Of course not.  But QBs are much more athletic and quicker than they were years and years ago.  Now its basically expected that your QB has some agility and escape-ability or else they are worthless.  Drew Bledsoe would be killed in today's league.

Look at who wins in the playoffs on an annual basis.

Intelligence is important. Passing accuracy is vital. Processing speed is crucial.

Arm strength is negotiable. Running ability is nice to have but basic pocket mobility is all you really need.

I don't disagree with any of that.  But I do think QBs like Michael Vick have changed the league because they change how kids play the game.  They see a pro QB do all the things that Vick or Cam did on TV and they want to play like them.

Maybe they're not winning the Super Bowl year in and year out, but I think it has had a long term effect on the overall play of the QB position in the league.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
