Maybe I was wrong about KENNY PICKETT after reading these evaluations.

The difference with Herbet and Pickett is Herbet made throws and did things with the football that you only see elite level QBs do. The same thing applies to guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Those two guys were drafted high because many believed that with good coaching those amazing highlight throws could become regular occurrences. This ideology was a major factor in Justin Fields falling out of the top 10 last year.

KP was a really good college QB but there isn't enough there to make you think he is going to unlock some hidden potential or make the leap to becoming an elite NFL QB. Same goes for Justin Fields and Mac Jones. What you see is what you get. Good coaching may make them starting caliber QB's but if you are going to draft a guy in the top 10 you want someone who can hopefully become a game changer.

The bad thing is all the Watson talk has made me want Pickett at 6 as the lesser of 2 evils 

If only because he costs a single first and the team can move on much easier.

Frankly, the biggest red flag for me would be the staff's interest in him as a QB. Seems clear to this point that whatever this staff thinks they see in a QB, the reality is the opposite. Not even being dramatic here, as some people just have blind spots (Belichick and WRs as one example). Unfortunately, this one should have put Rhule out of a job by now but here we are.

I don’t care if we draft Pickett since when Rhule gets fired the new guy is gonna want his guy, especially if we are picking top 10 again…

Sure would be nice to have a decent lineman instead of a Rosen-esque QB situation though.

Doesn’t matter if he can’t read a defense. He might have more “talent” than Brady, but it’s meaningless… 

The QB who star at pro days are big bodied guys with cannon arms who can fling the ball all over the field.  Unfortunately those aren't actually the top qualities needed for a successful NFL QB.  The most important things are reading defenses & decision making.  That is only seen on film or with a whiteboard X's and O's talk.   So the whole college QB evaluation process seems kind of biased toward the wrong stuff.

Herbert was a talented QB with a strong arm. His problem coming out of college was that he is introvert and not a good leader. Kenny Pickett isn’t Herbert. If you want a QB that has the best chance to be a franchise QB, it’s Malik Willis. I’ll always go with the guy with the arm talent. 

So you would rather have Jamarcus Russel vs chad Pennington.  PJ WALKER over Tom Brady.  Drew Brees over Vick.  I’d rather have a smart accurate qb that makes good decisions

Agreed you need a little of both. Kirk Cousins is great at reading defenses, but lacks some ability that could really make defenses pay. But you are right reading a defense is more important than raw ability. These coaches get overexcited about raw ability because they think they can coach/develop them into reading the defense/the X’s and O’s and sometimes they can (see Allen), but more than not they can’t. Since you can’t coach/develop a QB into having raw ability like arm strength, speed etc they get caught up in the pure potential of these athletically gifted QBs.

What was Malik’s wonderlic score? 32. Who was the guy the media was raving about how smart he was at the combine? Malik Willis.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
