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

Just being Honest if you just look at 2021 -2022 tape Kenny is Kurt Cousin solid..

It's when you look at the other 4 years you say oweeee!@

Yeah, I am not down on Pickett, I just think he has a ceiling that will keep him from ever being elite.

But, I also wasn't a big fan of Burrow so maybe he will be better than expected. Burrow had baby hands concerns too.

Care to tell us why? I definitely don't want him here at the crazy price they're talking about nor the creepy vibe he'll bring. I prefer the idea that we're a positive culture. 

Sure thing, proven commodity, seeing somebody beat the breaks off a slimy lawyer using the system as a tool of revenge for his pathetic friend of a franchise owner.

The massage thing is questionable but not the intentions of the Texans owner. The media has hitched itself foolishly like our coach to a proven mediocre QB, who aside from last season was a dud who needed five years to get drafted.

I've had enough of Fhule and his hometown hookups and his thirst for sub-par barely NFL talent including his lust for Pickett. If Matt Rhule endorsed it, it's gonna be trash. That's our Carolina experience with your boy Rhule. He's inept (10-23)and he loves him some Kenny Pickett. Red flag.

Since the lawyer not the "victims" started all of this and it's now been proven I'd be ok with getting the best FA option available to making a big draft mistake that will only prove to us more that Rhule is out of his league.

How many TD's

Almost as many as Dan Marino in his sophomore season.  

TD's are a great stat for a offense as a whole.  For a single player, they aren't as meaningful.  In addition to a qb who throws them, need a oline that protects, and a receiver that catches.  

Here is what I want out of a qb.  The ability to throw the ball accurately under pressure and make good decisions, especially when the game is on the line.  Other things like great arm strength, mobility, etc.. are good things to have, but this is the key to being a good NFL qb.  Everything else is less important.

Now were bringing up players from 40 years ago.. 

Nor like this isn't a new era of football or nothing..

Lol

Marino's is 60 years old lol

Just admit 13tds and 9ints isn't a good season no matter who your name is.

It’s not like Pickett’s year was a fluke. He was on the NFL’s scouts radar before this season. Got healthy, went to Manning’s school where he got some one on one with Peyton himself and put together one of the best ACC seasons we have seen by a QB. He broke Marino’s Pitt records and Watson’s ACC records. It wasn’t just a game or two where he played great, it was the whole season (ACC championship included). Then he goes to the Senior Bowl and plays a perfect game. Then he interviews, throws, and runs well at the combine. He really isn’t a bad QB prospect at all. His hands are .5 inches shorter than Burrow/Lamar etc with a double jointed thumb that points outward. The only negative I really see is I never really saw him play under a lot of pressure. I’m sure there is tape out there on it, just the games I watch he either had a nice pocket or had quick passes (which isn’t a bad thing).

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. 

Being introvert wasn’t the problem, the problem is people think it was.

Yeah he was on scouts mind as a 3rd or later round pick...

Yeah so an NFL QB. If you get drafted in the 3rd you were a solid college QB or have potential to be better. He came back, put in the time in the offseason  and got even better.

Will Grier did the same thing and still was a 3rd rounder.. If this was a better QB class Pickett would be looked at in the same way as Grier was..

By every analyst opinion the only reason these QB are being move up is position value and desperation... Also it clear to see teams in position to get a drafted QB are willing to bankrupt their team for a veteran option instead of the draft option..

I'll be interested to see where Pickett ends up and how he plays. Folks here hate him like it's their job. For sure this will be fun to revisit next year.

Yeah Grier wasn’t  the prospect Pickett is. Pickett is accurate with enough arm strength to make all the throws and the speed to extend plays while throwing off the run. The only negative to Pickett is his hands are .5 inches smaller than Burrow’s and he doesn’t have a Rodgers arm. His arm is still plenty good enough for the NFL and he is a first round talent. I think top 10 is a bit of an overreach but QBs get over-drafted every year. Grier aired it out in the Big 12 like every QB that plays in that conference. He had some tools but seemed to lack pocket awareness and had trouble reading defenses on the next level. He also isn’t very mobile.

I really don’t get the hate. I’d prefer a couple QBs to him, but I would be fine and excited if we drafted him. People are worrying about him fumbling with his hands, umm let’s not let our QB get blindside tackled enough for it to be an issue??

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

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

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
