lol look at his blockers (and I use the term loosely) chasing their guys from behind even on the brief highlight GIF. 

Everyone on that field is terrible. Willis is just the most physically gifted among them. He's an NFL caliber athlete playing against and with low level college talent. He's a man among boys. I could be wrong but I'll be shocked if it translates to the NFL and I definitely think you're setting the kid up to bust if you play him as a rookie.

He did good against VA Tech which I would imagine had superior athletes. I really like his maturity level and he seems humble. His arm is a strong NFL arm. I think he checks a lot of boxes if we can develop him right.

He checks a lot of boxes physically but hell, so does virtually everyone in 1st round consideration.

There’s no point to not tank and by tank I mean don’t make temporary 1 or 2 year deals meant to help you in 2022 only. Beating Washington in 2020 cost us getting SF’s three 1sts. Playing the AFC South (3-1, 2-10 against the others) in 2019 cost us Justin Herbert. I still get annoyed when people say draft slot doesn’t matter.

Whether Rhule will do it, who knows. If we lose Watson and go for Jimmy or Baker, we are just setting ourselves up for a few more 5-12 to 8-9 seasons.

A healthy CMC keeps this team out of the top 5 draft picks next year. That's part of the reason he has been sat when healthy at the end of the past two seasons IMO.

That dude is the Jake Delhomme of college football. Everybody wants to doubt him but when it's go time dudes a gamer.

He's not a good NFL prospect. Too small. Too many games where his numbers were propelled by short, safe completions. Same crap they did there with Tua. We better hope Stroud is legit or someone else emerges.

From what I’ve read he seems humble and is a hard worker. Give me that with those physical traits and it’s definitely worth a shot. I get the hesitation, I was also high on Trey Lance for similar reasons. You can’t coach/teach those physical traits and they both seem to have the intelligence and work ethic to be successful in this league. I would be ok with an OL as well, if there isn’t a QB we like.

I don't think he's an NFL prospect either but as a college QB? Yeah, the dude is underrated. I underrated him too. I thought he'd be the reason UGA ultimately came up short.

      Dane Brugler from The Athletic 2-round cock draft

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.

      Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?

      Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).
