Kenny Pickett > Malik Willis (at least for us)

The age difference between these 2 is basically 1 year.  Malik will be 23 in May…Pickett 24 in June.  Not huge.  If the Panthers decide Pickett is ready and choose him they will be getting a guy that will be ready sooner.  I like Maliks upside much more but will support Pickett if he is the guy.  Can’t argue he did have a great season at Pitt last year

Really cooled on the others.  Especially at 6.  Like Howell but he has been pretty average in predraft activities

I honestly don’t see the point in drafting a QB who isn’t exactly what we want. If you’re just going to draft Pickett because he’s more ready, does he have more potential than a FA QB? Then, skip him. I’m not really big on Willis either. If we find an LT, I say we trade the pick for a later one and add another 1st round in 2023.

He's the most pro ready QB in this draft by a long shot. Check out his draft profile and scouting reports. Him with a new found potentially above average oline, a  good receiving group, and a respectable defense on the other side of the ball? Sign me up.

Malik Willis has an awesome arm but is much more of a developmental product. Pickett improved greatly from '20 to '21 and did it against much better competition than Willis. Do you trust us to develop him? Lol

Upside-wise its Willis by a wide margin. Either is worth the 6th overall by a wide margin too. But if you want a true top 12 NFL style QB, its Willis and its risky in the mid-second where the first QBs start being drafted. (by skills talents)

Rhule is in save his own hide mode... Willis isn't as day 1 save his job ready that's all

Saying Pickett could be McCorkle Jones or a poor man's Andy Dalton makes me wretch.

Get that remaining Elite LT in the draft at 6 or trade down. Malik appears to be more raw than Trey Lance so that makes me apprehensive about him. Pickett is at his ceiling now and that's with double bagging those doll hands!

How do you know that? He improved dramatically in one season. Maybe he has room for growth?

I don't like the idea of us trying to turn a one read passer in Willis into an NFL QB. He's so raw.

since QBs are hit or miss anyway, might as well miss on a guy that has a chance to become a weapon as opposed to a guy who could end up being "good" like a kirk cousins

 

you need an elite QB to win superbowls

 

Don't draft one that doesn't even have that possibility as his ceiling.

if you play it "safe" trying to draft a franchise QB that is such a waste

 

keep swinging for the fences until you land an elite one. 

 

or else just waste a bunch of time with a QB thats "aight" where you cant justify getting rid of him hut youl just be "aight" for a decade and never make it big

 

 

plus this franchise needs excitement. I went to a game this year and the energy in the stadium was absolutely pathetic

See the comment below your post. Pickett is has maxed out his potential and it took him 4 years to do it. He’ll prob be a career backup

    • Just chasing targets is a fools game. Chase averaged 85 yrds and .76 TDs per game his first year and 87.16 yrds, and .75 TD's per game his second year. Statistically the same. NOT an improvement. Puka saw no increase either. Yes, Waddle's went down because he had to share targets with another receiver - just like TMac will have to share targets with Coker next year so you have actually just made my point concerning Coker. Olave saw an increase in targets but Carr replaced Dalton and even with the increase in targets, his production was pretty flat (83 extra yards and 1 more TD for the entire year). And Wilson's number did increase but the Jets replaced the other two receivers and their contribution was significantly down from Davis's and Moore's. Again, nothing in those numbers should lead anyone to believe there will be a big leap for Tmac next year.       
    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
