Kenny Pickett > Malik Willis (at least for us)

You want Pickett to take the top off the defense, and if he were good at that you'd see him go number one overall. He's is not good at that. He is Teddy 2.0 but with much better scrambling and throwing on the run imo. Teddy and Pickett will both move the ball down the field with their good medium and short passes. The thing is Teddy is now a backup. You have to do more.

Personal opinion but I think scouts think they can make Pickett into a mobile Matt Ryan.

Like I said, he goes through his progressions well. If a team can focus on getting him to read defenses correctly then you’ve checked a box. Additionally, if the accuracy from last year is what we can expect from Pickett in the future then you have a 68% completion percentage on your hand which is elite.

Bridgewater could be a good comparison but the thing that could make him a mobile Matt Ryan is that Pickett has much better velocity than Bridgewater and the touch he puts on passes is pretty damn good.

I think worst case scenario is Andy Dalton, the most likely scenario is probably Teddy Bridgewater (with more ball velocity) or Chad Pennington (a mobile version), and the best case scenario is a mobile Matt Ryan (if everything work out).

In order for Pickett to be a franchise QB he’ll need to read the defenses correctly, not just go through his progressions (I’m not worried about this), have elite accuracy to make up for his arm strength (I’m worried about this), and stop turning the ball over so much (I’m worried about this).

Teddy has a weird way of throwing which makes his passes a little slower and in that sense they look different, but their game looks the same to me.

No argument there, his deep ball is not great.

I haven't seen that problem while watching him. I've seen him hit his targets in the numbers while in stride over and over again at around 50 yds. He did it at his workout the other weekend and in his games repeatedly. He's the most accurate deep passer that I've watched in this draft.

He nearly hit a cameraman when he went deep against Tenn. When he misses deep it often will sail way too far.

    • Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
    • You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
    • Okay, who is coming. And how hard is it going to be to get tickets? I’m currently living in Germany a couple hours north of Munich. Happy to help facilitate a cheaper experience for help getting tickets lol.
