Joe Burrow was an elite prospect 6'4" big arm. Pickett couldn't have gone to LSU or Alabama. So right there...yeah

Pickett is 6'3" and some change and I don't think Burrows arm is any stronger than Picketts is.  Burrow is not known for having a cannon arm.  He can obviously make all the throws, and thats all you need, but he does not have young Cam or Josh Allen arm strength.

Burrow has plenty arm. I wasn't on the Burrow train either. If you remember that year I was on the Justin Herbert bandwagon, I had him way ahead of Burrow. He wasn't drafted as high but he did become OROY. The same metric I used for Herbert being my guy that year, Trask as the sleeper last year and Carson Strong this draft.

6'3" for me is just being able to get on the ride as a QB in the NFL. That's mainly because body types in the NFL change drastically from college that the difference between average and elite can be that one inch or a couple pounds + or -.

I prefer Malik over Pickett all day!!! Won't work for me... Why is everyone talking about Pickett. Malik is barely talked about and I think his talent succeeds Pickett in my opinion!

There has been plenty of talk about Malik. And I personally don’t like any QB from this class but I’d rather roll with them then Darnold again.

Uhhhhh yes?  Have you watched any tape on Pickett at all?  Dude had 4300 yards, 42 TDs and 7 picks last season.  In a good conference in the ACC.  Personally I think hes got a very high ceiling.  Hes got a pretty damn good arm, is very mobile in the pocket and scrambling, throws with good accuracy and anticipation.  Has a really good deep ball.  Hes definitely been growing on me the more I watch him.

Western Michigan, New Hampshire, and Georgia Tech. Stacked up those gaudy numbers and an L.

Came crashing back down to Earth the following week against Virginia Tech.

Throw Duke in there and the L to Miami... you have your answer to why he had the numbers he did.

1 Game winning drive in the last 2 years.

Sounds like a winner in the NFL if you give him one of the best defenses and a schedule full of Lions and Jaguars games. Then he can sit out of the playoffs since he stacked up those meaningless numbers in the season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
