I mean if you look at any draft evaluator anywhere nobody hits 100%. He's no less creditable than anyone else. Coming out of highschool Clausen was the number 1 player period. I guess everyone was wrong on him.

Kiper's statement was leading up to Clausen being drafted into the NFL, not coming out of high school. It's one thing to not "hit" on a particular evaluation. It's another to stake one's career as an NFL draft analyst on the success of a player.

Clausen wasn't even good enough to become a career journeyman/backup. If it wasn't for this being a Panther website that I frequent I would have forgotten all about him...like the rest of the NFL fans already have.

Nobody had Lamar jackson high. Everyone saw him as a play wr guy. 

I'm not sure why you're taking up for Mel so ardently here, but his track record of predicting QB success is spotty enough to make me take his lists with a grain of salt. Not to mention his mock drafts are typically blown up after the 2nd pick.

Because most people are illogical. I think it's hard being the first to really start doing this and remain relevant. People want a mock draft where you can't predict who will trade and what people are talking about behind closed doors non the less know how teams rank certain players... it's impossible. Not to mention your doing a mock based just on where teams are at and are picking. 

Espn tell you do a mock draft no trades. One trade blows up the whole mock. It's like predicting a perfect March madness bracket. Nearly impossible

BTW, I'm not saying Kiper's evaluation on 2022 QBs is wrong. I'm just saying his track record would indicate it likely is.

It is very difficult. And somehow he has managed to maintain an interest and intrigue into what he has to say, so kudos to him for that. I just don't set my clocks by what he says, ya feel?

"If Jimmy Clausen is not a successful quarterback in the NFL, I'm done. That's it. I'm out." -Mel Kiper, 2010

He has no credibility on QBs.

He never had much credibility, he was just the first draft guy that existed on the draft network, so he became a name. 

Way more people with way more credibility than he has now. People with actual football background.

Would anyone be down with just, like, typing, posting “Gardner Minshew” from time to time? Just like wherever, whenever you feel it, just get it out there for the panther gods more often. Or even just thinking about him in your head when you have time. Good for the soul. Good karma. #raisegardnerminshewawareness

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
