yet he stunk for 4 years at Pitt.  Had one good season in year 5 that happened to be in a down year for the ACC (which is still weak in a strong year). 

We are going to spend the #6 overall QB on a guy who is basically on par as a prospect overall as a Will Grier.  But Grier at least was drafted rightfully in the 3rd round.  Which is what would have happened to Pickett in a good draft class too. 

He was average for 4 years but was a Heisman finalist last season and was very good.  He isn't Will Grier but if you feel that way enjoy it.

So by ACC having a down year, you mean Clemson sucked? Because that was the only real difference. Well maybe besides Pitt and WF having an up year..

You and I have a dramatically different definition of stunk.

On top of the ACC power having an offense that made the Carolina Panther offense look good last season? Well...

the Coastal Division Pitt plays in was super weak last year.  Miami and UNC finished as top 25 teams the year prior.  Both stunk last year.   ND was part of the ACC the year prior too who finished top 5 with Clemson and they were removed from the equation.   

ACC was definately weaker Pickett's one good season than it was the season prior.

Adding ND to the ACC for ONE year due to covid doesn't help your cause. 

UNC and MIA are never consistent ACC contenders. They're usually pretty meh. They had down years. Pitt and wake forest had up years. So looks like a wash to me,in the overall ACC standing. 

Clemson is the only true contenders in the ACC. They were completely underwhelming. They were the only real difference in the conference.

yeah, so was Will Grier.  Will Grier was Heisman finalist and was very good his last season.  He actually had 2 very good seasons back to back(unlike Pickett).   Grier also played a tougher SOS in both his good seasons than Pickett did in his one. 

If Pickett was coming into the NFL last season or even Will Grier's seasons....no one would be talking about spending a 1st round pick on him.  And certainly not the #6 overall pick.

Who you play in a year is who you play in a year.   2021 was a super easy schedule vs teams Pitt played in 2020.  

ND joining certainly is relevant.  Pitt had to play them in 2020.   Didn't in 2021.  It's also relevant if UNC or Miami or Clemson were having good years or bad years.   If you are simply contrasting how weak or strong the ACC was from one year to another.

I don't want to draft Pickett, but calling him a 1-year wonder is a little disengenuous.

I went back and looked at the covid-filled 2020 season.  Pitt was 6-5, but he did not play in 2 of the losses.  2 of his losses were by 1 point to BC and NC State.  So he was a couple points away from an 8-1 record.

His only bad game was against Clemson, where he tossed 4 of his 9 ints.

Again, not interested in him - rather go with Darnold.  Just trying to be fair.  He didn't actually stink in 2020.  I did not look at 2017-2019.

he didn't stink.  But he wasn't good.   He had 1 good season in a 5 year career.

I'd characterize it as a couple good years, then a freakishly good year.

Again - not advocating for him.  I would much rather wait a year as the next class looks stacked.  But if Pickett is picked, I will remain positive and learn to live with it.

13 TDs, 9 INTs.  That was 2020 and 2019.

That’s a low bar for good season.

You could find many dudes that has good seasons with good stats and say “look they are the same”.  Pickett is more talented than Grier IMO.  If you don’t think so fine

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
