So as we went through the process, we really kind of were drawn to him. There were a lot of quarterbacks that year, but he was like the one guy that had that ‘it’ factor to him. So we interviewed him at the senior bowl, and then the combine we kind of stayed away from him. We knew we were going to go down that road. And we just kind of played it really quiet with him and we took him. 

 

 

This is telling.. If he's following the footprint, there's one guy they are doing this with, actually 2. Ridder and Strong. Both that could be hand in the second or the third if they trade up.

Howell too.  They saw him play in BOA a time or two-Rhule was on the sideline (I think).  Think about it--howell and Wilson have many of the same skills.   He is not mentioning Howell, and if we trade back say, 10 spots, we could be starting to get into Cassel, Howell, Ridder, Strong range.

 Totally forgot about Howell.

I think this is great insight into how Fitt thinks. His evaluation of Wilson is pretty telling. The physical qualities don't always matter that much compared to the intangibles. I remember watching John Gruden's QB camp on ESPN for the upcoming QBs in the draft and Wilson stood out a lot. He was smart and had the "it" factor.

My take is that they have their selection for LT and QB narrowed down. But the plan is to trade down to hopefully get both. But if they stay at 6 I would not be surprised if they don't take an edge rusher. The Huddler will implode killing a million hamsters. 

If they do manage to trade down I get the feeling it will be for Penning and Ridder or Howell.  The top 3 QB's will probably be gone before their next pick they trade down to and even if one is there I feel they would take Penning over him. Then they could get the QB with their next pick, either late 1st or 2nd round.  

I'm not buying what the team is selling with all this QB interest being displayed publicly.  Nope, I smell a rat.

      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.
