Tony Pike


rey2009

Recommended Posts

Im starting to warm up to Tony Pike in Carolina.

6'6 225 (with the ability to get stronger in the NFL)

Very accurate QB

Throws a very catchable ball

Able to make quick reads

Very good touch on his passes

Pretty good pocket presence

Very good mobility for someone his size

Able to throw on the run to either side

Able to make all the NFL throws

Only knocks I can see on Pike:

Had some injuries

Doesn't play in a pro style offense (most QB's in college dont anymore)

Doesnt have the strongest arm*

*Few thing I want to say about arm strength

Its correctable with good coaching and hard work

Its pretty overrated (except for maybe the 15 yard out)

Let Tony Pike work with a NFL QB coach and he will improve his footwork and tighten up his release, which will make him even more effective.

Last I checked, Tom Brady didnt have the strongest arm coming out of college but he improved his mechanics and got stronger, which improved his arm strength and now he is a very good deep ball thrower.

I know I think Tony Pike could be a 2 round you know

Yes, I know who he is. I was referring to a few posts up about his lack of arm strength. I'd take a guy with medium range with more accuracy any day.

that + arm strength is something you can improve a LOT easier than accuracy. a lot of mock drafts(yes I know still early) I've seen have Carolina taking Pike in the 2nd round. I think at WORST we can make a trade for a mid 20's 1st rounder to grab him, he's definitely an option for us.

What's wrong with his age? He's 23 and will be 24 for the '10 NFL season.

That's not exactly old. We're not looking at Chris Weinke here.

24..Its not old..And i dont think it will hurt his stock..I have seen places that say he is 24 now and will be 25.just checked I guess that place i was looking at is wrong.

but the fact his backup came in and played so well will hurt his stock..IMO

    • There probably isn’t an orthopedic surgery that has had more improvement in technique and outcomes over the last two decades than the acl repair. Because of its importance in pro sports and the sheer number that surgeons do there have been lots of opportunities to practice 1. Better techniques - arthroscopic v open surgery means people heal faster  2. More training - all sports med surgeons have tons of experience doing them 3. better imaging - later generations of mri are more sensitive  4. better therapy - PTs have gotten better at rehabbing them and the theories of rehab have improved a lot. No idea about brooks in particular tho, but I’d describe that overall situation as “not great”
    • If Freeling or either of the Utah OTs dropped to 19 I'd be more than happy honestly. Our OT situation isn't great with an aging Moton at RT and a mess of a situation at LT if Walker goes down at any point in time.  What I'm expecting the Panthers to do is probably draft another weapon like Sadiq or KC Conception. That's been their track record in drafting R1 thus far. None of the defensive talent projected to be around 19 stands out to me. Unless they just want to draft a LB early (Rodriguez,  CJ Allen, Anthony Hill, Jake Gollday).
