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

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
