I need an OT to be 6’11” 425 lbs, 12” hands, 40” arms, sub 4.5 40 time, 60 bench reps, 6.3 3 cone drill, chainsaws for hands, 46” vertical, 12’6” broad jump, injuries turned off, 50 Wonderlic score.

Yeah the chainsaws for arms and injuries turned off is a must have for any OT. Also he should be a direct relation no more than once removed from Godzilla.

The Panthers have been in the league 27 seasons? We have had one legitimate LT in our entire existence. If Cross is there, you take him. Jake friggin Delhomme took us to the Super Bowl, he had a roided up o-line but a good o-line makes a decent QB into a great QB. Not extraordinary, just great

Cross is my #1 OT this year, so I'd love this pick. I do think we'd take Neal or Ekwonu over him if either are there at our pick, though. I just think Cross is the best pass protector in this class.

That said, we certainly could opt for a QB. The thing there is if we pick Willis it still won't help us much this year at QB, so we'd still be in the market for a veteran QB or stuck with Darnold.

Can you even imagine how the fan base will be clamoring for Willis if Darnold is the starter to begin the year? My lord.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
