"Raw." "High ceiling." I heard the same things being said about RGIII. Not encouraging. Especially with our track record of "developing" and protecting QBs.

Who knows how RG3 may have ended up had Shanahan not left him out there on one leg to get his knee obliterated.

Interesting his name comes up. The more recent ones are Mahomes and Allen, but I agree we not the best equipped to develop/mold a young QB.

At this point I've seen Willis compared to a dozen or more pro quarterbacks, and to a man they were all infinitely more successful against a higher level of competition than anything Willis saw.

Basically people just project whoever they want to see him as (regardless of whether there's any real validity to it).

Exactly.  He was transcendent his rookie year pre injury.  And I think Willis has a lot stronger arm than him....but other than that its a good comparison.

I don't think Willis is near the athlete RG3 was and RG3's arm was pretty damn good. I definitely wasn't making that comp. I think RG3 was a much better prospect. I'd be pounding the table for Willis if I thought RG3 was a good comp.

I remember that game well.  It was like Shanahan decided to leave him out there until the ambulance came and got him. 

While I am not for owners meddling, even I would have called down to the sidelines at some point and told Shanahan to either get RG3 off the field or I was coming down immediately to get him off the field.

If I remember right, it was the age-old excuse "he didn't tell me he was too hurt to continue."

This guy gives a refreshing take compared to the talking heads Kiper and Todd.  It's always at 6 the panthers take Pickett cause they really need a QB.  Then they will nonchalantly say "he's not worth a top ten pick" or the value is inflated because of past failures trying to address the position.  Fug.  It all sounds like they are saying "panthers suck" they will continue to suck cause Pickett is slightly above average but yeah let's talk about this other team for 8 minutes.

Charlie Campbell is still hearing Pickett at 6. He has an inside source and has called the last 4 picks correctly + also said the Panthers didn't like Slater last year before the draft despite looking for a LT

He is saying Rhule will convince them on Pickett because if he plays well it will save his job (I really hope this isn't the case)

      QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

      I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL.
