As you may or may not noticed I didn't compare completion rates because in college it is very obscure.  How many drops and of course as you pointed out Allen didn't throw as much so a couple more drops here and there will definitely lower the rate..  I think you can see his accuracy now.   

Willis will not be so lucky.    He's a 6 foot running QB that will get destroyed in the NFL.  

Just read the man's draft profiles.  He had accuracy issues in college and was properly developed by Buffalo.  I don't think we are capable of developing Willis, but trying to say Josh Allen didn't have accuracy issues and the huge difference in completion percentage is from drops (because those Liberty WRs are SO much better than Wyoming's...) is made up garbage.

Weaknesses:

  • Has accuracy issues
  • Ball security
  • Decision-making needs to improve
  • Throws too many interceptions
  • Needs to improve ability to throw finesse throws
  • Struggled against better teams
  • Played at a low level of competition
  • Concerns about production and ability to be a clutch performer

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

RG3 had an amazing Rookie season and who knows where his career would be if Shanahan didnt fug him over.

Said it the entire time you don’t draft projects in the top 10 of the draft. Willis doesn’t need to be anywhere on the Panthers board at 6.

"Take nothing for gospel"

Probably the best take for the next 3 weeks

The thing with that take is that people can get away with saying whatever they want and say it was from a source. That's why I don't believe anyone that says they have a source, does not matter how high in the ladder they are in. Hell Schefter and Rappaport have been caught in lies and they are still 'insiders'. 

 

No hate for Ellis. Just saying in general. 

 

I think the one huddler that has been right most of the time than not has been Verge, and that's why I tend to believe her a lot more.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
