Told Y'all


Recommended Posts

I told you all that Willis was more than overrated. I said that he was probably a 4th round talent being hyped beyond recognition based on the easy competition he feasted on. In general, I'm fine taking G5 QB's but they better perform when they play the big guys. Malik Willis was not that guy. He absolutely crumbled against both Ole Miss and Louisiana this past season and was one of the worst QB's when under pressure in all of college football, by passer rating.

We dodged a bullet. We got a guy that is, in a way, reminiscent of Drew Brees and his quick release and short to intermediate accuracy. His mobility is similar to Darnold but hopefully his head isn't filled with ghosts because our offensive line is about to finally allow us to possibly make a playoff run this season. 

I still want Grayson McCall in 2023. He is going to be a stud, BOOOOOK IT.

I never bought the hype. I was just waiting for us to make the move on Corral (as I suspected we would and hinted at all offseason). The only QB I thought had a possibility to wreck my thinking was Pickett (if the FO was desperate). Well...I got a wee bit concerned when I heard about thee Howell dinner, but I thought that they thought Corral wasn't going to be available. Willis was never the right fit.

It is official.  We have it on the books.  Poster named CPcavedweller on the carolinahuddle.com website did NOT like Malik Willis, and wants to remind others who visit the website.  He is also putting his unyielding support behind Grayson McCall to become a great QB.

Overrated as far as media perception vs how teams saw him? Yeah.

Overrated as an NFL player? That judgment is going to take a few years.

Additionally, another Huddle “hot take” favorite, Carson Strong, didn’t even get drafted. If I remember correctly, some wanted to trade down in the 1st and take him with that lower 1st round pick.

Well to be fair, I don't think anybody foresaw the massive drops all the quarterbacks made in this draft.

Kudos to Verge for correctly predicting Strong might go undrafted though...

    • Funny enough, those good games Rico had were when Canales finally put BC at RG. Once BC got hurt, our run game turned to crap again (outside of the GB outlier game)
    • When I say elite, I am talking Bowers and Tony Gonzalez type can't miss prospects. The ones that are the complete package (good athleticism, good blocking, knows how to position body for contested catches, able to run a complete route tree). I also wasn't big on Warren last year (although he at least had the college production) and wasn't sure on Loveland (didn't do enough research on him but was impressed with his route running). I just think TE is a luxury pick for us with how many positions we have that are void of talent. Now, if Sadiq is the best player (by a good margin) our front office thinks is available at 19, then I understand taking him. My worries with Sadiq is if he has to be used like a Pitts, Engram, etc. type TE where they get lined up in the slot because they can't block LBs or Dlinemen. And if that is what happens, it's pretty much like drafting an athletic tall receiver that isn't capable of running a complete route tree. And for how many freaks do we have... you do realize we drafted bum ass XL because we thought he was an athletic freak. Turns out that athleticism doesn't mean crap when you are dumb as rocks, can't run routes, and can't catch the ball...  I feel like we have been drafting guys that are displaying elite athleticism at the combine over college production (and I think that has shown why a lot of our drafts prior to last year have sucked)
    • He'll be out for 6-9 months at a minimum, possibly even 12 months and he'll never recover the explosion he once had - if he even comes back (I think it ends the career of like 20% of players that suffer it). If the research I did on the injury is correct (it was a while ago).
