ESPN has him as 6’2”. I think some sites are pulling in for from the hockey player Cam Ward who appears to be around 6’0” or 6’1”

I guess that would make sense.  He is 6'3 here.  https://247sports.com/player/cameron-ward-46080717/

 

He looks big in those clips.

Yeah he is put in a bad situation, no doubt. But I feel we’ve seen years of outstanding college QBs from Ohio State amount to nothing in the NFL. Their system is just so good and they are always surrounded by elite talent. Just makes me hesitant.

Bingo!  I said that about Fields and got the 3rd degree for it.

For me it's:

1. Will Levis

2. Bryce Young

3. C.J. Stroud

I don't trust Ohio State QBs in the NFL. I'd be happy with Young, but his size does concern me.

Levis is the best balance of traits/experience/potential in this class, IMO. Get him a good offensive coach who can put together a staff that will develop him and his ceiling is absurdly high.

You guys are still sleeping on McCall.  Dude ain't the biggest, fastest or strongest arm, but all he does is ball out and win.  Kid twisted his ankle last game early in the 3rd quarter last week and already had a full game worth of stats in.  Even though his team was winning comfortably and the backup QB was holding his own, he STILL was pleading his case to the HC to come back in and finish the game on a bum ankle.

I have nothing against him.  He checks most boxes.  The small school thing worries me a little and I don't think his arm as a strong as Young, Levis, and Ward, but arm strength obviously isn't everything...

My biggest worry is the offense that CCU runs.  They run the option to set up the pass.  After getting burned in the option game, their opponents roll more defenders in the box and McCall lights them up.  I mean, if we get rid of this staff and get a new one that embraces RPO concepts, that would play to McCalls strengths. Of course fewer and fewer of these college QBs are coming into the League as pure pocket passers anyway.

    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
    • I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
