I get his stats look nice. But Ohio St. QBs just don't get it done. Rather take a long look at Levis. 

At 6'6 Levis is certainly not a yard gnome that will constantly have balls batted down.

Of Stroud or Levis? I watched plenty of Fields games. He looked great in college too. 

Tell me you watch Football without knowing what you're looking at without telling me you watch football without knowing what you're looking at.

Fields looked horrific on intangibles where it mattered. Shroud looks like a fuging cyborg made in a lab.

Stroud looks great but OSU QBs just have such a problem.  It's too often to not give pause.  

I really wish Young was tall haha.  I love everything else about that kid.

Levis has streaks where he looks pretty bleh

Cam Ward and Grayson McCall are the other two that could rise, probably not to Young and Stroud status though.

Not sold on Stroud.. but if we have to draft a QB this year... please make it him.

Stroud doesn't have it.  I watched one game where the announcers praised him for "doing what it takes" to pull out wins sometimes.  But why is he having to "pull out wins" when he has the talent advantage?  Guys who aren't good enough to play at OSU still go on to become 1st round draft picks at other schools.  That's how loaded they are.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
