Now that Rhule has been let go: Time to Suck Proud for Stroud

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.

Doing what it takes?  They don't even let him scramble.  He just sits in the pocket and goes through his progressions with an accurate cannon for an arm.

I’m wary of all OSU QB’s. They look like world beaters in college and crash out in the NFL. I would honestly look in a different direction or trade down just a little bit to someone that falls in love with Stroud to recoup draft capital and take a different QB.

I hope you’re joking. Only position group that needs to be addressed is linebacker and overall team depth. We have a ton of young talented players. We NEED a quarterback to fulfill our true  potential. Heck based on our draft position we will be in line for early 2nd round pick, we could get the 1st or 2nd best off ball linebacker there for sure.

 

Panthers will be 4 years into rebuild QB is the ONLY call in a draft year where QB is supposed to be a strength

there's literally no other position group to build at this point, unless we're talking about piling up on kickers. We suck cause our QB situation sucks.

    • 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.
