HOPE And FACTS.. The last two times we finished dead last in the league, it worked out pretty well.

You must have not been around during draft time and pre draft in 2011. I remember it like it was yesterday, nearly EVERYONE and all the experts said that Cam was a HUGE risk and reach because he just ran a one read option at Auburn and it would take years for him to be NFL ready.

Mel Kiper and Mcshay were saying (no I’m not even joking) that we should draft Blaine Gabbert or Jake Locker over Cam because they were more pro ready day 1.

Stroud, Young and even Levis are way more NFL ready now then Cam was coming out of Auburn. 

That's the typical assessment of the black QB with running ability. "He's not NFL Ready". He comes from a "one read" option offense. And of course the sub-par white QBs on the title contender that has a plethora of weapons that literally anyone could chunk the ball up to get described as pro ready.

Mel Kiper is a nut job. Mcshay, I can't even put a face on. But what the media thinks and what is reality is two totally different things.

 

See Lamar Jackson. Robert Griffin. Mike Vick. Cam Newton. Randall Cunningham. Steve McNair. Daunte Culpepper. All had the exact same assessments.

Corral is almost too short at 6'2" to QB in the NFL in my book.

Please, if you draft a QB shortsightedly instead of a someone like Myles Murphy who could make your line terrifying and probably boost sacks for Burns, draft one over 6'2" please.

Corral is your quarterback though so...

I know you are trolling and this is your shtick, but Corral cannot practice until August.  You think a new coach is going to roll with that when we have a top 3 pick.  I get your over the top style but come on man this is getting retarded at this point

 I'm looking back at you the same way. They made moves to get a QB THEY really like. You may not have picked him but they made a pretty serious investment in the kid. You actually think they're NOT going to play him? Who's retarded?

Don’t get me wrong I loved the bloke but he never had back to back winning seasons and he never won us a SB. 

Ok, doesn't change a thing. There isn't a 6'6" 250lb bulldozer QB in this draft. Is Stroud or Levi the Heisman trophy winner, don't know. Are Stroud or Levis SEC championship winning QBs? We don't know. We do know Cam was all of those things before becoming a Panther and Cam is the most singular reason we won enough to get to the Superbowl.

How many QBs have had a 15-1 season? Not very many. Cam is better than you think. If you watched that Superbowl you'd know the fix was in so give the guy a break he's the best we've had and should be respected as such.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
