You go with the Derrick Thomas aka DT reincarnate over any QB in this draft. If it was Amderson versus a Trevor Lawrence, you take Lawrence, but it's not.

Roll with Corral, take Grayson McCall in the 2nd, keep a veteran clipboard holder and you're set at QB. If it's a rebuild you go with the generational player as a corner stone. Not a JAG like Stroud or Levis.

This isn’t a shot against the OP because I feel like everyone just looks at the numbers, but when is the last time a triple-option QB had success in the NFL…

If Corral’s red flag was that he came from an RPO offense then a fugging stop sign needs to be put up for McCall as Coastal’s basic offensive principles come from the triple-option.

stupid thread

Just Fields says hello with his Ohio State pedigree. 

You'd rather have that, or Dwayne Haskins, than Will Anderson? Anderson is the closest thing to Micah Parsons out there. You don't pass on that for Will fuging Levi's or CJ Stroud.

Especially if we hold on to Burns.

Have you watched Coastal? They run an RPO, sure. But he's also thrown 70 touchdowns to 6 interceptions in his career. He broke Tua's record for passer efficiency rating by 20 points when the record was only being broken incrementally. 

Throwing for 7,000 yards and 75 touchdowns in a little more than 2 seasons isn't "triple option".

I’ve watched Coastal plenty of times… and yes what they do is entirely based off the triple-option.

I’m not saying that he’s not good at what he does. I’m saying that I don’t want anything to do with a G5 QB running a heavy RPO/Triple-Option scheme.

It looked like Corral was going to need a full season to get accustomed to an NFL playbook and he ran RPO at an SEC school against quality defenses… McCall is doing it against Sun Belt teams…

Furthermore, if this was a triple option, wouldn't McCall have a few thousand more rushing Yards and few thousand less passing, and probably 50 less touchdown passes? 

Regardless of whether you take McCall, you still take Anderson over anyone else. You'll never get a shot at a guy like him except in the Top 5 and every 5 years. That's compared to Stroud or Levi's who would be 2nd round picks in a normal QB draft class.

Those guys are nothing compared to what you should be able to nab at 1 for a QB.

Even if you wanted to draft a defender first overall this dude is going to play LB or DE in the pros? And will the team drafting him use him the same way he was used in college? Simmons from Clemson comes to mind in Arizona as a dude with tons of talent who was all over the field in college and the Cardinals used him nothing like he was in college. 

On top of this, I don't believe McCall is worth a second round pick.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
