If we draft another edge player instead of a true middle backer or a dlineman or guard, I'd view it as a waste. If we go QB and it is anything less than a slam dunk pick, I'll swear off drafting a day one QB ever again. Lol

why not a long snapper or a punter too

With this franchise, this isn't only possible, but likely

I am a Florida homer. I said we should have no part in Kyle Trask because I don't believe he has the physical skills to make all of the throws in the NFL. When you watch the Bowl Game against Oklahoma and his starting WRs were gone and Pitts wasn't playing, his lack of velocity became very apparent. He is a big guy with a below average arm.

He went in the second round.

Richardson has the wheels of a high end NFL QB. Richardson has the arm of a high end NFL QB. People forget that Dan Mullen would refuse to play this kid last year when Emory Jones couldn't move the ball. Richardson is still learning the position. And thats the scary part. Can he continue to learn and grow? Do you trust your coaches to help him develop? He is showing those signs in college NOW.

Anthony Richardson first four games:
65 of 121 (53.7%) for 876 yards, 2 passing touchdowns and 5 interceptions. He also tacked on 41 carries for 196 yards and 5 TDs. 4.78 yards per carry. During this time he faced no top defense. Tennessee was the closest and he threw for 450 yards, 2 touchdowns passing, 2 rushing and 1 INT against them at the end of the game. 

Since then he has played five games:
66 of 114 (57.8%) for 963 yards, 7 passing touchdowns to only 2 interceptions. He also tacked on 33 carries for 296 yards and 3 TDs. 8.96 yards per carry. He did this against LSU, Texas A&M and Georgia. 

Hooker / Richardson vs Georgia = 195 yards and 0 TDs and 1 INT vs 271 yards and 1 TD with 0 INT. Richardson is three years younger with significantly worse weapons and protection than Hooker. 

Hooker likely goes in round 2. So Richardson, from a pro-tools standpoint is likely going high end round 2 or back end of round 1. But thats if he continues to play ball with minimal turnovers and show progress as a passer. 

Everyones favorite prospects as QB are talking a hit on their numbers in recent weeks and folks are looking for reasons to tear them down and Richardson is the one showing progress throughout the year. 

I still hope he comes back for one more season but hes going to get a lot of love from scouts and it may force his hand.

I would hope for the best but I'd be nervous as fug. Improving accuracy and consistency is one thing if you're talking about a 20 year old RS sophomore. It's a very different thing when you're talking about a guy who will be a 24 year old rookie.

Agreed. And aside from Josh Allen, how many NFL qb prospects who showed less than stellar accuracy in college improve that aspect of their game at the pro level? To me it seems a short list indeed for such a key part of a prospect's game.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
