And yet just look at the reality that there are steals and busts in every NFL draft. Always has been, always will be.

Guys who were meh in college sometimes becomes NFL stars.

Guys who were superstars in college frequently become NFL busts.

Personnel work is definitely not an exact science. It's an extremely difficult job.

Don't forget he threw for 98 total yards and 3 INT's 0 TD's against Tennessee's 130th ranked secondary. 5 rushes for negative 22 yards however that happens. That's the game where he should have put up some numbers to be taken seriously

A team that Richardson did put up numbers against.

One of the most important qualities in a quarterback is their ability to lead a team and have a respected voice in the locker room. The great ones are THE leader of their team and the guy that the team looks to when games get tough. With that said, I don't know how anyone can expect Will Levis to command an NFL locker room when he PROUDLY puts mayonnaise in his coffee. That alone was enough to remove him completely from my draft board. Intangibles matter.

Very similar things were being said pre draft about Hebert being a bit weird and off and similarly irrelevant things were brought up as arguments why he wouldn't be a good leader. If you think hyper competitive millionaire professional athletes are going to refuse to follow a guy who can move the chains but has an odd choice of coffee condiments, I don't really know what to tell you.

I am with you that mayonaise in coffee is weird.

I'm even with you that mayonaise in coffee may be evidence that he's an alien trying to pose as human. It's that fuging weird. 

But if he can sling the rock, his teammates won't care if he's from Rigel VI or East Chicken Neck, they'll line up with him every time.

Russell Wilson is clearly not from this planet, but none of his Seattle teammates said so until he was gone.

Still waiting for like anything to be shown from him during an actual game.  His best moments were mostly Wandale last year and a handful of dimes that have been dropped since.  I'm sure you can dig up some decent stuff this year but man, it's been UGLY as of late. 

Never say never with guys with those tools, but he has two glaring concerns (1) age (2) no apparent in-game intangibles/"omg" type plays.  He just doesn't seem to find the moment to make big plays happen.  I don't see him utilizing these great tools he apparently has.      

Allen at least showed off his legs and arm a lot in college.  The velocity on his balls was absolutely insane, just a bezerk arm.  You saw him tease what could be built upon.  I am just rarely seeing that type of stuff from Levis.  Sure, its the system, but there's a lot left to be desired. 

Then you look at some of the other higher upside guys and they look just as good, if not better.  Not many have a bigger arm than Levis' though so that's what teams may be coming back to with him.  But you need to hit the ground running with him and I just don't see it.

Who knows, maybe he somehow looks okay today.  But I doubt it.

Of course.  That is why we need to trust the evaluators and stop listening to those that talk some of these guys up.  

The evaluators are the ones missing on those picks. That was my point. It's a very inexact "science". There wouldn't be near as much interest on the opinions of talking heads if the actual professional NFL talent evaluators proved to be better at their jobs but that's just the nature of reality.

The Jimmy's are rustled in here. You guys get triggered so easily about anything.

 

We're Panthers fans which means that a few weeks into the season there's pretty much nothing left to talk about except for hopefully a better future which means draft and potential coaches and frontier office folks. It is what it is.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
