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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
