Yep. The Texans need to do what the Browns did, and save the Panthers from themselves.

Poorly run teams make poor decisions. Texans poor choice could make it easier for us to make a better choice. Problem we have is that we are a poorly run organization as well. 

I've got a feeling it's not going to be if we shoot ourselves in the foot, but just how badly we do it.

This has been the recurring theme of the Tepper era. The thought of a new QB and new coaching staff is both exciting and dread inducing since there's zero indications we'll choose wisely and ample indication we'll blunder colossally.

Why are we talking about drafting another young QB when we have Corral  on the roster?  Sure, he's unproven right now - but couldn't we build around him?   Or do you want a 2nd young QB to partner with him and build from there?

  • Odds are there will be a new HC that will want his own guy.
  • Corral was a mid round pick in a bad QB draft. Even in this draft, he wouldn't be talked about as a top guy.
  • And most importantly, the fans need something to hope for. A bright shiny new first round QB gives that to them more than anything else does.

I hope for David Tepper to quit fuging up constantly. That's what the Panthers really need.

We gotta stop thinking we can find a quick fix. Take the guy we think can become the best NFL QB, not necessarily the guy we think will be the best rookie QB.

Richardson is a project that has a very large likelihood of not being ever completed, so taking him in the top 10 would likely be a massive mistake. Not to mention a player like that would be in desperate need of a good QB coach to help them develop properly. That will be the same with any project QB with a steeper learning curve. 

So the questions to answer are(in order):

1. Is there a surefire franchise QB(or QB's) available?

2. Is there a developmental QB prospect worth taking in the top 10?

3. Is there a top end project QB(or QB's) that you don't consider top 10 draft worthy?

You basically adjust your draft strategy around that if you are a QB desperate team the way that we are. The lower end options also include having to resort to a stop gap FA option.....again.

I would take Richardson after the top ten. The only QB I would take in the top ten is Young. He has the skills, arm, and is already being looked at as a star. Yes, his size is a concern, but the NFL will protect him.

1.  No not even close

2. Maybe leaning to no

3. Yes

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
