It ain't about his personality.

I mean, there is an element of it being his personality. He was controversial for always wearing his emotions on his sleeve but that guy loved football and loved winning.

Delhomme was that kind of guy too. Both intense competitors that were always emotional.

Meaning the comparisons between Richardson and Cam Newton aren't personality based.

I've been on the record of saying I love Richardson's talent and potential.

With that said, we'd be an awful landing spot for him. The Cam comparisons would come hot and heavy along with those types of expectations. He'd be much better off getting drafted by somebody like the Vikings or the Lions where he could sit and learn behind a decent vet for a year or two without the comparisons to a physically similar former NFL MVP hanging over his head.

Cam is his ceiling but let's be honest, Akili Smith is his floor. He's boom or bust. His game is either gonna translate and he's gonna be a stud or it won't and he'll be a total bust. I can't see anything in between. For the record, I said the exact same thing about Cam Newton.

Plus there is the obvious albatross of who would be developing him still to be answered.

TBH, I think maybe our path is a lot more clear when our staff is finalized. Well....and our draft position.

From 4 Man Rush...

Most of the respondents answered the latter.

He made a poll of it too. Only about 15% said they loved Richardson himself. About half (47%) said they just miss Cam and the other 38% said they'd rather have somebody else.

This is sad, but not surprising. Heck, people are still clamoring for the Panthers to bring Newton back. So, having what they consider a clone would be the next best thing.

For sure.

I won't be surprised to see the Giants all over Richardson. Daboll is the guy who developed Josh Allen.

If you want to actually break them down, they aren’t similar players coming out of college. 

Probably not, but that doesn't matter to some.

I've said before there are certain fans who, any time they see an athletic quarterback, think it's Cam come back to them.

Some folks don't seem to get how unique Newton was.

Right... this is hard to get thru to some posters... I have no issues with Corral and do believe if he's nearly as good as some posters here think he'll have a real shot to show it.

But the reality is he was a project, injured in a critical rookie season, with terrible coaching. Deck is stacked against him to put it lightly going into next season, even if he fits the new coach's scheme. And there's no way a GM or coach leans on him at all moving into the season.

Had it until there. Again, NOBODY knows that yet. 

It's very likely we see Matt Corral play. Matt Rhule's stupidity shouldn't be going such a long way to color a player a bust before his first official snap.

Why is the deck stacked against him. He's the only QB under contract next season and a friggin BARGAIN for once. Why wouldn't the Panthers play him after his been soaking up paychecks and rehab for a year by the time takes a snap.

A guy who's been on the payroll that the organization moved up to draft, the QB1 on McAdoo's big board, arguably the best QB in the SEC in 2021? That guy isn't playing?

He's playing. He'll probably get an opportunity even with a new coach. They may even like him enough to interview Lane Kiffin, then there would absolutely be no question. Harbaugh would probably like Corrals skillset too.

The Panthers are going to more than just kick the tires on Corral. They're going to see what they've got and we will too.

    • Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.
    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
    • This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
