Don't feel bad, we all are. So are NFL talent evaluators. There are busts and steals every year and every draft class would look a LOT different of you could redraft them a few years later.

I dont think its as much talent evaluation as it is system/coaching/development.  I mean everyone on Gods green earth could see Josh Allen has all the tools he just needed a detailed 1-2-3 year plan on how to get better.  He goes to 80% of the other teams and his ass is out of the league by year 4.  The first couple of years are crucial for a young qb and I think we are in a perfect spot to try the same

How many QBs have made the type of accuracy improvements Allen has though? It's easy to say in hindsight that all he needed were massive mechanical overhauls but those almost never pan out. You need both. You need good evaluation and good coaching.

I think many folks were worried about his injury past, only to watch him get injured again, while looking awful in the preseason. 

I liked him a lot. I fell for him as a qb when he had a really bad game against LSU i think his sophmore year. This is from way before the draft but its how i felt. I even said id be his huckleberry. Decent review of hooker on that site too if you search him.

No thanks. Non contact ACL injuries are a big red flag.

The ACL injury is the biggest red flag for me. I would have drafted him late first or early 2nd before the injury. Now he will be a longer range product. I like the OP’s thinking, just don’t think the Panthers have time to wait. I guess we all are thinking about the next Brock Purdy.

Sure he can. If the new regime's gameplan is to "pray for Maye".

We do need to give him a chance. You cannot go off of how he looked last year with the 4th string blocking for him during training camp. He never had a chance, it was all hype about the other quarterbacks. If we dismiss Corral without giving him a chance we are doing so at our own peril.

The ACL can tear with both contact and noncontact maneuvers. Approximately 70 percent of injuries are noncontact and occur when the athlete is trying to change directions, slow down or land from a jump.

You made me Google--does that change your mind?  I saw Thomas Davis (at OTAs) injure his ACL (the second one) I happened to be looking right at him--and he was doing agility/warmup drills.  Full Disclosure:  I am not a medical doctor.

No QB looks good without the OL doing its job--they were horrible.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
