I could be reading to much into this

But Reich in specific mentioned 

“offense look like Philly”

and

”dual threat like Hurts”

 

additional here recently.

Joe Person hinted at who we’re going after at OC in Brian Johnson out of Philly.

Johnson coached Richardson in Florida.

lastly.  Daniel Jeremiah is one of the most clued in guys in what’s going on in league circles in around draft season.  Jeremiah now has Richardson his 13th OVERALL prospect in this draft

Richardson is not Hurts. Hurts was actually a good QB in college with a label placed on him. He was good enough to be a top 5 pick.

Stats wise.  But no one had a 1st rd grade on him like ARich.  Anthony is a bit more raw but has a lot more tools.  And who knows what he would look like throwing to 4 future top 20 picks in that offense or the Oklahoma Lincoln Riley offense which is notorious for making QBs shine.

Hurts looked like a guy who needed a position change at Bama. It's hard to judge Lincoln Riley QBs. Everyone he puts on the field puts up video game stats in Heisman worthy campaigns.

Only thing I disagree with is Teddy arm, I think that's being EXTREMELY generous to Teddy's arm. He's pretty similar to Burrow in my eyes arm wise who doesn't have top league arm strength but can make the throws but his bread and butter is short and mid range accuracy.

I honestly think that Georgia game watching him work off script answered some of my bigger questions in regards to only being able to work in the system, while yes I think you want them to work in the system he struggled previously when things broke down. In the Georgia game he generally made positives out of that other than a few specific plays I can remember and doing that against that defense is a pretty big step in the right direction for me.

I do think that Georgia game is blinding people from some of his obvious flaws though and I think those are the reason he very easily could be the third QB taken. I'd still be very happy to take him as I think he is the safest QB to take in the first and I think a lot of his issues Reich can help him work through.

Honestly, I think Georgia was off. I don't believe that Stroud would fare so well if he had to play them again. That being said, he had a great game---probably his best ever.

Honestly I just think they faced someone with enough talent to finally challenge them where they were weak. They are notorious for refusing to change what they do for any team because their mentality is that they are going to force others out of their comfort zone by shear talent and will. I think their game vs Tennessee and TCU really demonstrated that.
 

Ohio State had enough receiver talent and a good enough oline to neutralize what they love to do and challenge their secondary. Stroud had to be on to do it but you could tell they weren’t used to getting pushed like that. 
 

I think Georgias defense is good enough on an off day to be a significant challenge though so I don’t think it’s fair to discount what Stroud was able to do necessarily, but I don’t think it washes away all question marks or anything.

People put way too much emphasis on the team outcome when looking at prospects. Mahomes was 16-21 during his college career.

Nothing I wrote was about the team… it was all about stroud? What are you referring to that led you to believe I was speaking to the Buckeyes?

As Gil Brandt said ‘if you don’t have a Qb, you have no chance’

Every team has a QB. I suppose he is saying go draft one of the hot names. Out of the four guys in the NFL Championship round: Burrow #1, Mahomes #10, Jalen Hurts #53, and Brock Purdy #262.  If you see a Burrow (or a Lawrence or a Luck), go get him. If not, don't mortgage your future.  So three of four we could have had w/ pick #9.

Trading up to #3 isn't going to be enough. We need to move all the way up to #1 to ensure we have our pick of QBs.

The Texans are sitting pretty at #2; they're guaranteed Young or Stroud. The Colts are going to be gunning for #1 and have a higher pick than us to begin with. That's our primary competition.

It's a given then that this year's 1st + 2024's 1st are going to be part of any trade; likely 2025's 1st as well. Beyond that we may need to give them our late 2nd this year and possibly our 3rd as well.

That's a LOT to give up, but I think it's necessary. At this point we're stuck in no man's land without a QB to the point that nothing else really matters until we find our guy.

If Tepper/Fitterer we're willing to give up the farm for damaged goods in Deshaun Watson then surely they're willing to give up a similar deal to secure a young franchise QB at #1 overall.

Yes. Same story every year.  Go back and look who could have been drafted had fox drafted one when he knew jake’s elbow was shot…the QBs that fox passed on…god almighty   Same when Rivera knew Newton’s shoulder was done 

I have faith that under Reich  there will be no drafting a rb or qb, when it is a qb and decent backup needed in that an room 

the colts were a mess under that owner and GM   It will be different here 

over the years of failure by the Panthers, not having a qb is the common denominator 

teams with sustained excellence had one

Texans have the draft capital to move from #2 to #1 if they have a preference between Stroud and Young, if Chicago did move back to #2, they could once again have the Colts or us going for a 2nd trade. Assuming they ultimately want Jalen Carter or Will Anderson I don't know if they'd wanna move back to 9.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
