Yeah...

Kinda wish people would stop seeing Newton in every athletic quarterback that comes down the pike.

Chasing "the next whomever" in the draft is all too frequently a waste of time.

Cam was truly a generational talent. Unfortunately, Ron Rivera elected to set back and ride Cam’s coattail rather than elevate the Oline and preserve Cam’s health. What did Ron Rivera ever accomplish as a coach prior to and post Cam Newton? Answer is below average…it’s not a coincidence.

So Levis can pass the ball, but you said he's not far behind AR in terms of being a bust.

 

That literally makes no sense!

 

Show me a QB in NFL history who could pass well but was considered a bust?

I said Levis can pass the ball…meaning he has a decent ability to read a defense and deliver the ball accurately.  That doesn’t guarantee anything.  I am not sold he can read an NFL defense and process quickly.  Hence, he can bust as well.  
 

Stroud and Young are the QBs worth moving crazy assets for but Levis brings more risk IMO.  AR is a crazy risk because you are wanting him to be something he has never shown.  
 

I would ask is AR even that great a runner?  Feels like Ronald Curry who moved to a skill position later in his career because he couldn’t be accurate.  You are basically running full time wildcat if you are starting AR.

AR hype is crazy I agree.

 

But if it came down to AR or Levis give me the guy with the higher ceiling AR. He has the tools to be a poor mans Cam. With the right coaching I think he can offer a bit more than Levis can.

 

Saying that I hope that isn't the goal. We really need to try and get Stroud or Young if we can.

Agree…except for AR having higher upside than Levis but that’s cool.  Excited about the draft and we both have similar dreams.

 NFL Scouts are reporting that Anthony Richardson's  pocket awareness is improving all the time and are impressed by his  absolute cannon of an arm that can hopefully become more accurate with additional games.

Richardson has more upside than most. But if the Panthers went in his direction, then giving him adequate time to refine his skills is essential rather than throwing him in as the Day 1 starter.

There is still a rawness to Richardson’s overall production. His decision-making needs work and there is also a tendency to force throws rather than take what he’s given, which could become a problem against NFL defenders.

I mean ... do we not want to build a dynasty here? I said it in another thread, some of you want to relive the Cam Era so damn bad you're willing to draft a WORSE version of him? That makes zero sense. I know Cam brought joy to your lives, guys ... but come on. We need a GREAT QB ... not a discount version of:

Physical tools alone he is a lot closer to Cam

Willis: 6’0.5” 219 

Anthony Richardson 6’4 238

Cam 6’5 248

All Similar Speed.  Cam and Richardson similar arm strength.

now polished?  No where near Cam…….yet.

I’m not talking about strictly measurable I’m talking about the on field product.

Anthony Richardson can't pass. He's a fastball pitcher that will get picked off 4 to 5 times a game in the NFL. He has 0 touch and can't layer his passes and has little arm talent. His footwork in the pocket is raw. He is a wildcat QB that every NFL defense will challenge to win the game with his arm.

Definitely not a QB Reich would want behind center. There is no stability to his game and he is not clutch with his situational football.

You just said you would take Richardson on another thread…

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
