Something interesting caught my eye last night and I might be reading too much into this but this was from the introductory press conference for Thomas Brown

From the Thomas Brown Presser regarding what he looks for in a QB:

“A really good one,” he said with asmile. “I think it’s a lot of guys that kinda come in all shapes and sizes. But to me, it’s an ongoing conversation. We had some great dialogue the last couple days. It’s about who fits into this system, but also having a point guard mentality. Being able to distribute the ball to your playmakers and on third down, red zone, two-minute, go play Superman.”

Now, I went back and watched Josh McCown's analysis on Bryce Young and here is just a small clip on his skill set:

Now, again, maybe reading too much into this but the fact that Brown mentioning that he wants a QB with a point guard mentality and McCown (who is now the QB coach with Carolina) saying Bryce Young is a point guard and then factor in the intangibles Brown wants... Just seems to scream Young.

Not my ideal choice, considering his size but I can't deny that he is a really good QB... The draft can't get here soon enough.

It's probably a stretch, just a common sports metaphor.

That said, I don't know basketball so I can't say I get this one.

It basically just means we'd prefer a QB who isn't just a facilitator but a guy who can make things happen on his own if necessary. We had a guy like that once. It feels like such a long, long time ago now.

That's the way I read it.  Our staff is looking for a guy who can get it to his teammates on schedule, or make something happen when the play breaks down.  A modern franchise QB.

Not sure that's really a surprising statement honestly.  It's kinda what every team is looking for, but Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, Hurts . . . those guys don't pop up very often.

Carr definitely isn’t the QB they are looking for. 

A statue in the pocket and takes a ton or sacks and fumbles a lot. 
If the play breaks down he just scrambles but not to extend the play but to throw the ball away. 
Also he may have good stats but they don’t tell the story of him throwing terrible INTs in a crucial game. He can have a lot of brain fart moments. 
 

TLDR: Carr doesn't fit this staff or team.

Well if it's Bryce Young they're after we're definitely trading up.

I also thought it was interesting that he mentioned QBs coming in "all shapes and sizes." Seems to indicate Young as well.

Sounds crazy now, but I could see Bryce Young falling.  It wouldn't be the first time a projected No. 1 pick fell.  I'm not saying he will, just wouldn't surprise me.  Really depends on how old-school of a mindset exists with the teams picking ahead of us.

At 9 we don't have our choice of QBs. We will take what's there or move up the draft

I agree, but I have wondered if Young will drop due to his size--lots can happen, but I still think we'd have to be at #3 or #4 to get him.  I am hoping Levis is not there when we pick, and I am thinking that only Richardson will be there.

If you want to know how brilliant this is, read the post that followed it.  Uncanny jeanyus on this board.  posted at the same time

      Don’t get me wrong, I love Koochie. I think he could be a star. But I’m not convinced Rod trusts him. And I realize my post was confusing. I meant based on the reports of swapping Necas for Ullmark or another goalie. If we’re going to trade for a goalie I would rather use draft picks instead of lowering the value of Necas.

      You can make a decent case that most of the starters are at-least average. But depth-wise, its awful, maybe the worst in the NFL.  The only reason they could be a playoff team, is the awful NFC south and its collection of bad QBs and coaching staffs. That changed big time when cousins and Morris arrived to ATL. Now it would take a setback to cousins, in which he currently ready to play given all the stem cells and peptides stuff he has.  In past years there was always some elite talent leftd on the 7 win rosters. Like many know theres just dbrown and a huge ? in horn. If hunt was elite, phins would have tagged him. There's no Thomas Davis, Luke, Cam, Olsen, peppers, kalil, beason, gross, Jenkins, Smitty etc on the team. Brown is great and all, but sacks and pressure wise, he's not game changing. Panthers lack difference makers, young ones. You could make a weak case for clowney, but that ravens D is stacked.  Us fans just need to hope Dan Morgan can collect more young difference maker in the next 2-3 years. If Bryce isn't that guy, 4 years before this team can sniff the playoffs.  Honestly the panthers are due some luck as well.

      The fact that Smitty TD and all of our other black players love JR, it was probably another made up cancel culture BS to go along with the times.
