Irrespective of our current draft position, or whether it's realistic to move up to #3 or #1,  who should be the first QB on the Panthers draft board after the Combine?

For me, it's still CJ Stroud!

As impressive as Anthony Richardson was as a physical athletic specimen, and he does have a strong arm.  I think CJ Stroud was easily the most impressive of any QBs. He showed a lively arm, with tight spirals, quick release and accuracy.  His deep ball was on point too.  

What say you?

I'd take a flier on Hooker and stay at #9. I totally think that if Hendon didn't tear his ACL, he'd be right there in the conversation with the other four QBs. To clarify, that is take Hooker with one of the 2nd round picks, not at #9.

You think he should be #1 on the board even if others are hypothetically available at #9?

Depends who is remaining.  Over Richardson, possibly, because he's so underdeveloped.  No, I would not take Hooker at #9 even if they have him higher than AR. At #40, sure.  He will not be ready until late camp despite hoping to be ready by camp open. When I say ready, meaning no restrictions.  I doubt a medical team will fully clear him in the next four months.

The same as before the draft, Young. He's the most skilled/complete QB in the draft despite the size concerns.

He's a baller for sure.  Size is the only thing that gives me pause due to higher potential of injury

His size should give people pause for the same reason that in college you can be more athletically gifted than 99% of your peers, but the NFL is the cream of the crop so college fast doesn’t = NFL fast. College defenses, even at their best, will rarely have more than 2 1-3rd round prospects, in the NFL those defenses are full of athletic guys that play faster, hit harder and process info better. Young will inevitably take a couple shots to his sub 200 lbs body, the question is can he absorb playing the Georgia defense 17 weeks a season or is his body only ready to take hits from Vanderbilt ladyboys?

It's not my top move, and I doubt really happens but it's a different scenario to consider.  Smith-Njigba is definitely trending towards a top-10 pick and would be a pretty dope tandem with DJ Moore.  Only issue is how we attack the vet route.  I just can't do Darnold again (and doubt the new staff would) if Hooker is this late 1st/early R2 pick a la Lamar, Hurts, Derek, etc.

 

That being said, I'm heavily favoring a Stroud, then Young, then Richardson.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight

      There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
