His involvement in the fatal car crash aside, reports out of his pro day are that he has gained 9 lbs since the combine and was unable to finish the drills due to being out of shape. And that’s only position drills since he opted not to run the 40, do cone drills, or benches at his pro day.

Big yikes.

take him in the 2nd

Idk, would you take post-Tennessee Albert Haynesworth? The guy can’t even motivate himself to stay in shape for a few weeks to try to salvage what he can of his draft position. He hasn’t even gotten a contract yet. That’s pretty bad.

I can tell you that he was a non-factor against Ohio State.  Teams are likely hesitant to use a high pick on him.  

Heavy doubt, I've seen A LOT of replays of that Georgia game and Carter is constantly in the backfield, Stroud just gets away from the pressure.

This this this. Anyone that watched the game saw that after q2, he was a body on the field. That 2021 Georgia defense clears that 2022 Georgia defense easily.

I think I could do that and I'm having knee surgery next week... whew dude. C'mon man.

I've seen guys move better than that with a lit cigarette still between their lips.

Hope he can get his stuff together.

Im gonna laugh if he ends up falling to us in the 2nd.

 

Lets keep the red flags coming baby!

I wouldn't take him if he fell to our 3rd rounder, he's 100% off my draft board now.

If you can't be in good enough shape at your Pro Day to even finish the drills, then you aren't going to last in the NFL, he clearly doesn't have the right mindset that you want in a player.

It would be one thing if he just didn't put up good numbers, but he put on 9 lbs in the last 2 weeks and couldn't finish his drills.  He wants to be an NFL player, today was the most important job interview he'll ever have in his life, and he couldn't be bothered to be in shape for it.

You really want to use a draft pick that would get us a possible starter on someone like that?

Very very very very hard pass, this is a player who won't get a second contract in the league I have a feeling.

I was actually joking.

 

There is 0% chance he falls to the 2nd round. Some contender in the late 1st would take him in a heartbeat.

 

What does his film say?

 

 

I get that, the film will pop, but for someone who was already dealing with a massive amount of red flags, him putting on that much weight in the last 2 weeks and not being ready for his Pro Day is about as bad of a sign as it gets for a player.

Even playoff teams might not want him because they just don't think he has the right mentality to be an NFL player, that's laziness to a supreme level.

I'm guessing there are at least a dozen or so teams that completely took him off their draft board today and wouldn't touch him no matter how far he falls.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By frankw · Posted

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
