I spoke to an NFL source recently who told me Carolina is far more zeroed in on Tanner McKee than CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson.

So what if he’s a ball boy for the Browns. A source is a source!

please make it twitter official so we can throw the Texans off with this smokescreen!

Interesting and terrifying and long stretches of bad plays and WTF moments..

Not really. He misses receivers a lot of the time because of footwork. He has elite movement in the pocket, scans the field well, and generally makes good decisions. This along with his elite size, speed, and ability to create with his legs is going to be enticing to front offices.

I would bet on some level a lot of the scouts have Young's size, and Stroud's adversity under pressure as worse knocks than footwork leading to inaccuracy. If Richardson played another year he would have definitely improved his accuracy enough to be considered possibly the consensus number one overall.

False, because the Texans aren't going to trade up if we say we want Young. The only way they'd trade up is to block the Colts from getting Young. So we make it look like we would trade to get to 4, where Richardson would be, so the Colts could get Stroud or Young, thus making the Texans feel compelled to trade up with us to get their choice, when in reality we just want Stroud.

So while we may not actually want Richardson, if we are willing to trade down for him, that may compel the Texans to trade up for whomever. 

Any trade back rumors with the Colt would have to involve the Cardinals moving to the 4th.

No one would believe Panthers would drop to 4th, and risk any team to jump to 3rd. 

One of the most frequent posters here, whom have also promoted this idea of a trade back, have hammered in that the Panthers aren't willing to drop more than to the 2nd (!!?!?!?!?). How all this trade back then magically would happen. 🤷‍♂️

One scenario is see is. Panthers going to Texans and, pretty please. Can you trade with us, please 🙏 😥😢😭

I'm almost starting to think that Richardson is our target and that's why we'd consider trading down a spot or two. We'd still be thrilled with Stroud and Young but we're really tempted to take a shot on Richardson's immense talent... but we're scared of being kicked like SF was with Mac Jones. Signing an Andy Dalton means you're not forced to play him right away.

Next thing we hear is that the pick will be Stetson Bennett.

Even if it's AR (which I don't think it is) I feel like he is getting playing time week 1.  Dalton is the backup and got paid like a backup.  

I know ppl feel in love with the combine performance.. But reality is he is more Raw then Trey lance with way less experience.. He is not ready to start and needs at least a year to sit.. At least..

I think he may be less raw than people are thinking.  I could see a team incorporating an offense similar to the Eagles last year and running a lot of plays with AR helping get his feet wet in year one.

It's Stroud guys. The Bryce Young bit is a smoke screen to see if the Texans will bite to trade up to keep the Colts from coming up. The bit included about Richardson is a smoke screen as well because he would be there at 4. So make the Texans think we are interested in Richardson or Stroud, that we would trade down to 4 for Richardson, so the Texans feel compelled to move up to 1 to get Young, meanwhile we still get Stroud at 2. 

Got it? Good. 

Unless you are part of the smokescreen.  Mind blown.  (Sorry, this GIF is a bit graphic, but it is applicable, dammit!)

Yes really it is .. Stop watching hype video where they only show you the good plays.. He missed more short easy throw then anybody I’ve ever seen .. If another team play a zone he was lost completely.. If they stopped the run the game was over and look like Darnold in NO last season.. 

I have no clue what you think you saw but this kid maybe just as raw or even less prepared to play then Malik last year and the “real” Tape says this..

I don’t want to have to do that for the 1st pick in the draft.. 
Come up with gadget plays just to get him playing time??? 
We gave up 3 picks and our number 1 Wr for that??

And you literally just described what San Fran did with Lance..

    • Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away. 
    • Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did. 
    • 100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
