He played Nickel for us last year... that isnt news. He had multiple QB hurries last yea bltizing form nickel, including a two tipped balls in which one of them landed in Derrick Brown's hands for an interception. 

He played some nickel. He primarily played outside.

Sounded more to me that Chinn is gonna be primarily nickel and they will slide JC if they need to.

Yeah…

That won’t end up for Chinn and then sliding Jaycee inside and relying on Donte this year when coming off an Achilles injury won’t end well either

Hasn't even brought up any QBs.

He described what they’re looking for in a rookie QB and it was pretty much Bryce Young to a T. Said Frank Reich doesn’t mention a single measurable when he talks to him about what he wants in a QB. Said ideally 2-3 years of tape and that’s who the guy is, putting little stock in combine and pro day work outs. Said somebody who is a “fast processor” makes the right reads pre and post snap, etc. etc.

He did just say it’s game tape, not combine or pro days. Wants 2-3 years of experience. 

The Russel talk could be a smokescreen still but this is as close to a no on Anthony Richardson as it gets without saying it outright.

values being a "natural born leader, in and out of huddle, fast processor, pre-snap reads"

I really wouldn’t read much into these answers. Scott isn’t going to reveal much and knows other teams may be watching 

I don’t think for a second they’ll trade back but if Scott still wants to play this ridiculous trade back game he’s obviously going to give answers that would make you think they want Young

Everytime I hear the FO talk it feels like Bryce. It’s interesting.

He shadowed the WR1. When that WR1 when into the slow, he went with him. 

It was shared in one of the threads here on the huddle that Horn played over 30% of his snaps in the nickel position. 

Yeah Horn is a legit travel corner which is super rare these days

Thank you.

you're twisting that dramatically to fit some narrative of bryce young, I watched it too and every question relating to bryce young or height was brough up by the media, not by scott. 

 

he said looking for a leader, someone who treats people well, someone who can get them in and out of a huddle, and someone who has put on good tape.

He has the #1 pick.  He doesn’t need to care about revealing anything.  He definitely won’t move down unless it’s Houston and even then I highly doubt it

    • He gets the blame because his role as the QB is to make plays, help the team score more points and elevate players around him. He does none of that. Just because he didn’t massively mess up doesn’t mean he wasn’t a reason for the loss. The bar some of you have for Bryce is incredibly low.
    • 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.
