Look at it like horse racing, the draft trade to 1st overall represents a huge pile of your eggs being wagered. 

AR is too much a long shot to bet huge to win. Maybe you play a place or show bet, but putting huge amounts down, you want the safer bet.  Better chance to win, means less chance to lose. 

Spending the 9th would be a different story.
My preference would be to place a longer odds bet on a guy at 9 (rather than to bet so much we are afraid to place on what we think could be the fastest horse).

Unlike horse racing, you can win the same amount betting 5 bet or 50 if you choose wisely. Years of picks, or a 3rd rounder, pay the same when they hit. 

If we're playing this game: I think Richardson is the HR swing. I think Stroud is the line drive double.

True to an extent. We do know he had a 53% completion percentage. I find it difficult to believe he applied himself as fully as say Bryce Young or CJ Stroud, especially given his immense physical talent.

Completion percentage doesn't matter. Holton Ahlers(67.2%) had a higher completion percentage than Stroud(66.3%) and Young(64.5%) last year. Does that mean Ahlers applied himself more than Stroud and Young? No, it's just a report of how often the WRs/TEs/RBs caught passes no matter how good or bad they were thrown, and not a measure of how good or accurate a passer the QB is. Which makes no sense why it's a QB stat.

Going to be interesting to see how accurate he is tomorrow. He's definitely an intriguing prospect given his insane athletic ability.

 

Frank has never had a QB with those skill sets. He's getting older so he might want to go out trying something bold.

 

Im not writing off AR as of now. I think we will know for sure closer to the draft who are our finalists.

He had Andrew Luck.

53% is abysmal for a college QB. We’re not talking about splitting hairs between high completion %

Luck was a passer. And although he could run he wasn't even close to being the athlete AR is. I think they are 2 totally different QB's.

He was pretty freakin' athletic (basically a hair less athletic than Cam Newton).

How abysmal is it though, for a first-year college quarterback, comparatively? Especially one with such awful receivers. One game I watched easily had 6 dropped passes, including a touchdown, with 2 more passes being questionable if the receiver should have caught it.

If Richardson stayed in school another year, I believe his completion percentage would have improved to over 60% easily.

Weird comparison. Nobody said Richardson is Cam Newton. He just has some of his traits.

 

Cam was arguably the most dominating college player in history. He really was a man amongst boys.

You missed the point completely. He excused ARs poor college QB play saying Florida didn’t have talent, I’m comparing Cam because he didn’t have much around him at Auburn and carried the team. Richardson did not do that, therefore not worthy of #1 overall.

An assumption you don't make after trading up to #1.

Did Will Levis have such a markedly better cast around him? He managed to complete 65% and I don’t see anybody banging the Levis drum. Maybe AR doesn’t throw a very catchable ball.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
