21-4

24-3

6-7

i'm not all about caring that much about QB W-L records, but as a pretty objective just Panthers fan rooting for the Panthers to select the right dude at QB1, one of these things is not like the other.

This is to mostly ignore that asking 'what has (a heisman winner) won?" being an objectively ridiculous question. Comparing the 3 players performances against UGA is also a fair (something all of them have done) indicator to me, if we're also going to ignore consensus mock drafts/experts/majority of the huddle/literally everyone having a 1-2 of either Stroud/Young or Young/Stroud for argument's sake here.

There may not be a lot of QB consensus among our fanbase, but I personally don't think we're flipping a coin that starts with "there's a possibility here that in the future, AR15 could be as good as Young or Stroud!"

Well firstly, you have to look at recruiting classes - Ohio St, Alabama and Georgia are absolutely stacked - everyone else is playing for 4th place: 

We're talking about a QB going #1 overall - everyone has brought up Newton today. He dragged an Auburn team with (I think) 1 other first round pick on the roster to a National Championship.

Georgia just won back-to-back National Championships with a 25 year old walk on who's likely to get drafted on Day 3.

So yes I think it's worth discussing 'what have Stroud and Young won'? If they're worthy of the #1 overall pick, surely they've elevated their ridiculously stacked teams, right? More so than said 25 year old walk on?

With regards to your final point, I think there's a legitimate chance that Richardson completely eclipses Young and Stroud in the league.

Florida is 12th on that list, for anyone who doesn't want to click it.  So I'm personally going to choose to not group their talent in with 2010 Auburn.  So yeah going 6-7 with the 12th best recruits around per your own point doesn't seem all that impressive, when, yes, in fact, Stroud and Young were elevating, or at the very least, winning 20+ games

Richardson will be the pick. I think Fitterer wants Young and Reich wants a bigger guy. Stroud is not going to be Frank's choice.

I agree it is between Richardson and Young. But why do you think that Stroud, specifically, wouldn't be Frank's choice?

Hot take: if he comes here he completes over 65% of his passes and alleviates concern about his accuracy. 
 

But we should draft Stroud. 

During the Scheme videos McCown didn't seem particularly excited about having to devote a whole offseason to teaching someone QB 101 stuff. I think his footwork is gonna take a while, even then a lot of guys revert back to bad habits as soon as they're in a real game and the pressure and speed pick up. At least he's young enough for the right team to take their time

Plus, I'm pretty sure that Herbert, Peyton, Brady, and Mahomes never won anything. Neither did Brees. 

On the other hand, Matt Leinart and Vince Young won. So did Jameis Winston and Charlotte's own Chris Leak. In fact I remember Leak carving Ohio State up in the championship game like it was nothing...and then that's exactly what he ended up doing in the NFL...nothing.

Always thought leak got a raw deal in the NFL, guess he was too small

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
