Why I believe the pick will be AR-15

[philw5289]

Honestly I’m good with any QB but knowing this organization I think we go Richardson. 
 

#1 the timing of the trade. We traded for the #1 pick shortly after the combine had wrapped up. Honestly Stroud and Young did their thing but everyone knows Richardson won the combine. It was also said he was the most impressive during interviews. The panthers observed all this and knew they wanted him so they made it official by offering DJ Moore as soon as they got back. 
 

#2 Tepper- tepper is a businessman and above everything else he wants to make money. Look at the turf field and the rock hill disaster. It’s the viral era. Richardson is doing backflips and throwing the ball at the ceiling. Yeah that’s whatever but it generates traction and social media views. He moves the needle. He’s the most exciting, he’ll bring the most fans and sell the most jerseys. 
 

#3 Our coaching staff. With all the experience our staff has i think they all believe that they can make any of these QBs work. Richardson has the highest ceiling and that will make them look the best when he works out. 
 

#4 The Josh McCown scouting video. He made all these videos with the underdog channel prior to getting the panthers job. The one breakdown not on there? AR-15. Rumors are that he made the video but does not want it released yet due to the fact that it will give away our pick. McCown feels confident in what Richardson brings. 
 

again this is all speculation but I feel like it’s not too far fetched. Regardless I love the position and I love debating this draft pick. This is a great time to be a panthers fan and I look forward to our future. Keep Pounding

He got hired before they could make the underdog video on AR. No way Josh Norris would hold into the vid if they made it.  He’s a click a machine!!

"But everyone knows Richardson won the combine." Stopped here. Everyone knows the combine doesn't make #1 overall picks alone, and everyone also knows Stroud was the best thrower at the combine. 

AR can jump high but that means poo. He can run fast but that alone doesn't make Justin Fields elite, so what difference does it make for AR?

[Mother Grabber]

Fitterer “We don’t plan to have a high pick next year.” 

that does not mean drafting a three year project

I dont think they would be so dumb to trade up and give away what they did for AR.

Bro what

[Carolina Cajun]

Dear lord no.  I was ok with him at 9, but at 1?  I'd rather guzzle a bottle of bleach.  Stroud or young, its that simple.

This isnt a awful idea. The huddle will hate it because its a gamble. Boom or bust.l.. No middle ground.But your talking about a guy with unseen talent in a class where there is no sure fire number 1 guy. There are safe and decent prospects but no cant miss. At Young and Strouds best thats what they are.... AT ARs best hes a generational talent. 

[Panthero]

I disagree because he could be gotten without moving up (maybe a move to 6). 

In that situation

Texans take Bryce

Indy take stroud

Then it's dealers choice on AR and Levis

Wouldn’t be my first choice but I’d get behind it I do like a punt though. But even though I like AR better thanTrey Lance it feel like a Lance like gamble

You deserve your right to your opinion, and unlike some Huddlers, you provide your reasons for your thinking.  I am sorry you were called an idiot for thinking this--our moderators should not tolerate that, according to what they have said in the past.

Having said that, I think this is a stretch.

1. The combine rationale:  The timing of the trade---That is when Fitterer and Poles had the opportunity to meet.

2.  NFL teams are not in the business of selling Jerseys.  Winning brings in the fans, not the best athlete playing QB.  I am fairly certain that Stroud or Young, if successful (and they are most likely to be successful earlier than the boom or bust Richardson) will sell a ton of Jerseys and Tepper will not care.

3. If the coaching staff thinks they can make any of these QBs work, they do not trade up to #1-they trade up to #3.

4.  Assuming the Josh McCown video theory were accurate, wouldn't NOT discussing AR15 be an obvious giveaway wherein showing his video tape with the others would hide the fact that they like him?

The consensus around the league is that Carolina is a good landing spot for a young QB. The OL is in tact, they did not want to trade Moore, but they have done all they can to address WR with veterans; our TE is a veteran.  All signs indicate a Day 1 starter, not some super athlete who has one season of starting in college under his belt with a 54% completion percentage.  That makes no sense.  Do not let the flashing lights, bells, and whistles fool you--he is a great athlete, but not a great QB.

Like I've said before

Whomever is picked, will at the very least provide hope to this organization

Not happening at #1
